1.0 out of 5 stars Abusive methods, November 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Training Tips for Your Dog: Learn the Experts Way to a Happy Well-behaved Pet (Paperback)

I skimmed this book in a bookstore and it brought tears to my eyes.

This book advocates abusive training methods. I was appalled at the horrible suggestions.

I wish there was a 'zero stars' rating.

Try Good Owners, Great Dogs or The Dog Whisperer instead.

This book is the exact opposite approach taken by most trainers today. I don't approve of the methods suggested for corrections. There are many better, positive method training book available.

This review is from: 101 Training Tips for Your Dog: Learn the Experts Way to a Happy Well-behaved Pet (Paperback)

What an appalling book! You should never, ever hit your dog. If your dog has a problem that serious, you should consult a professional trainer -- not listen to a book written by a woman whose training ideas are from the 1950s. These methods could also seriously injure or emotionally traumatize a small or sensitive dog.

Hitting, choking and slapping haven't been used by intelligent trainers for decades. There are other, gentler ways (like leash corrections or clicker training) of getting your dog to behave.
