Summary: Save Your Money
Comment: If you purchase this item, bear in mind that it is not a book, but a fat pamphlet that has been stapled together. Every section also contains a "for more info, purchase my other books" reference, with an order form conveniently located in the back.
I've worked with dogs personally and professionally for 30 years. I bought this "book" in a batch of training books to brush up for a new puppy coming this year...I don't honestly see how anyone with a modicum of common sense could follow the suggestions in this "book". (You're not supposed to say "no"--you're supposed to growl "Errhh" at your puppy--like a mother wolf....in public?!) If you follow his correction techniques, you are almost assured to wind up with a conflicted dog. (Yanking on the leash as a correction WHILE praising?! That would confuse any animal!) I have to wonder what logic leads him to think that slamming your puppy's leash in the car door as a security measure while going for a car ride was a good idea...sounds more like a great way to strangle your puppy. Not to mention if you fed your pup as many treats as he insists you should, your dog will either end up morbidly obese, or viewing you as nothing more than a vending machine...in fact, the author's only credentials seem to be that he earned a degree in Psychology....save your money and buy a real puppy book by people who are bone fide trainers with some real credentials ...Superpuppy by the Pinkwaters comes to mind...it's $1 less and a whole lot more really good information...plus it's actually a real book!

Summary: A must read for early puppy training
Comment: This book, together with "SuperPuppy: How to Raise the Best Dog you'll Ever Have" are the best puppy socialization and training books I've read. We've had 12 to 14 pointers and retrievers over the years, all trained for field work. This book on puppy training focuses on socialization and basic obedience training using positive reinforcements. It talks about how to correct and avoid a number of bad habits. It's short but very direct and straight forward in the writing and techniques. I'd rate it higher than 15 to 20 other books on puppy training currently on the market. It should be required reading for all breeders and puppy purchasers.
Rating: 5
Summary: Should be required reading for all puppy owners
Comment: This is a short but the most complete puppy training book I've seen and should be required reading for all breeders and puppy purchasers. This is a straight forward, positive reinforcement approach to creating a well adjusted, responsive puppy with excellent family and socialization skills. This book coupled with "SuperPuppy goes to Puppy Class" will give you all the tools and techniques to have the best dog you've ever had. We don't breed dogs, but have had 12 or 14 pointers and retrievers, all field trained. It's the best book I've seen on puppy training and how to correct and avoid, in a positive way, bad habits.
