Product Description

You finally gave into that adorable puppy or friendly adult dog and now Fido’s a member of the family. You just can’t get enough of those big soulful eyes or his cute little antics…until you step in his not so adorable doggy mess on your new beige carpet. That’s when you know – it’s really time to start housetraining.

So you’ve made the decision to start housetraining Fido but you have no idea how to go about it. Do you yell, do you praise, do you give him the evil eye? Housetraining for Dummies takes all the guesswork out of housetraining your dog and demystifies the entire process. Award-winning author, Susan McCullough, who specializes in dog training and care gives you all the answers to potty training your dog – whether it’s a puppy or an adult – in plain English so you can train Fido faster and save your carpet from those tell-tale stains. You’ll get practical advice about:

Your dog’s instincts and learning style
The right approach for housetraining your dog

McCullough shares all of her insider advice as well as her own horror and success stories to make housetraining as easy as possible for you and your pooch. Housetraining for Dummies includes helpful tips, reminders, warnings, and information on:

Puppy versus adult housetraining
Recognizing your dog’s potty style
Training your dog to pee on command
Avoidable housetraining mistakes
Problem potty-ers and how to help them

You don’t have to keep sending Fido to the doghouse because of those puddles or piles. Housetraining for Dummies makes it easy for you to housetrain him so you can both enjoy the great indoors again.

McCullough covers every aspect of housetraining, a very important part of living with a dog. Her writing is lively and accessible and she leaves no stone unturned. She doesn't shy away from any aspect of the topic and doesn't resort to cutesy euphemisms. Whether you're about to acquire a dog who will need housetraining or are already living with a dog who has potty problems, Housetraining for Dummies will provide the information you need to tackle the task.

4.0 out of 5 stars No More Messes, Jul 6 2002

By	"greatgrandmam" (Vienna, VA USA) - See all my reviews

First, a disclaimer. I live in the author's neighborhood. But after watching her "Corey" behave himself while our two, young dogs made a mess of our carpet and backyard, I couldn't wait to read her book. I wasn't disappointed. I'm not a dummy (I don't think), but after a lifetime of dog-owning, this was the easiest and fastest way I've seen to learn the secrets that make having a pet such a pleasure for many people.
