| REAL Dog Whispering!, July 3, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Ann Dupuis |
Before Cesar Milan became a TV star as 'The Dog Whisperer,' Paul Owens was using real 'dog whispering' techniques - positive reinforcement training - to help dogs and their owners. 'The Dog Whisperer: A Compassionate, Nonviolent Approach to Dog Training' by Paul Owens should be on every dog owner's bookshelf - or better yet, in their hands, open and being read.
Not just a training book (although there's plenty of excellent training advice here), 'The Dog Whisperer' is a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know to have a well-behaved dog and a wonderful relationship. Diet, play, exercise, stress, communication, leadership: they all affect your dog's behavior, and Paul Owens explains how to manage these to your advantage.
As for training: from 'How Dogs Learn' through 'The Lessons' to 'Dealing With Problem Behavior' you'll find everything you need to start you on the path to a better-behaved dog and a happy, healthy relationship with your animal companion. |

| Plastic bag material, February 23, 2007 |
| Reviewer: J Miller |
This book has an odd new age proselitizing feel that overwhelms the minimal amount of decent information presented. The feel good spin of this book is deceptively appealing but distracting.
There are just to many other good books out there to be wasting your time on this one.
I carry plastic bags in my coat pocket for this kind of stuff. |

| I stand corrected. :-), January 25, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Betsy & Biscuit |
| Hi! Thanks to curiosity, I went to my local bookstore in December and checked this out this book in person, since it didn't look like it was by 'that OTHER guy.' Sure enough, as noted in the review below, I was wrong -- and I am happy to stand corrected. This book actually looked very good in the bookstore, and I almost bought it for my own training bookshelf -- until I remembered I could order it from Dogwise. (This revised review will automatically replace the original 'word of warning' review, which appeared two reviews down.) Thanks. |
