As the owner of two obsessive but outstanding herding dog, I found myself nodding along in agreement with this book from start to finish. Dawn offers tips to allow a handler to work with, rather than against a dog's herding instincts and her easy-to-read writing style and the depth of information she shares makes this book a must read for anyone... -- Nicole Larocco-Skeehan, "CPDT-KA and member of the Board of Directors, CCPDT"
