I started and finished A Sense of Direction in one evening; I couldn't really stop thinking about it, so I couldn't put it down. I found it...

For those who are frustrated by all the sex that has you annoyed at LKH and Anita Blake, you have to try this out! (I totally understand the whole ardeur and how all the sex relates so it doesn't annoy me.)
She's kick-ass tough but can cry over the loss of a friend. Dante, "Danny" is a necromance in Saintcrow's Saint City with a tatoo that marks her as such allowing her to walk freely about with her katana.
This is my first book in this world, from what I can tell her two previous books deal with psions and probably give more background in the world. This is a start of the "Dante Valentine" series and I'm looking forward to seeing how she does it.
Very cool to find out that Lilith Saintcrow lives across the river in Vancouver, WA! I'm looking forward to one of her Dante Valentine book signings at Powell's.
Kathy may have been doing dog training for 20+ years but she isn't staying current with what's happening in dog training. Sure she implies that she is using positive training because she's using food, but she's also telling people how to correctly leash pop their dog. Even with the food training she's using 'okay' as a release word which means that anytime that your dog hears this word in a conversation around it, it is ok for it to break from whatever behavior it was currently doing.
If you want a New Jersey dog trainer check out Pamela Dennison and her great books - The Complete Idiot's Guide to Positive Dog Training, How to Right a Dog Gone Wrong, Bringing Light to Shadow: A Dog Trainer's Diary. I would also highly recommend Pat Miller's Positive Perspectives: Love Your Dog, Train Your Dog, or The Power of Positive Dog Training.

Turid Rugaas gave us "On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming Signals" how dogs communicate with each other and with us. Brenda used 1000s of photos to give us lots of examples of these calming signals along with explanations of them.
The editing could have been better, but if you overlook this small flaw, it's a book well worth the money and should be on every dog trainer's bookshelf after well reading it. Owner's interested in learning how their dog communicates should have this book too!
My positive dog book group through YahooGroups - CSDogBookReview enjoyed Brenda's short visit with us in March 2006!

If you were thinking of adding a puppy to your household because you have kids in the house, get this book! It could save you from making a mistake about getting a puppy, possibly saving its life.
Pia and Lynn cover choosing a breed that fits your household, why you shouldn't get a puppy to teach the kids responsibility, what it's like having a puppy in the house, and how you'll have to always keep an eye on the puppy and kids whenever they are together.
Buy this book if you're a parent thinking about getting a puppy for your kids.
Buy this book if a friend has kids and is thinking of getting a puppy.
Buy this book if you *think* you might have kids in the future and want to prepare your dog(s) for their arrival.

The first edition was revolutionary but the 2nd takes it to a whole new level. This booklet has been totally revamped. More Calming Signals are explained/explored and with full color photos too. This is a must have for every dog owner and at a great affordable price. Dog trainers should be handing these out to their clients so that more people can understand what their dogs are communicating with them and other dogs.
So even if you already have a copy of the first edition, you're going to want this one too! It's better!
It will be great to 'talk' with Turid about this new edition when she joined us for another one of her whirlwind visits at YahooGroup CSDogBookReview April 18-21, 2006. She'll be back December 2007 for a full week, if you missed her last visit.
If you thought you'd like Brenda Aloff's Canine Body Language but the $39 price tag was scaring you, get this booklet!
