 Very good for a newbie September 30, 2008
I bought this book when we got our first puppy. I think it is a clear read and has good suggestions. The DVD was also an excellent way to educate everyone in the family about puppy training.
 Great Book August 26, 2008
Great ideas - good techniques. It's a shame there isn't some way to get folks to read this book "before" bringing that new puppy home. That way all your instruction to the pup will be correctly done and the poor pup won't have to "unlearn" some home-spun ideas you used before you read the book. Worth the read.
Step by Step instructions July 23, 2008
The book is well organized. I didn't think a specific topic was going to be covered, but looked it up anyway -- there it was! This is a good reference book as well as a good step-by-step introduction to puppy training. Though we also took our Basenji puppy to Puppy Kindergarten, this is a valuable tool to use when we need it.
Not perfect, but very helpful July 13, 2008
This book is chalk full of great techniques and ideas! Overall, the two authors are brilliant and the book has been very helpful in training our pup some basic commands. However, it's not perfect and some points seems impractical, flawed, or idealized. Another somewhat minor annoying thing is that there are a lot of cross-references to other sections of the books and I find myself frequently thinking "couldn't there be a better way for formatting the book so that there weren't so many cross references?" Anyway, I still think the book is very helpful for training -- especially when used with Cesar Millan's approach to pack leadership.

I found this book very informative and helpful, However, it did not come from Amazon with the Bonus DVD as advertised.
The authors encourage their readers to e-mail them with any questions that one may have, but an e-mailed question has gone unanswered for a considerable period of time.
