Product Description

For almost twenty years, dog owners have turned to this compact guide for sensible, step-by-step advice how to housebreak their beloved pets--in just one week! Now revised and updated, pet expert Shirlee Kalstone's foolproof method for housebreaking your dog is available with a fresh new look and up-to-date information.

Whether your dog is a puppy or getting on in years, whether your goal is to housebreak, paper train, or litter train, this practical, easy-to-follow plan will help you transform your pet into a dependable member of the household--in a way that works with both his innate behavioral instincts and your individual lifestyle. You'll never again have to worry about your dog acting out, feeling anxious or depressed--or ruining your brand-new rug--as you discover:

* The simple secret of successful housebreaking--understanding your dog as a den dweller

* Step-by-step programs tailored to both apartment dwellers and home owners, as well as to people who go to work, versus those who are home all day

* Schedules for training puppies and (re)training adult dogs

* How to identify your dog's natural behavioral rhythms--and use them to your advantage

* How to cope with housebreaking lapses, marking territory, separation anxiety, and health problems

* The power of praise and positive reinforcement, not punishment

Including sample schedules and timetables, and a list of related resources and websites, here is the essential, proven advice that will make training a pleasure, for both you and your dog.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thank God I Didn't Buy It, Jun 22 2004
By A Customer
We were to bring a new puppy home - my and my husband's first puppy ever. I was in a panic, thinking I would not have a clue of what to do, and was very concerned about housebreaking. I selected 2 books (I won't go in to why they haven't helped me as of yet), and I did not buy this one. I thought about it, almost bought it.

We brought the puppy home and with a little consistency I - an inexperienced dog-owner - had housetrained him in a week! Believe me, that was the easiest part (thus far) of dog companionship! If you use a little common sense and consistency, you do not need this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative and helpful for beginners., Jun 21 2004
This book provides a script and scenarios for housebreaking your puppy or adult dog. What I appreciated from this book was an equal amount of devotion to owner's who will paper train or train for the outdoors. It also takes into consideration owners who must leave dogs alone for long periods as well as owners who have access to their dog all day. I suggest purchasing a specialized breed book as well, such as a Complete Idiot's Guide..., for additional information about housebreaking your breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars It worked for us!, April 17 2004
By leighann "leighann1001" (Alpharetta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
I recommend this book to everyone who gets a new puppy. Or even an older, non-housebroken dog. Neither my husband or I had ever housebroken a dog before. In my case, my family had only owned one, and she came to us trained. In his case, their family dogs just never got trained. So we were novices when we brought home our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I bought this book and read it before we got the dog, so we were ready to go. We got a late start in training, because we had to deal with an illness (in the dog) first. Even with waiting nearly two months to train her, I'd say we had her fairly reliable in a couple of months and completely accident free by one year, which is about right for a CKCS. She's now four and hasn't had an accident in three years. We can take her to visit friends, family and stay in hotels and not worry about a mess. The book is easy to read and offers advice for all types of situations: house dog, apartment dog, young puppy, older dog.
