My review of Shaping Success by Susan Garrett
When Mum got my sis, Gracie, she needed something to help her be not only the best dog she could be, but help her learn agility from the ground up!
And she found just the book - Shaping Success by Susan Garrett. It includes a wealth of information from puppy basics, to games for building focus and motivation, to training reliable contacts and weaves.
It's really helped Gracie and Mum in their agility training and we highly recommend this book!

"Written by one of the world's best dog trainers, Shaping Success gives an excellent explanation of the theory behind animal learning. Buzzy's story both entertains and demonstrates how to apply some of the most up-to-date dog training methods in the real world." -Greg Derrett, Twice Great Britain's Agility Handler of the Year

"Susan Garrett's training program is an elegant demonstration of errorless learning. She puts sound learning theory into practice." -Pam Reid, Ph.D., Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, Director ASPCA Animal Behavior Center
