5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for dog owners and trainers, June 13, 1999

dogs@inch.com Robin Kovary (New York City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dog Behavior and Training (Hardcover)

This user-friendly book offers both dog owners and trainers substantial information on understanding dog behavior. There is also a good chapter which covers how to teach one's puppy or dog a number of basic obedience commands, and which offers some great practical tips for dog owners who are looking for a humane method of controlling their dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pet-owner oriented reference book, May 26, 2009

petshrink (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Dog Behavior and Training (Hardcover)

Still among the best pet-owner-friendly references on dog behavior and training available. Weak on Separation anxiety information but otherwise contains helpful information on most common behavior problems (and preventing problems) in dogs. Great pictures and easy read.
