The Perfect Puupy - A Perfect Book! November 21, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is an excellent book. Before we got our working cocker spaniel we read lots of different books but in hindsight this was the best one and probably the only one you will need. It has lots of very practical and good advice and is very easy to dip into should a problem arise. We referred to it all the time and have now loaned it to a friend who has also just got a spaniel.
Our dog is now 10 months old and thanks to this book is a pleasure to have around. He has developed no bad habits and this book certainly helped us train him. Along with Jan Fennel's the dog listener, these are the only books you need.

Not going to go through a detailed review but if you are getting or have a puppy (or know anyone who is) BUY THIS BOOK!
We took on two German Shepherd pups as our first dogs and tried many books at the time but this one replaced them all. Our dogs are always admired for their good behaviour and it is all down to this book and 6 months major effort when they were pups. They are now 10 years old and the benefits of their training pays off every day.
Cannot recommend it highly enough!

This book is easy to read, and having read it, seems so obvious now. I wish I'd have read it for my previous dog. We used the simple techniques on my Labrador puppy from 2 months old. She is now 1 year, and is a very well behaved member of the family with a great character. This book really made a difference for us.
This book should be standard issue for any new puppy owner November 8, 2006

When I got my first puppy, I'd carry this book with me everywhere, it answered all the questions I had about my puppies behaviour and taught me in easy to understand terms how to and most importantly what not to do. It's so easy to get it wrong when training dogs, this is why so many dogs are given away after 6 months because they have not been trained properly, if you follow the basic instructions in this book it will make your dog owning life & your puppies life so much easier.
Forget anythng else you have seen - buy this book!! January 24, 2006

When we bought our puppy we bought a whole heap of reference books, most of which were rather dull and difficult to follow. This is a very clear book, very easy to understand and great to have at hand at all times. It clearly explains what is right and wrong -a great book to keep on hands for those panic moments and just to keep by the bed for reassurance. We thought we knew a lot about dog training but alot of it is old wives tales, this really makes things as unstressful as possible for both owner and puppy.
