"Flurry is a beautiful 100 pound Great Pyrenees I adopted from the NLOL dog program. The techniques in this book were used by Barry to train Flurry. I was a little nervous about how Flurry would behave with my 11-year-old granddaughter. All my fears were laid to rest the third day Flurry was at my house. I was watching my granddaughter work with Flurry. She had Flurry get up on a stump and sit down. Then she laid a board from one stump to another stump, and had Flurry walk across the board and sit on the other stump. That was just the beginning. Flurry knows over 50 cues and she will do all of them for my granddaughter. It is amazing to watch this huge dog obey a little girl half her size for some treats. The training techniques in this book are not only very easy, but they work incredible well.""Pawley is a very pretty pointer mix I adopted from the NLOL dog program. When I met Pawley I was shocked by how well she obeyed Barry. She was trained to be a service dog, but her nervousness prevented her from getting a job. When she came up for adoption, I took a copy of her daily journal and a list that outlined all the cues Pawley knows and how to get her to do them home to my family. My children sat down and read it all. A few days later I brought Pawley home. Within two days of Pawley being at my house she was obeying all of her cues for my 14 year old daughter and 15 year old son. The techniques in this book are very easy, and they carried over from Barry to my family. I am still amazed by how well the techniques in this book work, not just for me, but for my children as well."Every dog should know how to perform the 20 cues taught in this book. The techniques are very easy and make learning fun for both you and your dog. These techniques are safe to be used by your whole family. Your dog spends more time with your children than you, so it is important he obeys them as well as he does you. Training your dog is the best thing you can do to improve your relationship with him and your family. If you take your time, your dog will know all 20 of these cues in no time. Do not get in a hurry, slower is faster when training your dog.
