| Warning Regarding Dog Training Materials: There is a lot of information on the web, in books, on TV and coming as advice from well intentioned people. Most of that advice is conflicting which will confuse your dog! Some of that advice is outdated, some of it dangerous. Here I have compiled a list of my approved resources. Everything here will match the methods used in class. |
