A must for the Animal Training Impaired! July 16, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have never trained a dog before and know little to nothing about training puppies or dogs. My daughter (a real dog/animal lover) just got an impossible dog that my husband and I were considering ridding our house of, when my neighbor gave us this truly honest and complete book on how dogs think and the appropriate training for them to be good pets. We had no clue how to turn our nightmare around without devastating our child. The book is written so clearly and the procedures are so affective, Little Rosa is slowly becoming a part of our family and will probably stay with us for the long term. Unlike most training manuals, this book explains exactly what is happening in the dog's mind and what is expected. If the book is closely followed the dog enjoys the guiding and will be kept safe, and the owners will enjoy the dog. Highly recommended for anyone that hasn't got a clue how dogs should be treated to obtain likeable pets. Thank you to the Mantell family for giving us this book.
This book should be required reading for all dog owners! October 15, 1998

This book has been adopted as the manual for many obedience classes. I've been teaching dog obedience for years, and this book is my most useful tool. It expains most aspects of owning a dog, in easy to understand terms. I recommend it highly, and give it to all of my clients. The pictures are GREAT and very funny.
The only book a pet owner needs!! June 3, 1998

i have worked with dogs -- from pet poodles to belgian malinois patrol dogs -- and this book applies to all of them. i think the most important thing owners learn is that obiedience is not a cure-all, but a beginning for the owner to learn how to teach their campanion good manners. it is a loving book that serves the pet first and foremost in dispelling myths the owner might hold near and dear.
Easy and sensible! April 18, 1998

I read this book and used it's training tips and obedience training sequences, and not only is my dog an excellent listener, he is more than willing to learn because it is all positive. I have never had a dog learn so fast and be happy about it! this book gets a 10+.
Great for pet owners to understand the way dogs think! November 9, 1997

This book has been selected by the Hamilton Dog Training Club (Hamilton, Ohio, USA) for use in its puppy and beginner classes. As a veterinary technician, I find this text useful in explaining to owners why dogs behave the way they do and the best way for the owner to interact with their pets. Janet Lazarus, RVT
