5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Easy To Understand, February 21, 2000

Rita Roberts - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dog-Friendly Dog Training (Howell Reference Books) (Paperback)

This book saved me a lot of head aches and money. I've tried many dog behavior classes and was at the end of my rope. I now have better control over my dog's behavior and can manage him without screaming at him. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants an easy to understand dog training manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Educational and Helpful!, February 20, 2000

This review is from: Dog-Friendly Dog Training (Howell Reference Books) (Paperback)

I can not begin to describe how helpful this book was to me. Being the owner of an extremely difficult and what I thought was an unmanageable dog, I had almost lost hope. It was quite a relief when I learned that I didn't have to be harsh when teaching my dog basic manners. Many thanks to the author!
