5.0 out of 5 stars
Keep your man on a short leash, June 29, 2000
This review is from: How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days or Less Using the Secrets of Professional Dog Trainers (Hardcover)
If you want a serious self help book to help you over a break up, this isn't it.
If you want to seriously laugh your hiney off, nab this book!
I got this book as a gift, after a particularly nasty break up had left me quite down in the dumps. I read it, and laughed myself silly!
With slick artwork, and smart and funny one liners, this book is a total joy for anyone who's had man problems. The comparisons of men to dogs is so uncanny it's truly funny.
My favorite? The bit where it quips: "if your dog runs away, do not chase after it, it will only make him run faster, instead, dangle a colorful plaything in his face, he will come running back". The illustration to this one liner is a woman dangling a colorful piece of lingerie in a man's face.
As I said, serious self help it's not, but you know what they say, laugher is the best medicine. Read this book, especially with a best girlfriend, laugh yourself silly, and cheer up.
Men are like buses, another will be by in fifteen minutes.

COME ON, GUYS (and gals), LIGHTEN UP!, December 18, 2002
This review is from: How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days or Less Using the Secrets of Professional Dog Trainers (Hardcover)
This book is a wonderful dramatization of all that Mars/Venus, battle-of-the-sexes, alleged-hopelessness-of-relationships stuff. Read it, laugh, maybe get just a tiny bit more insight into this stuff, and whatever you do, don't take it too seriously. Ever heard of stand-up comedy? Well, this is a stand-up book.

Love it or Hate it, January 3, 2003
This review is from: How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days or Less Using the Secrets of Professional Dog Trainers (Hardcover)
This is one of those books you either love or hate. It has a very dry humor. I happen to love that. I read this with my hubby and we had a great time. We really enjoyed the section that talks about not running after your dog.
My husband says that is true! Although Ms. Salmansohn described it in a humorous way.
My hats off to the author for being brave enough to put this out there. Looks like she's gotten a lot of tough criticism but then again they say that any exposure is good for book sales, so you go girl!
