 Very informative February 11, 2008
Seth (Baltimore, MD)
Excellent book wonderful advice. Well written easy to follow. I would recommend this to anyone with a dog or looking to get a dog. He was great advice on how to pick out a well behaved and trainable puppy. He also has great advice on how to train the dog to do most of the basics. Potty training, sit, come, stay, how to walk on a leash. What are some good toys, etc.
This is the Best book for training any Dog ever written February 8, 2008

GOOD OWNERS, GREAT DOGS: A TRAINING MANUAL FOR HUMANS AND THEIR CANINE COMPANIONS (THE KILCOMMONS WAY TO A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP)
This is the best possible book for training any dog
 Solid advice - good for city dog owners January 4, 2008

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought an 8 wk old puppy (my first) and this book was recommended to me by a dog trainer. I found the advice to be very helpful and the approaches to be doable. The big plus is that Kilcommons provides specific advice for city dog owners in terms of challenges with house training, noise, confined living space and puppy quarantine periods.
I also bought Puppies for Dummies and found that book to be better organized, easier to reference and more useful overall. I tend to reference Dummies more often, but am glad that I read both. The recommendations in both books are generally consistent. I found Dummies to provide more alternative solutions to problems, whereas Good Owners tends to use one approach to fit all.
Get this book if you want to buy/adopt a puppy!! December 31, 2007
Mom moves fast (USA)
I bought this book before we got a puppy and so glad I did. It tells you who to buy from and who not to buy from. How to test the temperment of a puppy before you buy or adopt. The crate training and housebreaking info has be VERY helpful now that we have our 10 week old puppy at home! After housebreaking we will move on to the other training portions of the book.
One of the best books for dog owners November 14, 2007
Fernando Camacho (New Jersey)
I'm a dog behavior consultant and trainer and try to read as many dog related books as I can get my hands on. This one is probably the one book I would recommend to every single person with a dog. It covers just about everything you need to know to better understand your four-legged friend and is easy to read and well organized. Brian Kilcommons really understands dogs and how to communticate with them to help our two very different species live together in harmony.
