This is the best dog training book I have read, by far. Pat Miller writes in a way that allows you to know exactly what to do, when to do it, and why you are doing it.
More enjoyment and better results is what I got from this excellent book.

Pat Miller is a well-respected trainer who is known for training both owners and other trainers. She uses modern, gentle, scientifically proven methods, which is what you will find in this book. The book is well-written, and organized in a way that gives the average dog owner a good introduction to positive training. As a fellow author, I appreciate Pat's clear, specific instructions. As a fellow dog trainer, this is one of the books I recommend to my clients to read for additional guidance. Brava, Pat! - Nicole Wilde, author So You Want to be a Dog Trainer (2nd edition) and Help for Your Fearful Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide to Helping Your Dog Conquer His Fears

This is a great guide for the beginner; either the guardian of a pet dog or someone starting out wanting knowledge of dog training. Simply written, understandable, positive. A great guide to get you started.

Pat Millers, "The Power of Positive Dog Training" is quite possibly the most recommended and lent out book on my shelf. I come from a different background than a lot of the reviewers, I do not own a dog training academy or raise many dogs. I own one Boston Terrier. I purchased Miller's book prior to his arrival in my home and I have never been let down. Millers book is interesting, descriptive, and concise. I look to it often to solve little problems in curving behavior or to get ideas for new tricks. I began with her methods on day one when he was nine weeks old, potty and crate training. I can now say that I have one of the best behaved dogs that I know. He knows many of the commands and tricks in the book (plus some.) The best ones are not the amazing ones, but the ones that go unnoticed. Potty training, Leash training, Stop, Come, Stay, and Heel are big ones. I chose this book because I choose to reinforce the good behavior and do not believe in hitting my dog. Everything that Miller states made sense to me, and it is for that reason that I chose to raise him via her methods. A friend just got a new puppy. My first recommendation...
