Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"I'm a dog fanatic, read everything I can find on dog behavior, and this book is terrific! It was a great reminder of all those other times I can be naturally shaping my two dogs' behavior without their even knowing they're behaving perfectly. The illustrations are fun and funny. And the methods are clearly spelled out — how to do them, why they work, how they make the doggie-human bond a more loving one." — Amy Tan, author of  The Joy Luck Club, The Hundred Secret Senses and The Kitchen God's Wife

"Andrea Arden is to be congratulated on this wonderful book on dog training (and I'm sure that dogs everywhere would agree). Her approach is humane, user-friendly, dog-friendly and guaranteed to produce the desired results. A must-read for owners." — Dr. Nicholas Dodman, author of The Dog Who Loved Too Much and Dogs Behaving Badly

"Dog-Friendly Dog Training will make you your dog's best friend. Use Andrea's training methods and you'll soon find your dog wanting to work for you. It provides easily understood information on dog training with a strong emphasis on the positive. She makes training so simple that a child can easily train the family pet. If dogs carried cash, I guarantee you they'd be buying copies for the humans they live with." —Wayne Hunthausen, DVM, director of Animal Behavior Consultations. Co-author of  The Handbook of Behavior Problems of the Dog and Cat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Easy To Understand, February 21, 2000
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
By Laura A.Falter (New York, NY.) - See all my reviews
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!
