Good, solid info.......2000-12-22
I like this book. It gives a slightly different perspective on caring, raising and training your Lab. Coode knows about the Labrador Retriever and share her toughts in an easy and understandable language. I like the point of view which is a bit different compared to the American point of view on topics like training and kennel maintenance. I do not believe it's a five stars book because of the pictures, they are all black and white, but they are all good though. Nice overview of influential kennels. I really like all the information this book offers. Recomended for Lab lovers, not for general public eventhough the info applies to many types of dogs.
Updated for the 80's and early 90's........1997-06-03
Carol Coode, a breeder of Labradors in Britain has produced a book that brings the reader up to date on the Labrador Retriever. At the time of publication, there was an approximate 10 year gap from the last breed book published. Ms. Coode provides an excellent overview of the dominant kennels breeding Labrador Retrievers in many countries. She also supplies chapters on the care and training of the Labrador Retriever

Customer Reviews:
A bit disappointing.......2002-10-18
I should have known not to order a book that lacks the 'look inside' feature, but Ortho books are usually very good. This book was disappointing (to me, at least) for the following reasons: too basic, not enough information, and it does NOT include photograghs of the finished landscapes. Mostly I just do not like the illustrations--fuzzy chalk drawings that are hard on the eyes and lack definition. Selected ideas for building fences, pergolas, etc. consist of simple line drawings and no detailed instructions. Sorry Ortho, I've seen better.
It's all there for you!.......2001-03-11
Ortho puts all the basic outlines in this book for us to find. How to get stared on drawing out your plans to scale. They explain how to use wind directions in your favor, and use existing landmarks and views to help the design process. With seven different specific property scenarios, your sure to find one similar to yours. I did, (Site Two: Older Home; Midtown Lot) and this book has helped me to draw a basic scetch of what I want my property to become.

From First Steps to Potty Training There is no greater fulfillment a parent can receive than the upturned face of a toddler, eyes speaking wonders and a face of confidence in discovering a brand new world with Mom and Dad.

He emerges into a period of life know affectionately as the Toddler Years. How ready are you for this new experience?The toddler years are the learning fields and you need a trustworthy guide to take you through the unfolding maze of your child's developing world. On Becoming Toddlerwise is a tool chest of workable strategies and ideas that multiplies your child's learning opportunities in a loving and nurturing way. This resource is as practical as it is informative.With over two million homes to their credit, trusted parenting authors Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam bring their collective wisdom, experience, and insights to bear on this critical phase of growth and development. From first steps to potty training made easy and everything in between, it is all here for you.
Customer Reviews:
This book is AWFUL! I threw mine away!.......2007-09-23
Toddler Wise was awful. I am an educator with a masters degree in Education, Counseling and Guidance and Educational Leadership! No wonder why our kids are out of control. This book in not in the best interest of the child and the book Baby Wise is WORSE!! I do not recommend this book to anyone.
A good guide to behavior and expectations.......2007-07-18
The "Babywise" series has truly helped me understand what to expect and how to deal with different issues that come up with raising a baby. I love the authors' philophies that a happy and healthy child comes from a strong and loving marriage. They also believe that we, as parents, are training our children to be positive members of society with self-control and ethics. Their parenting style isn't for everybody, but it has worked nicely for us so far, and so I expected the guidelines to follow suit in this book. "Toddlerwise" didn't disappoint, but the one thing it lacked was a section explaining how to achieve certain behaviors. For example, they believe in training your child to play independently, which I think is a very important skill. However, when they say to train your child to play in one place by themselves by laying out a blanket and having them play in that space for a certain number of minutes, I was left with the question, "What if they crawl/walk away?!" I guess you just try, try again, but I honestly was left asking the questions, "How" or "What if..." more so than I was with the first two books. Still, if you are a "Babywise" parent, you will get something out of "Toddlerwise."
BEWARE of Gary Ezzo!.......2007-07-07
Before buying this book do your research. Why choose a parenting book that is highly controversial when you could choose one of the many that is backed and endorsed by the medical and child development community without hesitation?
Gary Ezzo and his wife have no formal medical, theological or child development training. Gary Ezzo isn't even a real minister and does not have a theological degree. In fact, the Ezzo's own children and their spouses have formally and publicly severed ties with Gary and his wife. His books and his character have drawn wide concern and criticism. Ezzo claims his wife has pediatric nursing experience, however these claims have never been proven through her very limited and brief work history. Even reading his own website you will find absolutely no qualifications mentioned. These people have none. What business do they have writing parenting books?
You may or may not know that his books are the secular version of the religious parenting books he originally published called "Growing Kids God's Way" which have been rejected and raised alarm by many Christian organizations including Focus on the Family. Ezzo was excommunicated from 2 former churches and forced to leave a third. Christian and Secular experts alike have raised the alarm no Gary's philosophies. His "Babywise" books are self-published because his publisher, Multnomah, stopped publication and returned the rights to Gary due to the fact that they received much criticism from hundreds of pediatrician's, developmental specialists and lactation experts on the safety of the practices recommended in this book. The publisher was highly criticized due to the fact that there was no medical editor who reviewed the book and no peer or medical review of any of the supposed "research" Ezzo claims to have done, as most parenting and child development books have. Normally parenting books should also have extensive and varied works cited to support the recommendations. Babywise has two! Even those two have been shown to be misrepresented and misinterpreted. The parenting strategies described in Babywise and many statements and claims given are not backed up by medically proven facts or knowledge. In truth, many of his supposed facts are considered false by the medical community and have caused harm to innocent children when parents believe them to be true. When Ezzo himself has been asked to show research or medical data that supports his statements he informed his interviewer and the book's critics "...you will need to take the time to pull it together, if you are really interested."
Multnomah had to halt publication for fear they would be held liable for the harm done to the many children suffering from dehydration, failure to thrive and more as a result of reading "Babywise". It is almost unheard of for a book like this to be dropped by the publisher. Some parents may be confused by the fact that the newest edition of this book has a medical doctor's name, Robert Bucknam, attached to it. That is all it is. The text of the book is almost 100% identical to the previous editions and the basic PDF recommendations remain the same. Although Gary Ezzo has a habit of easily dismissing any criticism against him as false and untrue, he has been described by many who have known him as manipulative, dis-honest and egotistical. He is known in the Christian community for spreading false and hurtful rumors to harm the reputations of those who criticize him. He has had to change churches and business relationships many times and has obviously left many hurt people in his wake. Check out www.Ezzo.info, http://www.rickross.com/reference/gfi/gfi5.html and www.nospank.net/ezzo3.htm among other's for more information. I have been unable to find any expert who recommends or defends Ezzo and the only articles I've found that support him and Babywise are written by Gary Ezzo himself! Most interesting to me are the sad stories from parents who tried, even taught, Ezzo's methods and very much regret it now.
I have personally seen one of my friend's children become unhealthy and emotionally damaged from using this program. Not only that, but my friend was anything but peaceful and relaxed as a result of this parenting style. She was consumed by the constant schedule and worry to stay on schedule and go "by the book". I watched as her child cried and was ignored due to the child not following the schedule. I was also very sad to see her mother discourage everyone, even her grandparents, from holding her. She was visibly irritated when people wanted to hold the baby and the child was constantly in a carrier on the floor. By the age of one, her daughter already appeared to be lonely and have little bond with her mother. I've never seen such a young child look at her mother with clear disdain and anger. It was frightening. She rejected her mother's breast at an early age, which her mother was very sad about. I was quite shocked and confused at how my friend was raising her child. I knew her to be a loving, bright, educated, fun and highly capable person before having children. I knew this bizarre behavior was all stemming from this book. A few years later when I had my own children and was looking at parenting styles and books I did a little research on Babywise and was astounded at what I found. I was up all night in surprise and horror at the depth of harm this book has caused, and surprise at how many people have fallen under Ezzo's "spell". I have mentioned just a small portion of what I read and learned above. Please do your own research, too, before buying and following this book.
Thanks,
A Concerned Parent
Not for Me.......2007-06-06
I thought this would be exactly what I needed. It had a schedule with a list of things to do and follow, instructions if you will. After getting to know the little person my son has become over the last year and learning to trust my own instincts, I know will never be this regimented and harsh. I want my child to feel secure in making his own decisions and for him to have his own wishes and ideas.I want a book to not only say this is permissable but encouraged it. I just do not see how this books advice would help him develop his own cognative,leadership abilities or help his confidence. I would not want to be treated like this so why would I treat my child like this. I have to admit this is the exact opposite way I thought about child raising when I was pregnant and when I read the book. It may work for others and I mean no judgement to those who like this book; it just is not for me, and I like schedules! I found "The Confident Child: Raising Children to Believe in Themselves", "Parents Do Make a Difference: How to Raise Kids with Solid Character, Strong Minds, and Caring Hearts" and "The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two" and a couple of the Dr Sears books more helpful.
Child Training Is Ok Folks.......2007-03-23
It may not be your choice for how to raise your child, it may not be how your child responds... But folks, we are all different and one thing for certain, Christ taught us not to judge, lest we be judged... All families are different and there is NO NO NO ABUSE advocated in this book!
From a devout Dr. Sears, LLL, attachment parenting Mom--Reb Bradley and Rick Fugate are OK too. This is a method for a more structured family. It isn't for me, but as I say, I do advocate the Child Training Tips in Bradley's and Fugate's books, even for a far less structured mom.
Every family has a system... this may or may not be yours. It is an interesting and insightful read.
