 What a great book - & I don't even have a dog yet! October 13, 2008
My family and I (hopefully) will be adopting a Golden Retriever puppy in a few months. This book was recommended to me by my sister-in-law and the Golden breeder, and what a GREAT book! I'm in my second reading because the tips for preparing for a puppy, training, bonding, and having an all-around wonderful companion are numerous, but easy to understand and just plain common sense. I'll probably read it another 2 or 3 times before the puppy arrives! I want to be ready, and I want my husband and kids to be ready, and this is definitely a book that will get us there! For potential Golden Retriever owners, I also recommend "Golden Retrievers for Dummies" for more easy to understand, fun info that's breed specific.
 Good Owners, Great Dogs - New Puppy? A must read. October 5, 2008
Easy to follow/read. Wether or not you are a first time owner, it is a great reference and a reminder of what to do and not to do. I enjoyed reading it and definitely found it helpful with our new puppy.
don't get a dog without reading this first September 2, 2008
A comprehensive dog owners manual! I read through this manual before getting our first dog last week and it proved to be invaluable. We have followed it's instructions to a "t" and our puppy is house trained in one week with no accidents. She sleeps through the night (and has since day 1) in her crate and is already learning simple commands. The book hits home the need to have a schedule, be consistent, and be aware of your tone of voice. Excellent purchase!
This book worked for me, a cat person not used to dogs August 24, 2008
I thought that Mr. Kilcommons had a lot of great ideas. The thing is you use what works and your leave the rest. Not every trainer works for every dog. The main thing is that the person must be the alpha dog and act properly so that your dog respects you and wants to work for you.
I like the fact that Mr. Kilcommons says that the owners need to do their part, such as exercise. If a dog misbehaves, a lot of time it may be because they are not getting enough exercise. So if they still misbehave, give them more exercise. There is a lot of responsibility to being an owner. Also, I saw the results regarding using plastic bowls for my cats; I used Mr. Kilcommons' advice in using ceramic or stainless steel bowls instead and one my cats lost her black mark on her chin. So the book has a lot of good advice.
great! June 27, 2008
