Lucky Dog Lessons: From Renowned Expert Dog Trainer and Host of Lucky Dog: Reunions Paperback – October 2, 2018

I love Brandon’s technique in his show and decided to train my pups in the same manner. It’s still a work in progress but I believe I can get there. One dog at a time 😊

Good book a lot of help for dog training.

For anyone who needs help training their dog in a kind way. Also anyone who loves rescue animals and stories about saving them. The show Lucky Dog was recommended to me by one of my Hero's, a person who helps people and shelter dogs. I was struggling to train my own puppy who I had gotten from a local rescue. I really like the show but prefer a book in situations like this. When I went on Amazon I found this book. It has helped me tremendously. I give Brandon McMillan credit for allowing me to keep my fur baby when I had all but given up. In addition to an easy to understand and apply training program this book is filled with great stories. Some of theses tales made me laugh and others caused genuine tears of joy. My puppy is almost three and I have read this book so many times I have lost count because I always enjoy it and get something different out of it each time.

I actually bought this book for my niece who just bought a dog recently. I did not read the book, however, I have watched this author's TV shows. He is very instructive, and gives great, simple lessons. If you get a chance to watch the show called lucky dog, give it a look. Very, very informative.

I have about 20 of these on hand to share with my clients who get new pups. I have a pet sitting business and my clients really appreciate receiving a copy of this book

Concise, to the point and effective. Whether you adopt a puppy or a needy shelter adult dog, these lessons mark your life and your pups life, much easier. What a delightful writing style!

We've seen his shows, loved them and saw this book. It was a perfect way for me to reference ba k to what he teaches. We have a female lab/Shepard puppy (now 10 months old). I already started training her on my own but wanted to check on how I was doing and also wanted to find proper hand signs. I was happy to see I was very close. I got the sit, stay, off, and no exactly. I'm very surprised how many people say down instead of off to get off firniture or people. Other commands I used were close and plan to change. My heel was more of the come as well as walking beside us, which I will change so I can use the heel properly. I was saying lay down for down and plan use down to make it less complicated. I use stay when we go out the door or exit the car. I think I will change that to wait which she knows for to wait befor Taking food. She already knows ok. I will say we are very lucky to have a very smart and loving dog. She loves to learn, play, and cuddle. Even at 58lbs.

I love the show and so I bought the book. The book has lots of stories about real dogs he's trained over the years and it goes into great detail about training methods. Gives a lot of options depending on whether you have a small dog or large dog, which is a plus and not something I'd seen in other dog training info. It is a lot of reading. It's not just a simple picture book with brief instructions. He goes into great detail, which is good, but it does require a lot of reading time to get thru.My biggest complaint is that most of his sollutions require the purchase of some kind of dog training equipment. Everything from a clicker, to a shake can, to a leading lure, to certain types of collars, harnesses and leashes. Frankly, I just want to train my puppy in basic commands and do away with a few annoying bad habits (jumping, and biting hands) I don't want to have to gear up like a professional dog trainer and buy a bunch of stuff that I won't need in a few weeks time. If I have to buy all this gear to properly train my dog, I will just enroll him for professional dog training and be done with it.So keep in mind, these techniques are good and will no doubt work, IF you have the time, the commitment and are willing to invest in training equipment.
