5.0 out of 5 stars Discriptive, humane, and logical ways to train your dog., August 14, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a book for anyone who wants a great, loving dog, that is well trained. It explained how to teach your dog the easiest of tasks, like the sit, come, stay, and many more. One option this book had that many other dog training books don't have is a complete chapter on what to play with your dog, and an advanced training section. If you want a dog, that is reliable, good, and intelligent this book is great to read. I did find some of the ways to train your dog physcological, but in the end, it made a ton of sense, and made you think, "Why didn't I think of that?" The illistrations also made it even more understanding, because they showed you what the book ment if you didn't quite understand a segment. Truly, this book is an excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be without this book!, June 28, 2000

By	"rhippler" (Louisiana) - See all my reviews

This book is excellent in teaching you how to train your dog in a loving manner that earns the respect of the dog. It is one that you can read and say; that is easy enough, I can do that! This book explains not only what to do but why you need to do it that way, helping you understand the way your dog thinks and therefore, how to teach your dog in a way that he can understand what you are asking of him. After ordering one book for myself, I am back to order more of this title to send home with the pups I have to be sold soon. I feel I can really insure a better chance for a happy new life for these pups by sending this book home with each new owner!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book on house manners for dogs, December 1, 1998

By A Customer

A wonderful book on teaching basic house manners to your dog. I liked it as it was written very simply and could be understood by everyone. This is an excellent resource for breeders to include in puppy packets. Plus the drawings are extremely cute.
