Great Book

This book was an easy read and I read it in a couple of hours. It had great information that I have found very useful with my 16 week old puppy. I have learned that I need to be more patient and understand that some dogs will take a little longer to come around but it is a worth while endeavor. I have seen results with my pooch over the past week or so but it takes time, patience, and a full commitment to training your pooch to be well behave and an active member of your family. This book is not a quick fix but an aid to help you understand what has to be done to bring up a happy well adjusted pooch. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about getting a dog or who is serious about training their dog to be productive and not destructive.

chewing

This dog is a very loveable dog But all she wants to do is chew every thing. she knows she does wrong. But cant break of this habit. It is a rotweiler an a liottle over a year old?

indispensable guide for all breeds and all problems

This text helps you identify your dogs personality type and then work on specific problems according to his/her needs. This book emphasizes reconditioning as well as introductory training. It makes use of various tools such as the choke collar, shake can, and lead. I have had good success with this book with cocker spaniels to great danes. I have had timid to aggressive dogs. These tips for reconditioning focus on on-lead techniques but not exclusively. The topics in this book that I have used are: housebreaking, barking, biting, fence fighting, and carpography. This text is the one that I refer to over and over again throughout my dogs lives. When you have 3 great danes that are siblings raised entirely without a mother to guide them, you need help to guide you and this book has it all.
