A must read for all dog owners, Labradorian or otherwise!

I recommend this book to all dog owners, regardless of breed. For those Labradorially inclined, the breed-specific information is invaluable, honest, and detailed. For Labradorians and all other dog owners, the behavior and training sections are some of the best I've read. This book is comprehensible and comprehensive.The layout and writing style make the information extremely accessible. The information itself is extremely detailed and important to all dog owners. Joel and Eve have succeeded in explaining the secrets of making a good dog into a great dog, through management and training. It's no surprise this book is so popular. Not only is it about one of the most wonderful and popular breeds of dog today, but it is chock full of information vital to dog owners of any breed.In my capacity as a professional dog trainer, I have had occasion to work with puppy owners who have read this book, and I have to say "What a difference a book makes"--this book! Owners who have read this book understand how their dogs' minds work, and grasp what I have to teach them about training and problem solving that much easier. Thank you, Joel and Eve, for helping me do my job better!

Great book!

I am thirteen and have read a lot of books on Labs, but none compare to this! It is very easy to read and gives a whole lot of information. I would definitely recommend it to readers of all ages.

An excellent reference for any lab owner.

Any Labradorian would find this an exceptional book written with humor and fun-loving training techniques. It is the perfect gift for anyone thinking of being owned and loved by a labrador retriever.

Wonderful!

This book is wonderful. Certainly the best Labrador book on the market AND, one of the best dog books on the market. This is the book to buy! Your dog will love you for it.

The best book for Labrador owners that I have ever seen!

I have been owned by Labrador Retrievers for ten years and I have LOTS of books on the subject. This book is by far the best for pet owners. I wish every breeder would give a copy with every puppy they sell! There would be far fewer Labs in shelters if every owner would read this book.
