    I have been training dogs over ten years now but I have never had a show dog so I decided to buy a few books at amazon. I found this book

    Positive Training for Show Dogs: Building a Relationship for Success by Vicki Ronchette

    This book is ok , I like how the author uses clicker training with dog showing ( never thought to use the two , then again never had a show dog lol) I think the book could have been better. She focuses on pre clicker training etc.. I felt this book was for people who do no know anything about dog training/clicker training. There where only 2 sections out of the book useful Which is the stacking and gating. It was also boring to me since I am a dog trainer already most of the stuff I knew already. Again its neat she uses clicker training to train the dogs for show my dog is already doing better with the 2 sections that where useful to me.

    I have bought another handling book called new secrets of successful show dog handling by peter green & mario migliorini. I have skimmed through the book and this book is WAY better than Vicki’s book. If you combined these two books you will have the best dog handling book ever lol.

    I decided to give this book 2 stars because only 2 sections out of the book where useful. I like books that are useful from page one to the end sorry Vicki you need to make a more intermediate book.

    It’s hard to know how the author got so much information into a slender volume. I knew a bit about clicker training and a bit about conformation but never felt confident or natural with either. The author does a great job of explaining how to train to show and how to actually show all based on positive training. Five clicks on the clicker from me.

    Vicki Ronchette’s new book on positive training for show dogs simply works. I breed and show my dogs and have used her techniques in and out of the show ring – successfully!

    Her book is clearly written, easy to follow and really is a step by step method to help anyone, from beginner on up – to win at dog shows.

    Plus, your dog(s) will be happier if you use these steps!
