Editorial Review:
OK. You're dog doesn't live to please you. There, we've said it. Contrary to what you've always heard, not all dogs want to earn their owner's approval. Sometimes they seem as if they could not care less. But this is no secret to you -- you know your dog's not Lassie.
With this book you will come to understand and appreciate that for hundreds of years dogs were bred for qualities like independence, dominance and determination. While these traits make dogs excellent hunters, trackers and fighters, they can make day-to-day living with your pet a real challenge.
Betty Fisher and Suzanne Delzio will teach you how to employ or overcome the traits that make your dog difficult to train. They will show how to use body language, food, voice, training structure and style to convince your stubborn dog to do what you ask. Without force, you can turn your difficult dog into a perfect pet, or even a successful show dog.

Rating:  - So your dog's not Lassie
This book follows a similar training regimen and philosophy as the course my dog & I were just enrolled in locally. I purchased the book as a reminder and reinforcement to the training techniques "we" had learned in the class.
Rating:  - Excellent
This is a very good book for dogs who are stubborn and really don't have too much drive.
Rating:  - So your dog's not lassie
This book has some good insights into independent breeds that will be helpful to new dog owners or those thinking of getting a dog. However, I do wish that the author provided more detailed steps related to actually training dogs, rather than anecdotal tips.
Rating: - So Your Dog's Not Lassie: Tips for Training Difficult Dogs and Independent Breeds
I enjoyed reading this book about how to train the independent, lovable dogs that many owners own, and then come to my obedience class bewildered and frustrated on how to train to do even basic obedience commands. This book emphasized how to positively train dogs of any breed or temperment.
This was an easy read and not so much about theory about dog behavior, just great tips on how to get your dogs to be the great dog that you want them to be for everyday life and competition.
Rating: - Best book for the dog with her own agenda!
This is a great book. I have several dogs, and the techniques for training work on them all. However, it is great for my independent pup, a Dogue de Bordeaux.
She was always interested in something else, shutting down when she had enough. Which she will still do, but now I have a way to impart information in a manner she learns while still keeping training sessions short enough to keep her interest!
