Excellent advice

Loved all the useful info, disliked the voice though I’ve heard worse with some of the real voices

Failure to provide necessary tables/ figures referenced in book!

I really enjoyed the narration, useful content and book overall. However, I have one complaint and to me it is a huge one and that is the lack of any tables and or figures that are often referred to and in my opinion necessary to fully understand and be able to actually implement the most important aspects of the book and the training! Without the score sheets or other visual guides some important aspects of the information and book is useless. Very frustrating! And yes I tried finding it elsewhere online and only found pieces of it and don't feel I or any paying consumer should have to do so when purchasing a book and other books I've purchased through Audible for this same topic have always included any tables, figures, or charts that are referenced within the book.

Excellent teaching of the basics.

I don’t have a dog, but listened to this in
anticipation of buying a dog in the near future. This covered the early training and necessities there wonderfully. There is a bit of a strange anti-vaccination/holistic medicine undertone throughout the book; not knowing much about veterinary medicine, I will take those portions with a grain of salt.

never know this before

very informative. new terminology for equipment not explained without books photos. I slow so I will listen again.

Unreliable

Reasonable advice was mixed with unscientific debunked ideas, like hurting the dog or even a puppy to train it, using adversive methods like shock and choke collars etc. These old-fashioned and dangerous ideas throw doubt on the rest of the book.
