Customer Reviews Rating: - good specific training advice for all possible training situations
As a first time dog owner this book is helpful in guiding training, I am paper training my dog poodle and the information was very helpful.
Rating: - Dog Training Book
Nothing more than commmon sense. All the old same old same old ideas. Nothing really new for potty training to a litter box for small dogs.

We were given this book at the shelter where we adopted our 10-week old retriever mix. It gives programs for both people who are at home during the day and those who work, and also a part for older dogs. The premise is "what goes in must come out" and that by keeping a journal and keeping a strict feeding and watering schedule you can do a good job of anticipating when it's going to happen. The idea is if you set your puppy up for success he will succeed. The only thing we did differently was set an alarm for 2am to go out so that in the morning it wasn't such a mad dash to the door. We never had a single accident in the house and he really was trained in about 7 days.
Rating: - Good book
The book offers a great basic understanding and scheduling for training. The most valuable part of the book is the schedules the author offers for various working/non-working owners.
Rating: - this worked for us
we used this book seven years ago to train our mutt. we did it in conjuction with an obedience class - it really worked for us. rarely do we have a mishap (usually caused by excitement) - our dog is just amazing and we feel like this book helped. you must follow what it says - and be on top of the situation for the 7 days. getting a dog is fun, but it is work work work. you must have the time for your pet to train it. its is worthwhile and wonderful.
