Paul Loeb is brilliant. Understand that I grew up in an animal training family. We trained show horses, working horses (cutters and ropers), hunting dogs (pointers and retrievers) as wells as Dobermans trained for schutzhund. After growing up in this environment I must say that I learned more from the writing of Paul Loeb than I did in all the years before.

Mr. Loeb (no relation) is right-on. His book helped me train a miniature dachshund (as a retriever and field trained) that impressed the heck out of my father who was quite an accomplished animal trainer as well as many of his colleagues. Paul is the original "dog whisperer."

As far as I am concerned, Paul has earned my respect and I recommend his methods wholeheartedly.

I used the training method in the book by Mr Loeb and had great success with my Bichon. I love the fact that I never needed to strike my dog and all he knows when I reach for him is LOVE! He was house trained at 14 weeks (I got him at 8 wks)and I can trust him explicitally.

There is no reason in the world to resort to these kinds of tactics to train your dog -- even the independent breeds. I'm appalled.

I am a dog behaviorist but I love to collect old breed and training books. The other day I came across this book and browsed through it. I could not believe the crap in this book, tabasco on your dogs gums for soiling in the house? Slap him real hard so that he knows he did wrong? Put vinegar on his nose so that he knows it is your house and not his? Time we educate the public with some kind and intelligent ways to train our dogs.
