 Easy to Follow, Easy on your mutual Puppyhood January 6, 2009
Merro M. (Frederick, Maryland)
Brian Kilcommon&Sarah Wilson's books are great for the first-time puppy family. We read [ASIN:0446675385 Good Owners, Great Dogs]] cover to cover a dozen times before our puppy came home.
After she did, My Smart Puppy was the puppy kindergarten course we put her through at home. It helps, especially as the book not only gives a sensible, easy to follow scheme for puppy-school work, but also provides examples of possible behaviors and responses.
You don't feel like an idiot because your puppy didn't learn immediately. They don't! And this book allows for that. It tells you what to expect, what might happen, what you might do, what is best to do. Clear and detailed, when you don't know whether you puppy is playful or Cujo.
Great book to train your puppy December 20, 2008
Photo Buff (Parkland, PA USA)
I am so happy to have found My Smart Puppy. The DVD is very helpful and the trainers know what they are doing. One needs much patience to raise a puppy..but once the puppy begins to understand what you're trying to teach it, it becomes a lot of fun. Communication between you and your puppy becomes enjoyable. We people tend to forget animals do not understand nor speak people language...and we need to learn how to communicate with them. This book clearly teaches you how.
Excellent Resource November 19, 2008

This is a wonderful book. It describes, in detail, challenges to expect when training your puppy and behaviors encountered during the different puppy developmental stages. It also gives extensive information on puppy temperament & personality types as well as training exercises. It seems to cover just about every question/issue about raising a well-rounded puppy. I have not had a puppy since childhood and this book answered a lot of questions I had about raising him properly.
