- Good pamplet for the clueless
This pamphlet has 12 briefly explained points on how to be the leader of your dog. Most of them are obvious. Actually there wasn't a single thing in this pamphlet that taught me something new. You can learn all of this through a google search of NILF (nothing in life is free). Some of the tips are: don't alpha roll your dog, initiate play and end it, teach your dog to heel, don't let your dog demand attention. Most people know these things, I think? I knew the pamphlet was short but I thought it would have some insightful tips and commentary, but nope. This may be worth 50 cents, but not 4 bucks.

- Dogs really are a different species
This book is a great one to read in order to try to understand the reasons WHY dogs are having their issues. Watching the dogs behavior after reading this book makes their behavior make much more sense.

I have recommended it to several of my friends who have aggressive dogs.

- How to be leader of the pack, Patricia McConnell PhD
Excellent and extremely helpful book in understanding humane, positive dog training. Couldn't recommend this enough. In fact, I recommend ALL her books, especially For The Love of A Dog, and The Other End of The Leash.
