Disappointing

I had high hopes for this book. The first few chapters were great -- so great I actually bought the hard copy of the book to keep in my library -- and I truly expected to get some useful training plans and exercises from Ms. Gutteridge. However, I found very few actual exercises; instead she provided theoretical plans for how the dog would improve. As a dog trainer, I very much dislike authors/trainers who present easily obtained rosy outcomes for minimal, unchallenging training. Dogs that are fearful and reactive are not easily changed but Ms. Gutteridge seems to think it takes very little work to change a lunging, snarling, hard to hold explosive dog into a confident, easy to walk, pleasure to be around dog.

As for the audio book itself, that was another cause for disappointment. It actually leaves out 4 chapters of the written text! Yet there is no mention on this web site of this being an edited/abridged version of the book!

And on a picky note, the narrator should learn how to pronounce "bow". It's not "bow" as in something you tie with a ribbon, it's "bow" as in a social greeting, or in a dog's case, a play bow to indicate no harmful intent. Someone should have reviewed this audiobook both for content and pronounciation.

So, all in all, a disappointment.
