Has anybody read the book Purely Positive Training: Companion to Competition by Sheila Booth?

Just wondering if it's good like the reviews say it is.

Training the German Shepherd by John Cree

A bit old school in certain respects, but a lot of sound training advice in the book. Helped me a lot in the beginning.

Other books I like which have helped though more Schutzhund orientated (a lot can apply to Working Trials training, though you have to be selective:

Schutzhund Obedience: Training in Drive by Dieldei and Booth

Schutzhund: Theory and Training Methods by Barwig and Hilliard, though some methods in this book are harsher than I would be prepared to use e.g. the forced retrieve, so again you need to be selective.
