Manstopper!: Training a Canine Guardian de Joel McMains

Manstopper!: Training a Canine Guardian

Autor Joel McMains, McMains
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 ian 1998
This very thorough book on training a protection dog builds from understanding protection work to training, being an agitator, evaluating temperament, and more. Safety is emphasized throughout. It is fun, exciting, compelling reading, even if protection work is not a goal but simply a fascination.
