Very Good Book for the Price January 14, 2006

I bought this book since it had such a low price and the reviews were good, even though there were only a few reviews on it. I found it very informative and it makes a lot of sense. I do not have my puppy yet to see if the suggestions work, but I will definately be following it once I do get the puppy. It is pretty basic though, telling you how to teach sit, stay, come, and heel, plus has chapters dedicated to dog problems such as barking, jumping, and so forth. It focuses mainly on clicker training, and also goes over crate training for housebreaking. I would have preferred more pictures to illustrate the different things talked about, and maybe a couple of sample forms to give you examples of the logs to keep for training and all, but those are not all that necessary.

I highly recommend Gerilyn J. Bielakiewicz's "The Only Dog Training Book You Will Ever Need" which gives you the A-Z of raising those cute but oftentimes unruly pups. The book is written for novices in mind and had been a major life-saver when I was at a complete loss as to what to do when I adopted a 3-month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi (a notoriously difficult breed to raise) a couple of months ago. The book delves into the highly effective method of clicker training for dogs at length, resulting in my teaching my pup over 10 commands in just days (!). Betsy Brevitz's "Hound Health Handbook" is also another excellent reference book which offers credible advise from a writer-turned-vet behind the award-winning website, .... These books are must-read for owners who are experiencing problems in obedience training and/or understanding their dogs. Prospective owners who are contemplating what breed to buy and the pros and cons of adopting a dog to complete their lives and homes will also find them useful. "Puppies for Dummies" is another book written with the novice in mind: it offers practical clues like playing classical CDs on repeater mode while owners have to leave their dogs alone; to not make a song and dance when owners have to depart for work or retire to bed(no-no to "grandiose departures/returns gestures"); to what to look out in dog food labelling et al. 5 Stars for their comprehensive contents, readability and effectiveness!

This is a great book and is good to accompany other training books such as "Good Owners, Great Pets"
