Q: Can't I just read a book?

 A. Let me answer this question with a question.....Have you ever tried learning to golf, play tennis, or ride a horse from reading a book?   Books and videos certainly are helpful, I have several good ones I recommend, but they don't replace customized coaching and training.  There are things we all do that we don't realize we are doing that undermine our leadership with our dog.

 

It takes an experienced eye to point this out. If you have ever watched Super Nanny you will see what I mean.  

 

Besides, I haven't figured out how to teach a dog to read yet!
