Big suprise, dogs know that we aren’t dogs. The gig is up, dogs don’t relate to us the way they relate to dogs. Get a book that really teaches you how dogs think and learn.

This book was a big disappointment. There’s nothing new in the book. The concept of “Mother knows best” is just plain wrong. Teaching a dog has nothing to do with being a surrogate mother. The author keeps repeating herself without providing useful information. The whole book could be shortened to an insteresting article in a dog magazine. In its present form it is way too long. The author also contradicts herself many times. She emphasizes that learning should be fun for the dog and the owner, then on page 107 when she teaches SIT STAY she writes “He [The dog]understands that when you call him he must go to you and that if he doesn’t, you will bore hime to death…” All in all, I would not recommend this book to any serious dog owner.

I was a bit disappointed with this book. It was recommended to me by a friend, but I don’t think I would pass it along. The methods are a bit harsh and certainly what I would call outdated.

Like the concept, didn’t like the book. Author spends too much time belaboring the basic premise (mother knows best). Actual advice is scattered, disorganized. Few readers need to know how she publicized her first puppy training class. Strongly preferred “The Art of Raising a Puppy” by Monks of New Skete.

This is a very good book for training yourself to talk to dogs.
