| Fantastic all-around dog training manual, March 15, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Crystal Saling |
| This was the first general dog training book that I have read that actually talked about how important food is to behavior- that wasn't written by a veterinary behaviorist. There are sections about the actual research on social structure of wolves and dogs, sections about how to calm yourself in order to train your dog appropriately and a good long section of step-by-step directions on how to train your dog. I really like Paul Owen's perspective on dog training and the story about his cross-over journey from chain and yank to committed cookie pusher. Wonderful book. |

| 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. |
