Book Description
Canine expert Victoria Stilwell shows readers how to train their dogs out of even the most difficult and persistent bad behaviors. It's Supernanny for your dog Victoria Stilwell is one of the world's most recognized and respected dog trainers. As the host of Britain's hit television series It's Me or the Dog and the founder of training schools on both sides of the Atlantic, she is known as much for her spunky attitude as for her caring, effective methods. Now, in her first book, Victoria shows how to tame even the most problematic dog. Simple, intuitive instructions and color photographs help dog owners not merely train their pets, but understand them -- so when a new issue arises, they'll be able to adjust their approach and nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand. Throughout, she reminds owners that training isn't about imposing their will on a dog; it's about giving him the tools he needs to live in the human world. Topics include: --Think Dog: understanding your pup --Talk Dog: canine communication --Dog School: basic obedience training --Dog's Dinner: the right diet --Accidents Will Happen: house-training --You'll Never Walk Alone: exercise --Worker's Playtime: having fun with your dog

 Awesome book! July 16, 2008
Love the show and her method of training because she uses positive reinforcement. It was very helpful and have tried a few of her techniques on my dogs and it has made things a lot calmer and better. I was even able to teach my dogs some tricks and was surprised how quickly they learned because she explains it in such a simple way. I highly recommend this book to anyone who owns a dog.
 Great for first time dog owners July 14, 2008
I bought this book after seeing Victoria Stillwell's program on Animal Planet. What I liked was her simple approach to dog training and her book is exactly that. As a first time dog owner I was challenged by my rescue dog who had never been on a leash before I adopted her let alone gone potty outside or been trained at all. At almost 6 months, she was becoming a rowdy teenager with no manners!
After a month, she's better. There's still a ways to go but this book helps a lot with exactly how to train, how to reinforce the training, and how to bond with your dog. I highly recomment it!
A Good Read for the Do-It-Yourselfers July 8, 2008

I got some new insights into dog behavior from this book. It helped us understand our corgi better. We are practicing several of Victoria's techniques now - with positive results. (I guess we'll keep our pooch and try to fix him.)
This book is easy to read and understand.
Who needs Cesar Millan when you have Victoria Stilwell June 21, 2008
Best dog training guide ever! I used this book to help me solve my problems I had with my 65lb Labrador Retriever pulling on the lead,being unfriendly toward strange dogs,barking,and his mild separation anxiety. I highly recommend getting this book for your dog training needs.

I used to watch the show and thought that things happened too fast on screen, so I needed something handy that I could check any time I had doubts. For me it was a good surprise to find this book. It gives a lot of tips, explains many behaviors, and everything looks reasonable and obvious somehow! It's my bedside book right now, when I have to deal closely with my family "crazy" labrador. I didn't give it 5 stars because I couldn't find all the answers to my questions. But it sure was a very good start!
