 General Dog Training book... Not Yorkie Specific March 26, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this book hoping to get some insight as to how to train a small dog. This book is definately not worth the money! In one section, it claims you should use a choker like collar on the Yorkie for traning purposes. That is the WORST thing you should use on a toy dog. Chest harnesses should always be used. This book is too general and not worth the paper it's printed on in regards to training a Yorkie.

I bought this book hoping to get insight on raising and training my new yorkie, but all it gave was information on dog shows. I did not buy my dog for dog competitions, so all the information in the book was irrelevant. I did not need to know dog show terms and requirements for entering a dog into a competition. Use your money for Your Yorkshire Terrier's Life by Elaine Waldorf Gewirtz. Very helpful book. Gave good tips on house training.
 EXCELLENT BOOK March 1, 2006

I READ THE WHOLE BOOK. IT WAS EASY TO READ,INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE. IT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER BOOK ON YORKIES I BOUGHT ONLINE, ESPECIALLY THE SECTION ON TRAINING. I VERY MUCH LIKE HER INSTRUCTIONS ON TRAINING.

I am in the process of bringing a Yorkie into my home. The book starts with clear facts and realistic information about the pros and cons of the breed BEFORE the puppy enters your house. It leads you through the various stages of raising a Yorkie to be a happy, healthy adult. I highly recommend this book for potential owners who are debating buying this breed.

I enjoyed the book tremendously. I have read many of her books and Liz has always written very truthful. I use her books to understand breeds for my training. I also recommend her books to friends, clients, and family if anyone is looking for a new dog. I believe she explains very well the breeds personality. She is an excellent writer. I can't wait for her next book. Believe me, I read them cover to cover.
