5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Those Just Learning About Dog Training, December 31, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: New Complete Dog Training Manual (Hardcover)

I purchased this book for my son (age 14) when he received a puppy for his birthday. It is fantastic. The steps of dog training are explained in a very simple manner with lots of pictures. Both he and I used the techniques described in the book to train the puppy (a Sheltie). Within a few weeks, the dog was able to sit, give us his paw and lie down on command. I am going to buy another copy of this book to give to my brother and his wife, who just purchased a puppy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Puppy Owner Who Needed a Refresher Course, April 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: New Complete Dog Training Manual (Hardcover)

I love this book! I borrowed several books from our public library on Dog Training after adding a new puppy to our household. I have always had dogs and don't consider myself as a 'beginner' dog owner. The information in Dr. Fogle's book is written in a clear, concise manner. Lots of pictures for reinforcment of instructions. Would be excellent for a first time dog owner! I read it cover to cover in one evening. That is something a busy mom of 4 can really appreciate! Some material I already knew, some I needed to be reminded of and some was completely new. I am going to purchase this book as a 'keeper'.

This review is from: New Complete Dog Training Manual (Hardcover)

I bought this book for my grandson 13yrs. old he read the entire book for a week before picking up his 8 week old puppy, within two weeks he bonded with his dog, house trained, and taught her to sit, stay, fetch, ly down, come, walk on a leash, all the time using the book as a guide and reference. His Lab. will be a very well mannered companion to him. On his own took the responsibility to find a vet, buy a kennel from lawn mowing earnings, the right dog food and toys etc. The book was far more valuable then the price.
