Fakta

Learn to love competing in obedience Most books on competitive obedience focus on the training and ring skills you need to be a winner with your dog in the ring—and that’s great. However if you find competing stressful or think you and your dog will not “succeed” against the “best” the key is defining success in a way that will make the sport enjoyable for you. Author Diana Kerew-Shaw takes on the subject of “how to find your fun” in It’s a Dog Not a Toaster, showing you how you can learn to enjoy the sport, even if your Basset Hound never comes close to a qualifying score.

You will learn about: • How to set goals that are meaningful and will work for you and your dog. • What it’s like to enter the “Land of Obedience” and become a member of the “Cult” which inhabits it. Hint: it’s fun! • What every newcomer to the sport needs to know to get started including information about Fun Matches, Show n Go’s, and obedience clubs. • How changes in the obedience world are making the sport accessible to more competitors including the development of Rally Obedience and the opportunities which now exist for mixed breeds.

What experts are saying about It’s a Dog Not a Toaster This book is a must read for everyone involved in dog obedience competition. Diana’s humorous writing style offers newcomers all the information they need, and those of us already competing are gently reminded why we love this sport. Connie Cleveland, Author of Dogs are Problem Solvers: Handlers Should Be

This book is a “Must Read” for all Novice A handlers and for anyone already training and showing dogs. Reading the book reminded me of all the mistakes I made as a Novice A trainer and handler, inspired me to work even harder at assisting Novice A handlers and once again reminded me of why we love the sport of obedience. Petra Ford is a top obedience competitor. Her Labrador Retriever, Tyler, has the distinction of being the 2008 and 2009 National Obedience Champion

Destined to become a permanent addition to every library, this book has it all. Those already involved in Obedience and Rally will recognize and appreciate the balanced overview of our sports. Those new to companion events will find this book to be an invaluable resource and give friends and family insight into why we become so wrapped in obedience. Deborah Neufeld, AKC and ASCA Obedience and Rally Judge

Diana provides an impressive insight into the world of competitive canine events. Her work reveals the impact dogs have on our lives and the influence trainers have on each other. Benevolent at times, forthright at others, this book exposes the vulnerabilities exhibitors face as they prepare to enter the ring and proceed through the advanced classes. Robert T. Self, Editor Front & Finish
