5.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to training your dog, May 26, 2007

This review is from: The Well-Mannered Dog: From Dealing with Cats to Staying in Hotels, a Total Guide to Good Manners (Paperback)
This book is easy to understand and covers basic dog training and tackling specific problems. The authors like the "reward with a treat" approach but they don't rule out gentle corrections. They do warn against harsh corrections, explaining why punishment can make your dog fearful.

The book was slightly more generic than I was hoping for. But not terrible overall.

Great tips but my dog has a mind of his own. I wish he could read the book and do the things.
