 great book April 13, 2007

This book is excellent, it taught me things I never knew about raising a puppy, let alone a German shepard. I still have this book, and every now and then go back to it. It made raising my dog much easier. The more she learned, the more I wanted to teach her, which makes raising her so much more fun.

The book was very informative. There were many ideas I used with my puppy. I will continue to use the book as my puppy gets older and in an adult

I ordered this book for my niece who recently welcomed a new puppy into her house. I read the book myself 3 years ago when I was in a similar situation. I read it before the puppy came home and being an educated owner has made him a much better dog. He is a well behaved and socially acceptable dog; thanks to the knowledge I have from the book. The book was a major help in all stages of his growth and gave me an understanding that I never had with 4 previous dogs I raised. This book is a tremendous help and I would recommend it to everyone with a new puppy - even if you have previously raised dogs. It helps to read it before you get a dog since you are then well prepared.
Excellent March 9, 2007

An intriguing new angle to a popular subject... it reminds me of another favorite, "Adam's Task: Calling Animals by Name," by Vicki Hearne, which also focuses on really understanding your pet. It combines animal training with philosophy and literary criticism. The Atlantic Monthly called it "A fascinating and often surprising discussion of animal-human encounters." If you are an animal trainer-- or even just an animal lover--it's definitely worth checking out.
A must read! February 9, 2007

Everyone should read this book before they get a puppy. It is extremely informative on starting off on the right track with a new puppy. It is a easy read with very simple instructions on getting the best from your new friend and having a well trained dog for life. I know first hand how much easier it is to have trained the pup right from the start rather than trying to correct and break bad habits already formed in a dog. They teach you to see through the eyes and habits of dogs, not people. Many people think of their dog as a person, which is not true. You must be able to teach your dog in their own language and this book does just that. You will not be dissapointed with this book.
