This book is one of the better training books I've read. December 29, 1997 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I found Mr. Loeb's techniques to be helpful on many points. Our dog will actually stay now, even when she is extremely excited. His suggestions for teaching a dog to heel seem completely ineffective. I think if you are able to wade through his self importance, there is much good in this book. One must remember to take the things that seem helpful and throw the rest out.
Best Training Book I've Ever Read! December 10, 1997 uharriet@ebicom.net (Starkville, MS) 10 out of 12 found this review helpful
I first saw Paul Loeb perform some of his miracles on TV last week, and could not believe how simple and effective his techniques were. We have two Pomperanians just over two years old and life has been hell ever since. They have destroyed most of the furniture in the two rooms they were confined to, countless magazines, plant moss around my trees (inside). They barked at every little sound. For the past two years, my legs and arms were covered with scabs and bruises from the biting - one dog even ripped by lip open. After employing just what I saw on TV, I stopped the incessant barking and biting in just a few tries. When my husband arrived home from work, he thought he was in the wrong house because the dogs were so well behaved. I knew I had to order this book immediately. After reading Paul Loeb's book, all I can say is his book ought to be mandatory reading for all dogs owners, vets, other animal care people, and anyone claiming to be a dog trainer. This man has given me more understanding than all the other trainers put together. His advice and training methods are the most humane, loving, and caring imaginable, and they work. This book replaces EVERYTHING else!
