Buy this book before the dog!,
By
This review is from: 25 Stupid Mistakes Dog Owners Make (Paperback)
This book isn't just about training a dog; it's about sharing your life with one. Janine Adams uses a great mix of personal experience and advice from various experts to create this fun, common sense approach to having a dog in your life. The information is well thought out and organized, creating a book that is interesting to read cover-to-cover and easy to use for later reference. Each of the 25 chapters deals with a different aspect of living with a happy, healthy dog. Topics range from choosing the right dog, to the benefits of exercise and socialization, and traveling together. It also includes the latest information on training, nutrition and health. While this book is perfect for someone considering adding a dog to the family, there is also plenty of good information for the more seasoned dog person.

25 Stupid Mistakes Dog Owners Make,
By Sundogs3 "Diane" (Hendersonville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 25 Stupid Mistakes Dog Owners Make (Paperback)
Anyone who may ever encounter a dog should read this book. Everyone should. Janine Adams brings up issues often ignored by many first-time dog owners, and reminds long-time dog owners that there are many ways to handle dogs and their problems, some more effective than others, and some more radical than others. Ms. Adams' writing is refreshingly clear and open, and she touches on just about all the issues from housebreaking and puppyhood to letting go in the end, and everything in-between. This is an easy-to-read book that can serve as simple reference for everyone. You can read it straight through, or in a few sittings, or you can refer to a chapter at a time as you see fit. You should read this book. Your dog will thank you. Everyone should read this book, it's really that good!

4.0 out of 5 stars
... good, effective book on basic trouble shooting ...,
By
This review is from: 25 Stupid Mistakes Dog Owners Make (Paperback)
The author draws on her own experience with 2 poodles ... as well, as the training & trouble solving methods of other trainers ... this approach alone makes the book rather unusual and refreshing ... too many writers believe that theirs is the best or only way ...Contains sound sensible advice, adopts gentle training methods ... with interesting chapters on dog nutrition and medication/inoculations that take an alternative (holistic?) approach ... worth considering ... Oh ... and don't let the number `25' fool you ... the author covers almost all the issues commonly faced by dog owners everywhere ... This book is very clearly written, well organinsed and makes for easy reading ... useful for all dog owners ... very good for first time dog owners ...
