5.0 out of 5 stars
Thank goodness,
By Flagger (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks: The Sirius Puppy Training Manual (Paperback)
My standard poodle pup is 15 weeks old now. A couple weeksago on our first night of obedience class, the trainer said to jerk the leash when she pulls. I felt this kind of correction was harsh, and after one week it never seemed to help. In fact it probably reinforeced her leash pulling behavior and made her neck sore. Then I read Dunbar's book and after just one walking session Dogs sure are smart. Are you? Get this book and read it

A Must Have Book for Animal Guardians,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks: The Sirius Puppy Training Manual (Paperback)
This is a brilliant book and the foundation of a great, lifelong friendship between you and your pet. Not only does it have wonderful, pet-and-people-friendly methods for training things like sit, down, stand, leave-it, etc., but it addresses the much more important issues of teaching "temperament": being comfortable and happy around people and other animals. Learn fun ways of teaching your dog bite inhibition, friendliness to all kinds of people (including children!), and good dog-dog social skills. I read this book twice before I got my dog, and the methods worked like a charm. I refer to it constantly to review my, and my dog's, skills.

Either the Pod People took my dogs or this book really works,
By L. Thomas (Brooklyn Park, MN (USA)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks: The Sirius Puppy Training Manual (Paperback)
I have two rambunctious beagles who both came to me later in life with pleanty of bad habits, and a few new habits I taught them that weren't so good. In just a few short days of using the techniques in this book I can already see the changes in my dogs. The constant barking at everything outside is fading, they are reliably sitting to go outside and for walks.....just amazing.The best part is nothing in this book is hard, and the dogs seem to like it. The writing is entertaining. The author has a good grip on dogs. I also appreicate his "It's never too late attitude" So many books give up on older dogs.. or just refer you to the leash correction method of dog training for older more challenging pets. This is going to be the book I loan my friends when they get new dogs, replacing some of my old favorites.
