2.0 out of 5 stars this book is not for the never owned a dog,new dog owner., October 12, 1999

This review is from: Training a Dog to Live in Your Home: Covering Housebreaking, Chewing, Behavior Modification, Miscellaneous Dog Problems (Paperback)

While the author's approach is very no-nonsense, the book had no flow, examples of specific behavior problems where scattered throughout, and some sections did not even have a complete solution. the author is writing this for experienced dog owners. Of course most refrences were to puppies, and I did not agree that these methods work with older dogs.. very confusing book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for every dog owner. Common sense dog training., December 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Training a Dog to Live in Your Home: Covering Housebreaking, Chewing, Behavior Modification, Miscellaneous Dog Problems (Paperback)

As a former dog owner considering getting a new canine friend, I was very impressed with this book. The author's approach is extremely no-nonsense and focussed on effective training techniques. The book is highly readable and both I and my wife read the book in less than hour each. Compared to this book, most of the other books on dog-training that I have read pale, and seem outdated in their methodology.

I was looking for his second follow-up book but could not find it.
