Good Dog 101: Easy Lessons to Train Your Dog the Happy, Healthy Way
I prefer positive training for my dog (a Doberman) instead or formal classic or military approach, one of the reasons I like this one so much.
Author takes a more simplistic approach: instead of pure positive training with clicker and not luring, she teaches how to keep using positive training but getting results a bit faster but still in a reliable and lasting way.
First 3 chapters explain the different dog training systems we currently have, including the classic military approach (Cesar Milan) the Pure Positive Training (Pat Miller) and this new and improve methodology which is Positive Training without the use of clicker as only marker.
The 2nd portion of the book are small chapters each on dedicated to dog behavior issues. The beauty of that is that they are disconnected so instead of reading the whole book at once you can go directly to an specific chapter on that topic (chewing problems, barking, etc) and read the “why” and “solutions” for that specific behavior problem. This “disconnected” chapters style makes the book really awesome besides the organization and TOC (Table of Content) is really nice.
Really good book. Easy to read, practical, straight to the point but without forgetting about the scientific reason and dog studies behind that (covered on chapters 1, 2 and 3)
Highly recommended!

Cristine Dahl, is in my extended family (cousin’s cousin). Its great to talk to her and i enjoy her book. I will soon be getting a puppy and will be using this book for training my new puppy. I have also taught my older dog to learn finally how to behave on a leash and drop a ball. Thanks Cristine.

This book is a must have for every dog owner; those who are just starting out and for those who think they might know-it-all. Seriously, who doesn’t want to own a well mannered dog: one that is a joy to take out in public and who has learned how to act politely when visitors drop by unannounced. I know I do!
Cristine Dahl has provided the dog loving community with a book that can teach even the most novice dog owner how to have a well trained dog, while also learning a little of the history behind it. She also guides the dog owner on how to deal with some of the more advanced problem behaviors. Dahl has a solid grounding in animal learning theory, therefore her methods are humane. She also speaks in a language that is both intelligent and easily understandable to the layperson, and her love for dogs is obvious.
