Every New Puppy Owner Should Read This

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2018

This is the number one book I recommend to my friends who adopt puppies. We used this method with my dog in 2008, and it took about 3-4 days to housebreak her. 10 years later and I can't recall her ever having an 'accident' in the house.

We've had many puppies over the years and this is our go-to guide to house break each and every one of them. It has worked in 7 days for us ... but you need to follow it EXACTLY.

The book had some good advice.

Although I purchased this book one month before my puppy was brought home, the book seller dropped the ball and I didn't get the book until 5 weeks later after two inquiries. I don't think I will buy from that book seller again. The book had some good advice in it and it would have been good if I had gotten the book within a few days of purchase.

This book gives the most reliable approach to housetrain your puppy. If you can follow the advise, the dog will be housetrained, but probably in more days than 7.
The essentials are actually quite simple and the principles can be summaries in 3 pages. Talking to someone experienced in crate-based training is probably easier.

How To Housebreak Your Dog in 7 Days

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2002

This book would be very helpful for someone who has no clue about housebreaking. However I found the same information by using internet search engines, the keyword:housebreaking, and found more than I could read. The book did have little tid bits here and there that were good to know. Also, by the time this arrived my puppy was already housebroken. Lastly, this book is overpriced for the size and information that I already got from the internet for free!
