5.0 out of 5 stars Thank goodness, April 25 2002
By Flagger (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
My standard poodle pup is 15 weeks old now. A couple weeks
ago 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
using his techniques, our puppy showed great improvment. It
happened right before our eyes! Needless to say, I was
thrilled. Now we're having a great time learning all
sorts of new things.

Dogs sure are smart. Are you? Get this book and read it
(twice!).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Book for Animal Guardians, Jun 25 2003
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Either the Pod People took my dogs or this book really works, April 18 2001
By L. Thomas (Ames, IA USA) - See all my reviews
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.
