All Dogs Great and Small: My Life Training Dogs (and Their Owners) by Graeme Hall

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
I'm a huge fan of Dogs Behaving Badly and was hoping for the essence of that in a book. 

Unfortunately I found this book to me more of a training manual for dogs and as I don't currently have one a lot of the content was lost on me. 

Sadly a DNF.
