 Didnt like this book March 2, 2006

I did not like this book at all. It states to wait for the puppy to do the wanted action and praise the puppy. That to me does not seem like the way to train a puppy. I have ordered the dog whisperer video and am hoping for better results.
 3 dogs ... quarter of a century! still perfect! March 24, 2005

I first purchased this booking the late 70s or early 80s. If I recall correctly, it was on the "suggested" table at a local bookshop in the Hamptons.
Ah yes... the 1980s! In finance, Ivan Boesky personified the times of "live big, show off." At the movies ET phoned home, Peggy Sue got Married. The toys to own were a Rubik cube and Pac man.
Those icons are long gone ...yet this little book has survived! Ain't life strange?
Well since that time (almost thirty years ago) I've had two more dogs and two more wives.
I got my latest dog last month. Once again I went back to this "21 days" classic book. After all it kept me in good stead through "Buffy" and "Charlie" and now is being reread for use with "Trumper" (the dog not the Donald).
I see why this has survived almost thirty years on the Simon & Schuster backlist as well as more than thirty five printings in five different editions and four languages. It is a true classic.
This is the one book to buy to train your new pup or old dog. It is brilliant in its absolute simplicity.
I'm not sure this book actually needed one more review. However, there are very few things in my life that (a) I liked in 1980 and still like (b) that survived from 1980 and (c) that cost under $10.00 yet has brought so much joy.
It belongs in every doggie persons library.
This is the best! September 22, 2004

No ifs, ands or (none housebroken) butts ... this is the best dog training book I've ever seen. It did take me more than 21 days (more like 42 days). However, considering my earlier training attempts fell on deaf ears (I thought dogs have really good hearing) ... I am thrilled. The best ten bucks I've ever spent. Get this book ... from amazon, the library or a friend. These guys really know howw to train dogs. Or actually they know how to train layman to train dogs!
At last, the dog is trained! November 26, 2003

My dog found this simple to follow and so did I. Training my dog has been less than a joy. Five books, twenty websites, and endless advice of family and friends later, I read the Amazon reviews. I bought this book (sorry amazon, I couldn't wait I went to a local store). It was everything it promised and more. Eight days later I have a dog that is not ready for the show circuit BUT is ready for my family visit on thanksgiving. a miracle! a blessing! Truly something to be thankful for!
Should come packed in with a puppy! August 9, 2003

You know how they say about babies "they dont come with instructions". Of coursde, its the same with dogs. Think of this as the owners manual you didnt get. This is the very best dog training book. I wish I had gotten it before the two impossiblew to follow (and overpriced) manual the breeder suggested. They were worthless. This is priceless!
Simple to read, understand and implement.
