Sassie "Sassie", Scotland:

“Traditional dog training books show you how to push your dog into a sit, how to yank the leash to stop him pulling, and force him to do what he's told. Dima Yeremenko, founder of the highly-acclaimed Good Boy Dog School, presents a radically different approach in this groundbreaking book. It's about convincing your dog to act in a positive and pleasing manner by communicating with him - by learning to speak dog.

This is the claim on the fly-leaf of the book which captured my interest immediately! I tried and tested method, explained in a 5-step programme and all my problems solved. Enough to attract the attention of any dog owner/trainer.

This book took me completely by surprise, I had heard of Dima previously as his school is mentioned in a book by Trevor Grove - One Dog and His Man. However I hadn't heard that he had written a book on training. From the mention given by Trevor Grove I expected something slightly different but this book gave that and more. Highly recommended.

Dima writes as though he is conversing with a friend, the book is very reader-centred and holds your interest from page one. Although I felt that Dima knew what he was talking about, he didn't try to blind me with science, he explained things in detail and I felt that I could quite easily have picked up the phone and asked him a question - I felt I knew him and that he would be interested in my progress!”
