Want to housetrain your dog quickly with few (or NO) accidents? Of course! This book will really help -- it points the way to the best method of housebreaking. This book gives a very detailed understanding of what to do and why. Addresses various factors which may differ from situation to situation -- such as small vs. large dog, puppy vs. adult, city vs. country, etc. Highly recommended, even if you've housetrained other dogs.

Another great book by Patricia Mcconnell and Karen London: Just full of great tidbits on housetraining your dog. My 3yr old Havanese had a relapse after some big changes in our household and this book was just what I needed to read to help get her back on track. It also helped me to realize how "modest" she is (she hides behind a bush when doing her business and I pretend to not notice). The positive results were quickly realized.

How to house train your dog is probably one of the most frequent questions ask by dog owners. Patricia as always explains how to do this for any breed of dog in a simple way for everyone to understand what to do.

With a step by step plan for any age of dog this is not only a must read for puppy owners but for any dog owner who has a dog that has a problem with eliminating in the house. As a dog trainer I apply many of these things myself.

I have been experiencing extreme difficulty house breaking a dog and was hoping this book would have added insight not found in other publications. That was not the case. I would recommend it if you have a puppy experiencing occational problems, but for the tougher problems this is probably not what you are looking for.

Maybe this is a really good book. Maybe WE are just not being sufficiently attentive. Maybe we have a 'defective' rescue dog. So far, the only thing that has helped us is that we fell in love with our little rescue dog. Maybe we've been unsuccessful because he's four years old and was found wandering the streets with his 'brother'. We were told that he was housetrained. We think NOT. We've housetrained our other dogs. <sigh> We are not giving up, but now we've invested in Pet Urine cleaning aides.

Having recently adopted an adolescent rescue, and being new to dog ownership, I've acquired several books on dogs and dog training. I've been having some difficulty with housetraining, so I picked up this book (Pamphlet would be a more accurate description. You can read through the whole thing in 15 minutes.), thinking perhaps there was something I could be doing that wasn't covered in the other stuff I've read.

While the information contained is all very good, there is nothing in here that's probably not already covered in any other dog training book that you most likely already have.

This would be worth it for a $2 digital download, but for what you get $6 is a little steep. Save your money and put it towards a more comprehensive dog/puppy training manual (Perhaps even one by this author. I have other books by her that are very good.) that will most likely contain all the same information on housetraining.

Tricia gives great, easily applied advice on how to housetrain your dog! I've recommended this book to dozens of people.

A common sense guide for anyone having trouble housetrainig any dog of any age. A great resource by two great dog people!

Fast shipping and the book was awesome. I have 2 dogs I was having a problem with constantly. Since I bought the book only one of the dogs have made a mess in the house twice and both times at night. Thank you this really has helped.

I really enjoyed this book. It is small but it is packed with every important fact that you need. It is a good price when your buying it on amazon. I think that Patricia McConnell really knows what she is talking about and I've enjoyed all the books that I've read from her. I've been trying to potty train my 2 year old foster dog that I am convinced was a ferral dog. Cannot get any household manners through her thick skull : ) BUT... this has given me the fresh breath of air and the courage to keep trying. Day 2 and it's going really well!
