Control Unleashed

amjrchamberlain · 03-18-2009, 04:06 PM

I'm loving this book! It is by Leslie McDevitt.

I bought it just for general additional knowledge, but found that it really applies to the instances when Katie is working offleash and decides to go check out the environment (while we are in the ring). I am seeing good results with her already, by not competing with the environment and using it as a reinforcer instead. Lots of good stuff in there.

Adding if you can find a class based on the book it is well worth the time.

I just saw that they have a DVD out! Anyone watched it?

Does the book use clicker training?

Yes...or a verbal marker.

Is this book just for agility or could I use it to help my dogs be better offleash?

The book started as a result of responding to some needs of in agility classes, but it's applications can be applied in many situations - and preparing for and using some of the techniques with new puppies is one of the areas mentioned.

Appreciate the recommendation. My guy is 100 percent on leash and we are working to establish better control off leash. Hope the book helps.
