The text is written so as to interest both those who breed and show corgis, as well as those who are just interested in owning one as a pet. The health care information is informative and provides pet ...

This +works+
9 years ago, I trained my problematic adopted Dalmatian using the guidance that this book provided. Prior to the training she nipped incessantly, our hands were near bloody, and we were very close to having her put down. When the training was complete, it was like the difference between night and day. The "attentiveness" that Koehler mentions is present to this very day, 9 years after the ...

Can't Get a Better Book About Goldens
This book is absolutely fabulous -- you can't get a better book about Goldens. For the beginner, it has all the information in there about how to housebreak him and when to take him to the vet, but it also has the Golden only type stuff, like how to teach puppies not to be afraid to swim. But it is really best for the expert, because there are so many photos of great Goldens and so many placed ...

The Great Pyr Bible
I have owned this book for seven years, and it was what sold me on buying a Great Pyrenees. A Great Pyrenees is a wonderful breed, but not for everyone. Please read this book before buying a Great Pyrenees. I have read this book multiple times,for it is the "Great Pyrenees bible". Other Great Pyrenees books were of no value to me. Paul Strang's book has helped me better understand my big, ...

The Koehler Method of Utility Dog Training

William Koehler

Howell Books, 1977

KOEHLER METHOD AGAIN CONSISTENT AND EFFECTIVE
Utility obedience is very challenging and Koehler offers consistent and effective methods to train difficult excercises. His emphasis is on clearly communicating with your dog. His methods generally get through to the dog very quickly. By the time you have reached this level (Having first read The Koehler Method, and Open Obedience Training), you should understand that his methods, while ...

AKC bible
This is the official publication of The American Kennel Club(AKC)so it stands to reason that it is quite elaborate and authorative; afterall, this is the 20th edition.If you want specific information about all the different breeds than this book is for you. Naturally the book only recognizes the breeds that are AKC and believe me, there are many others out there but yet to be officially ...

Bruce Fogle

Howell Books, 1995

Useful introduction to genetics, and behaviour of cats
I have read half this book in a single day, it was hard to put it down. While I was aware of many of the items in this book from reading other books about cats, the author provides a lot of information, and especially comparisons between dogs and cats, and other domesticated animals, all of which is very interesting. The author has a very good introduction to genetics. He also mentions ...

The Koehler Method of Open Obedience for Ring, Home and Field,

William R. Koehler

Howell Books, 1971

Thorough training makes for a safe and happy dog.
Although Koehler seems cruel to the novice, it is apparent on deeper inspection that he is, in fact, a great lover and respecter of dogs. (He was the Disney trainer for years.) One of his most famous arguements about training a dog with a firm hand is that if you LOVE your dog, how could you stand BUT to have complete and firm control over it at all times? Especially if it's about to dart in ...

The Koehler Method of Dog Training

Kohnler Method Works
I've owned and used this book's approach to training my dogs for decades. The benefits of owning an OBEDIENT and well-trained dog cannot be fully explained - but I think it's the only way to live. The problems most of us have with dogs are due to the owners who refuse to do what it takes to get control of their animals and allow the animal to dominate everyone's attention due to the pathetic ...

The Complete Poodle Clipping and Grooming Book

Best poodle grooming reference on the market
This book, along with the Oster poodle grooming video, were my lifelines when I first stumbled through grooming my black standard poodle almost 7 years ago. I have since bought other books on poodles, but the concise text, pictures and diagrams were extremely helpful in the beginning. I have opted for various pet trims instead of the traditional show trims as they are much easier to keep. I ...

Search And Rescue Dogs: Training Methods

American Rescue Dog Association

Howell Books, 1991

Super Book!!
I am quite involved in K-9 SAR and I really found this book helpful. I think on the training part of the dog it really zips through it faster than it should unlike Susan Bulanda's book "Ready, the training of the search and rescue dog". I still thin all parts are very well done. If you are getting into SAR or already involved you should consider this book as a part of your search dog library.

Howell Books, 1997

If you love miniature schnauzers,, you'll love this book.
This is the best new book on miniature schnauzers that I've seen. It covers history of the breed and desirable vs not-so desirable physical characteristics, and other interesting information, plus, oodles of pictures of modern champions and their lines. I found almost all of the champions in our schnauzers' pedigrees. The book did contain a clinical report on eye ailments, which was oddly ...

EXCELLENT, Informative - a MUST read for serious enthusiasts
If you are seriously considering making the Rottweiler your next dog, this book contains information on the how the breed started and Muriel gives you a background on bloodlines of todays breed ring competitors. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in the breed. Learn from books before contacting a breeder so that you know what to expect. The Rottweiler is a BIG responsibility and you owe ...

When I was in the market for a medium to large sized sporting dog, I began to research dogs such as the Chesapeake Bay retriever and of course the Golden and Yellow retriever. My search led me closer to the Bay retriever because of 2 reasons: athletic ability and intelligence. Upon closer scrutiny I soon discover from 'The New Complete Chesapeake Bay Retriever' that indead this was the ...

The Koehler Method of Training Tracking Dogs

3 reviews
William R. Koehler

Howell Books, 1984

Interesting Read for Koehler Fans
It's a specific exercise that's fun to train and fun to do ; and based on Koehler's forced fetch, in the Open Obedience book. If you haven't trained that way, probably you won't get anywhere with this book. It works. You get a dog that will start on a track and stay on it, even if it's crossed by more interesting scents ; and take it as engaging work. That said, I think Koehler didn't ...
