I've just spent the last week working through happy dogs happy winners. A really good book with good explanations of what you're trying to achieve and why and how it all links together. Has given me a good idea as to what i should be doing over the next few weeks. Mainly it's taught me to slow down and just work on basics of positin and getting the want and watch sorted. Thanks for the recommendation. I too got a signed copy through amazon.
