Thx! I've seen this book around but, hate buying books only to find out they're not worth their salt. Will check it out.

Do you all still recommend getting this book?

I like Brenda Negri's book too. Way of the Pack. Simple to read, great information. Not all breeds lend themselves to large pack formations (Anatolians like we have for instance) but otherwise, her advice in keeping enough LGDs to do the job is spot on. I also want to order a book she recommends about reading a dog's body language. It sounded really interesting too.

I open the book to this page and read the caption under the photo. Because that's how guys read books

You're hilarious! Actually I always start a book that way, and I may or may not read the last page too, before sitting down and seriously going through it.
