Book Description

New Secrets of Successful Show Dog Handling is the definitive book on the sport of exhibiting purebred dogs. From early training to ring strategy and promoting a special dog, this comprehensive, illustrated guide reveals the actual practices, procedures and etiquette involved in showing.

• What dog shows are all about • Early show training • Setting up your dog • Baiting • Ring procedures • Conditioning • Presentation and ring strategy • Tricks of the trade • The secret formula for success • Publicizing your dog.

Gems From The Book: *Handling is the art of making dogs look their absolute best! *Handlers must convey a positive attitude: Those who doubt their ability to win are rarely mistaken. *A person who has never failed has failed to extend himself. *Subtlety can mean the difference between superior and merely adequate handling.

Not what I was Looking for.......2007-06-06

This book would be helpful for anyone beginning showing dogs. They really needn't know anything. If you already know what a show is, how to enter and have been in the ring before, you're probably not going to get much out of this. I have a few books on showing that far outwiegh this one. It's basic, simple and for complete novices only...It is written well, and is easy to understand. If this is to be your first book on dog showing, then it will provide you with enough info to get you started. I preferred, The Winning Edge: Show Ring Secrets (Howell Reference Books) and Tricks of the Trade: From Best Intentions to Best in Show, Revised Edition

Very well done!.......2007-02-21

Great book for the learning dog handler. Combine it with a book like "Eye For a Dog" and you are on your way to understanding America's second longest running sport (next to horse racing).

New Secrets of Successful Show Dog Handling by Peter Green.......2006-12-08

Excellent.......2003-10-15

This is the first show book I read. It was also a previous edition. When I finished the book I searched until I found an updated version and bought it right away. Even the old book was a bounty of information. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is beginning in the show ring. It's easy to read with a lot of really great pointers that still apply today. I read the whole thing!
