One of the best books I have seen on the market in recent years. With great images and easy to follow principles/training tips, it’s a book the whole family will find hard to put down. The only sad thing is that the puppy can’t read it!!

Philippa Gilbert

Janet Menzies is a professional author and journalist who works and competes spaniels, so you can feel good knowing that she really knows what she is talking about. If you are thinking of getting a puppy or know someone who is getting a new little four padded wonder, I’d grab this book in a hurry. It’s fun to read with simple steps that anyone can understand and the results work!
