Saturday Dogs…and the owners they trained
This book won’t teach you how to get immediate results. To get a practical, step by step understanding of how dogs think, and a fast, permanent relationship with your dog, get “Saturday Dogs……and the owners they trained”, by Susan Overfield. She is Montana’s dog whisperer, and has been at it for 38 years, quietly changing dog after dog, owner after owner. Overfield gets dogs, and she gets people. And she does something traditional trainers don’t—she guarantees her results. Overfield trains using a relationship based, dog centered method. She is Montana’s own dog whisperer. She has trained rescue workers, breed groups, herding dogs, hunting dogs, dogs of every stripe, age, color, and personality. Her book is a delightful series of anecdotes which illustrate her method and how dogs think, using actual examples of dogs she has trained. The name of the book comes from her popular Saturday classes. Overfield trains around the country privately. She does fundraisers for rescues and shelters, and she also is acclaimed for speaking to large groups, including animal based trade groups. She writes like she talks, which is smart, witty, and unvarnished truth. Pick this book up here, or at her website: [...]. Watch the video. She is for real.
The consise information was helpful in training our two dogs. It worked for the older dog much to our surprise.
Received my book in a timely fashion. Have been working with my Great Dane with this book and is working well. Excellent purchase choice.
Clear, direct guidance. The author recognizes that dogs are not equals, they need training to be obedient and keep them safe as well as make them socially welcome. A good, practical book.
This book is very informative, and a must have if you want to work with your dog without paying a professional trainer. The picture illustrations are a perfect compliment to the written instructions. I especially liked the detail given about other obedience issues such as dog language and how aggression begins between dogs. This book is a permanent addition to our living room reading material!
