Summary: Great Help
Comment: This book showed me what I had done wrong in the past. I let my dog, a German Shepherd be the boss and she got away with murder. If you see the movie Marley and Me, my Meghan could have been Marley. I spoiled her because I loved her.
After Meghan died, I was very lost. Finally after 1 1/2 years of lonliness, I got another German Shepherd and named hime Moose. He came from GS Rescue and was 8 mo old. He is now 1 year and 87 lbs.
Because a friend referred this book to me, I got started off right. It tells how you can lovingly show your dog who is boss and teach him the correct way to act. It was a big help to me. Moose is a big boy but very well behaved and gentle. Great Book!

Summary: Fantastic, comprehensive best book for puppy training
Comment: Okay so this is I dont even know what number of book I've read thus far for puppy training. I've read the dog whisperer (not Cesar Milan), two of Cesar Milans book, The other side of the leash, ASPCA dog training, etc, etc you get the idea.
This is the best book I've read thus far and if you only have the money for one puppy book get this one.
Why I like it. I have a high strung lab. Sorry positive reinforcement and replacement just don't work for the jumping, nipping etc. This book taught me how to handle the nipping and in two days my puppies nipping was improved 98%. That's a big bravo in my book. Housetraining schedule, crate training, temperament testing for puppies, basic dog obedience. How to socialize your dog, collars for training. I give this book five stars and is a must have for puppy raising. I also like their other book by the way but this is the best for puppies.

Summary: Love this book!
Comment: I love this book! I think the monks find a way to simplify and teach everyone exactly how to read and train their dogs. They offer kind and effective methods that really work! I have now bought this book as a gift to share the knowledge with others who are considering getting a puppy. It was invaluable to me.
