This book saved me a lot of head aches and money. I’ve tried many dog behavior classes and was at the end of my rope. I now have better control over my dog’s behavior and can manage him without screaming at him. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants an easy to understand dog training manual.

I can not begin to describe how helpful this book was to me. Being the owner of an extremely difficult and what I thought was an unmanageable dog, I had almost lost hope. It was quite a relief when I learned that I didn’t have to be harsh when teaching my dog basic manners. Many thanks to the author!

Recently, I got my first ever dog! My whole life has been filled with cats and other creatures but I have always wanted a dog. Needless to say, I was at a loss when it came to dog life. Luckily, while filling (overfilling to be exact) my cart at the pet store, puppy in tow, I ran across Andrea Arden’s book. Of course, I immediately read the section on toliet training. Puppy Max and I are following the crate method described which is going well.
I don’t think I could have survived the first night without Andrea’s advice. My pillow was very useful in covering my ears to the wails of Max from the crate but sure enough, he stopped.
Everything from socialization (Pumba, my Bengal cat, is just enthralled with Max and took off with his dog bone last night while my other cat is still adjusting) to teaching tools to feeding is covered throughly in the book using simple language. Loved the sections in purple on every page!
The positive reward system for training has already taken hold and Max loves praise for peeing out on the grass!
We have just started to work on the barking lately. Can’t wait until 4 lb Max grows a little so we can start the leash!
Like I said, this book has been so important in my house (chewed edges and all). Highly recommended for a novice mom like me!
By the way, I would appreciate any other tips for great dog books!

This book was recommended to me by an animal behavior specialist for training an old dog I rescued from the shelter. He wasn’t housebroken and had a myriad of other behavior problems that needed work.
This book teaches you how to train a dog using rewards instead of punishment. It works remarkably well. I was able to teach my dog all the basic commands (’sit’, ‘down’, ’stay’, etc.) in just a couple of weeks. I also taught him to fetch a ball which was fun for both of us. When I first got him and tried it he would not even look at the ball when I threw it so I thought it would never work. But it only took a few weeks before he was fetching like a pro – giving a great indoor workout for this senior dog.
The book is comprehensive but brief and includes nice illustrations that make the training easier. It is also written in a simple style that should appeal to children, too.
My only complaint about the book is the reward style of teaching is most effective using food treats and rewards. My dog has digestive problems and so this method is limited. Still, all in all, this is a great book and I can highly recommend it – especially to new dog owners or those who are still “punishing” their pets.
