Have owned dogs for many years but this book
is by far the best book I have read on dog training.
Would recommend to anyone.
After reading this book, neither you nor your dog will be a "dummy." April 3, 2008

I was searching for a resource written in "plain English" that would help me understand my dog from the inside out.
Dog Training for Dummies has given me some keen insight into my pet's psychology. I absolutely love the concept of "postive training" as this method will undoubtly ensure a positive bonding experience with my dog.
Jack and Wendy Volhard have written a training manual that should be given to each new puppy owner. This resource has de-mystified the concept of dog training for me and has encouraged me to challenge my dog to be the best canine citizen he can be. This is, of course, for his good and well being as well as for ours.
A Training Book for Children October 22, 2007
Lee (NY)
Insofar as children are the usual family member wanting an animal, this book makes them part of the whole training aspect, whih I feel is as necessary as their doing chores. (ie: feeding, bathing, walking dog)

I can't believe all the info in this book! It covers dog training and even nutrition. Worth every penny of the purchase price. Made me feel confident in my training techniques. I taught both of my dogs the "down" command in a week.
