About DogEvals

Welcome to DogEvals! 

DogEvals is a compilation of (mostly dog) book, magazine and DVD reviews; product evaluations; blogs and articles; training course and seminar reviews; and more. We also spotlight dog-related companies.

Have you ever wondered just which training book to buy or which harness to purchase? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? How do they compare? Is the price worth it? 

Our goal is to provide you with real-life, real-world information so you don't waste time and money researching the product yourself.

Tell us what you want to know, so we can save you valuable dog-time!

Skye Anderson has been reviewing (mostly dog) books since 2004 for a regional dog publication as well as an international educational organization, independent bookstores, authors, publishers, and newsletters. Books are obtained from publishers, authors, libraries and bookstores. Products are purchased or received gratis. Books and products are often then donated to rescues and shelters.
