 Great Book January 10, 2007
P. Markarian (Upstate New York)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book was an easy read and I read it in a couple of hours. It had great information that I have found very useful with my 16 week old puppy. I have learned that I need to be more patient and understand that some dogs will take a little longer to come around but it is a worth while endeavor. I have seen results with my pooch over the past week or so but it takes time, patience, and a full commitment to training your pooch to be well behave and an active member of your family. This book is not a quick fix but an aid to help you understand what has to be done to bring up a happy well adjusted pooch. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about getting a dog or who is serious about training their dog to be productive and not destructive.
 I don't advocate jerking a choke collar so wasn't impressed July 2, 2002

I really liked the format of this book and how it breaks up the reasons why a dog could be misbehaving. However, I'm not one to advocate jerking a choke collar because I believe there are less violent methods of correction--they do indicate hitting is bad. A better read would be Catch Your Dog Doing Something Right, or Reading the Dog's Mind, or any Stanley Coren book.

This dog is a very loveable dog But all she wants to do is chew every thing. she knows she does wrong. But cant break of this habit. It is a rotweiler an a liottle over a year old?
indispensable guide for all breeds and all problems January 9, 1999
This text helps you identify your dogs personality type and then work on specific problems according to his/her needs. This book emphasizes reconditioning as well as introductory training. It makes use of various tools such as the choke collar, shake can, and lead. I have had good success with this book with cocker spaniels to great danes. I have had timid to aggressive dogs. These tips for reconditioning focus on on-lead techniques but not exclusively. The topics in this book that I have used are: housebreaking, barking, biting, fence fighting, and carpography. This text is the one that I refer to over and over again throughout my dogs lives. When you have 3 great danes that are siblings raised entirely without a mother to guide them, you need help to guide you and this book has it all.
