U.S. Military Working Dog Training Handbook

I found this book interesting and very useful if you have a working dog. I implemented most everything and it was useful and my dog responded well. Be patient with your dog though things taught take time. Would recommend. I have a female Belgiun Mal/ German Sheppard mix, she responded really well.

I have never written a review before but this book warrants a review because it is so much better than any other dog training/care book I have ever read( and as a certified dog trainer, I have read and studied dozens). This book has EVERYTHING any person needs to care for and train any dog but particularly a high drive dog like the Malinois. I feel like now I can throw ALL the other dog books away and just read this one!!! A superb, fantastic, well written book with clear step by step instructions on not only how to train but also detailed information about why the particular training works so well. This is book is absolutely required for any dog owner or trainer; it is absolutely necessary for any serious dog lover. How the military produced this kind of superb writing is incomprehensible; but they did and every dog lover should be very, very thankful.

Good read.

If you need more than how to get Fido to sit; and learn about Animal First Aid, and many things not in other books; this is the book to get. Many new commands for active handlers, many things are common sense some are not. Kind of dry reading but if you are into training like I am; this is the book for you...

I got this book in the hopes it would have some instruction that I could use to train my Labrador Retriever. Unfortunately, it's more of an outline of steps or list of go/no-go training that military dog handlers must master. When it does have training steps or descriptions, the information is very brief. It does have a good section on first aid, but again, the information is very brief. If you're looking for a "how-to" manual, you'll probably want to pass on this one.

I really appreciated this book. I had a trainer tell me about it and I read it in a few days. The first aid part is good info to know for sure. But they go in depth about training methods that you can mix and match to fit your dog's learning style. Very helpful.

This is an outstanding and knowledgable asset to have for those who keep their pets active every day or every other day, rather than let the poor animal just go on a walk or a traditional trip to the park. That's like a nursing home but for dogs. Teaches how to properly examin your dog and read signs to better understand behavior and health status.

I have a Chessie...and I wish I had a training center like these dogs do...she would excel. She can jump 8 ft straight up...like a spring...no climbing just up she goes. She can chase deer just like them...hop, hop and fly and nip the buck in the rump...in the front. If she sees that she missed corraling some up...she does a pivot 6 ft in the air...a 180 degree and get the 3 that she missed. She runs like a thoroughbred race horse...front legs straight out...not bent and all power in her rear legs...I am amazed when I watch her do that ground eating stride...she is beautiful. I have tried some of these exercises...and I wish that the county would develop one for public...and charge a fee. One time the K-9 dogs had a training area here...and I used it with my Lab...but they have moved it to Ft. Worth...so I am told. Chesapeakes are working dogs...and she loves to work hard. Thank you.

Very informative! Well narrated!

Pretty complete it seems and outlines plenty of seemingly good theory. Thanks

Great training book

I love it !!!

Good buy
