 GREAT SYSTEM!!! August 24, 2007

My wife and I decided we'd like to have a dog (neither of us had had one before). We researched breeds and a training and settled on a Bishon Frise (playful, great family dogs, but a little stubborn to train) and this book. WOW!!! That's all I have to say.
We followed this book to the T, waited and waited and waited and then all of a sudden it just clicked... Our little man was peeing on his paper. The only thing I'd say is that we'd intermittently walk him outside and now he goes outside if we're walking him, or goes all-day inside on his paper if we need to leave him for a few hours to run errands. We'll even bring him to our friend's house, drop down a newspaper and he'll play all day and when he's ready do his business on the paper. In fact, most of our friends ask (if not encourage us) to bring our little man! I'd highly recommend this book to first-timers.
Follow it to the T, have faith in the system, and you'll see it click. Good luck!!!

Although the summary and reviews said that this book was good for puppies, it is really meant for older pups (4 months and up). For anyone housebreaking a puppy, most of the puppy books have better information for the younger puppies (8-12 weeks).

Calling this a pamphlet might be generous. The real "Information" you need for a new puppy is about 5 pages. Other sections cover older dogs, etc...
I have lived with and trained dogs all my life. My wife hadn't. I got this book for her since she never listens to a thing I say anyway. The concise, correct advice is easy to read, it just relies on the owner to follow through.
The book tells you how to housetrain a dog. The people who said this book didn't teach them anything.... Did they already know how? Then why buy this book? I've seen too many owners not want to crate their puppies, and refuse to discipline them, if you're not up for being your puppies warden, then you won't like the advice presented within. If you plan to have a long-time companion who is well-adjusted, this book also has great general training tips.
Frankly, I was overjoyed by the book's brevity. I want the info, not fluff and filler. It was very easy to say "Honey, that's 5 pages of instructions that are clearer than what I can tell you, just read it."
A year later, my Dog Ruckus is accident free, I have no fear walking into another person's home, and he pees on command if needed. I only hope Ms. Kalstone writes a book on child rearing sometime soon.

Ummm-I think the dog just has to want to do the correct thing. Good ideas in the book but it didn't work for us, but we have 7 dogs.
