Title: Surviving Your Dog's Adolescence : A Positive Training Program by Carol Lea Benjamin ISBN: 0-87605-742-3 Publisher: Howell Book House Pub. Date: 01 October, 1993 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $20.00 |

Summary: Important tho not Perfect
Comment: This book is important for two very strong reasons: 1) it alerts dog owners everywhere that their dogs have a teenage stage; and 2) it counters the newly-prevelant ideas that training is 100% positive and you can avoid corrections completely.
I am an advocate of using the friendliest and most positive methods available. BUT, a whole generation of children was raised by parents who were permissive, and look how that turned out. Yes, you sometimes have to tell your dog (especially when they hit adolescence) no!
That said, I can't give it an all-out endorsement because I don't totally agree with it. I don't think you should rely on collar corrections for non-leash work. "Put on the collar and correct the dog for this, that, and the other." If the naughty behavior is occuring off-lead, you need to find an off-lead deterrent. Also, she is a bit limited in her options. By discarding everything reward trainers do, she overlooks some good advice. So, this book isn't the end-all be-all. BUT, the message that your bratty teen needs some structure and leadership is so important, and so lacking in most modern materials, that it's worth the read.
P.S. Absolutely nowhere in this book does the author advocate alpha rolls or scruff shakes or any other physical reprimand. Don't know where that reviewer was coming from.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Comment: I recommend this book to all of my clients with young dogs. Not only does Ms. Benjamin offer excellent ifnormation on obedience training, she also provides insights on canine personality types and some very good advice on problem solving.
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent help for dog owners
Comment: I found this book highly interesting and helpful. It gives practical training tips in ways the new dog owner can understand and easily put into practice... There is absolutely no negative training in this book. It all focuses on the positives of relationship, describing and teaching language a dog can understand. I found it extremely helpful. I would highly recommend it to any current or prospective dog owner.
