 BEST housetraining book I've read November 9, 2006

I work with a rescue group and we recommend this book to EVERY person who adopts a dog, whether or not that dog is housetrained already. The book has tips and info that can be used for puppies and adult dogs, as well as dogs that are already housetrained, but maybe you want to train them to potty in a specific area. This book is a MUST READ for all new dog owners, especially those with puppies.

I bought this book as someone here said it told them all they needed to know -- well, it most certainly did not. It did NOT address the problem of a pup who has been paper-trained and how to break that habit. All the book says is "Don't paper-train ..." but in no way deals with the issue of breaking a puppy of that habit.
A real waste of time.
My dog finally stopped having accidents! October 1, 2005

When I saw the title that included House Training Puppies & ADULT Dogs too, I figured I'd make a last-ditch effort to get my two year old dog to finally stop having accidents. I didn't know what I was doing wrong... I was following a food and water schedule, walking him plenty, and still there were accidents on a regular basis.
Now that I've read this book and followed the methods, my dog has completely stopped having housebreaking accidents! The main thing that was helpful was reading all of the "troubleshooting" tips, which helped me figure out what my dog's confusion was and how to train him.
If your dog or puppy is having housebreaking accidents, I highly recommend this book!
It actually works! September 27, 2005

Before I got this book, I felt like my puppy had no idea what to do. I'd walk him for half an hour and he'd have an accident as soon as we came inside. Sometimes he was even having accidents in the crate!
Once I read this book, I understood much better how my dog thinks and things starting going much better immediately. I now know what schedule to follow, how to do crate training properly, how to prevent accidents and what to do about them when they do happen.
Housebreaking is a bit of a project for anyone who has a dog, but with this book I feel confident that housebreaking will be overwith much faster and with less damage to my home. The front cover says "30 days or less to a trustworthy pet", and I'll bet that's true because my dog is doing much better with housebreaking already and it's only been 3 days!
Also, in the editorial review it says that the chapters are organized nicely for quick and easy future reference, and that's turned out to be helpful too. I'm able to open right up to the section I'm looking for in case I want to go over anything again.
Great book!
