  • You need this
I would actually give it a 4.5 only because I had hoped it would contain more blueprint-type details. It's an outstanding overall book about kennels in general and the most important thing to me is that the author really puts dogs first and all his recommendations are based on how certain behaviors make the dogs feel, which is also the most important thing to me. ... show more

  • Learning Kennel Basics
This book was a delight to read, was easy to follow, and added humor to a topic that can be harrowing to all but the stought-hearted. I would have wished for more detailed pictures, but one can't have everything. This book is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to build habitats for all kind of animals. The processes in this book follow sound, ethical, and humane animal husbandry practices. ... show more
