Here are some book reviews from hound people you know!!

"......without a doubt the most informative book on training coon dogs I have seen. If you have been hunting 25 years or just starting you should own a copy."

                                                            --Lee Weatherford, Hineston, Louisian

"It will prove to be an excellent resource for all dog lovers, new and old...great job on the book. It looks not a word less than I’ve come to expect from Vickie Lamb."             

---Kelly Haynes, Red Sunset Kennels

 "It is an excellent book that covers areas never before touched on and it has found a home in my library."                                         

            ---Larry Atherton, Bittersweet Kennels, Clio, Michigan        

"Vickie’s book is the kind of book that anyone can benefit from, old-timers and newcomers alike. And it is enjoyable to read. [This book] is destined to become a classic."

                             ---David W. Fletcher, Fletcher’s Kennel, Emory, TX

"...Over the years Vickie has mastered the art of writing on a level we all can relate to and understand well...This [book] is a huge step up from anything you have ever seen in the hound world; it is a ‘must read’ for any serious houndsman."

                             ---Jerry Moll, Salt Creek Coonhounds, Batesville, Indiana   

"Vickie Lamb has gone where no one in our sport has gone before in terms of awakening the desire within each of us to handle well-trained hounds for competition or pleasure hunting...She builds her case that anyone, you and me included, can train a dog and she covers the full range of methods, old and new, comfortable and extreme, with the clarity of an educator and the confidence of a professional, both of which she is."

                   ---Steve Fielder, Editor Prohound, Senior Vice-President, PKC

 "...it is one of the best hound training books that I have ever read. The thing that I like most about Vickie’s book is that she gets right to the ‘meat’ and isn't always saying "In the next chapter I'm going to tell you..." without actually saying anything. It is easy to read and comprehend; I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys hound related books."
