1.0 out of 5 stars Parents don't buy this book!, March 7, 2000

By A Customer

This book has cute pictures which may interest children, but its text is inaccurate and incomplete. If you use these methods on any breed other than a small toy breed you may end up with problems in the long run. Instead read "Puppy Preschool" by John Ross and Barbara McKinney.

1.0 out of 5 stars Won't waste money - nonsense., September 5, 2006

By	Blulupas (Australia) - See all my reviews

What a waste of money. Don't bother buying this book, in fact I will be avoiding anything written by this author (We have another one of his - an older one and the thinking has not changed in this one one bit). IMO, There are way superior books for kids, parents and families on how to get started with training that are more dog and people friendly and will acheive the same results.
