Incorporating TTouch and gentle fun ways to train your dog, its a bloody brilliant read, I'm loving it. Well worth the money, excellently laid out with fab illustrations and loads of great advice. Couldn't be without this book at the mo. Marie Miller (someone correct me if I'm wrong) was one of the founders of the APDT and she has co-written this book with Sarah.

I've already clicker trained Archie to do a lie down on the mat lol! I'd love to take him to the beach like they've illustrated with the weave poles etc, it just looks so lovely in the book, a nice warm summer evening, hmmm, how I miss those lovely hazy summer days :)

I'm trying to teach him to collect him toys and put them in his toy box, its a bit of an ongoing project. ;) :lol:

He was so photogenic for the TTouch stuff they thought they'd try some posing, and he did that so well they had the cheek to unstuff a pillow and made it look like he'd been chewing the sofa up! For all his problems, he's never been destructive - although he loves to unstuff toys. I think the shots they liked he had a 'who me?' expression - and fluff sticking out of his mouth! I wish I was able to get copies, even if they don't use them!

You should write and ask them for copies, wouldn't be too much of a biggy and it'd be a lovely to have professional photographs of Fred.

Also I am very proud to say that the very handsome GSD :wub: featured that belongs to Marie Miller is a Lizzies Barn dog :D
