Find the reward that your dog likes best, then use it.  The author stresses that premise throughout this short book, and comes up with some interesting examples to assist in that goal.I like that she was truthful about the difficulties she experienced with one of her dogs, and I think that it's great that she refused to give up on her pet.  This kind of information shared with the reader might help those who are tempted to give up on their pets, blaming the animal instead of their own training techniques.  Pets, after all, are lifetime commitments--not disposable items.However, I was hoping for more detailed and varied training tools, as the reward theme seems a little elementary, although necessary.  Well written and concise, but rather repetitive.  I would have liked a longer book with more problem scenarios.
