Safe & Effective, May 11, 2009
Reviewer: Cindy E
Forget Cesar Millan. This is the way to do it! Everybody wins, no one gets hurt, and life becomes easier and more peaceful.

Some of this material I already knew, especially regarding what is sometimes referred to as 'No Free Lunch' or 'Nothing in Life is Free.' But I'm now using 'body blocks' with considerable success to teach one of my dogs that he gets nowhere by pawing at me for attention -- as Trisha McConnell points out, just pushing him away or trying to ignore him doesn't work.

Buy this little book. If you're like me, you'll need to read it over and over for it all to really sink in, so keep it close at hand.
 
A must, February 25, 2008
Reviewer: A dog lover
This is so far one of the best small book that I have seen. Gives you how and what to do well explained to be the pack leader.
 
a must-have, July 30, 2006
Reviewer: Sue Brown, Love My Dog Training
If you buy only one book about training your dog, make it this one! A very quick and inexpensive read at only 15 pages, it gives you in very concise, easy-to-understand terms the basic pointers you need to have a well-behaved dog. I recommend this as a starting point whether you continue with any other training or not. I like this one so much that I include a complimentary copy for each client in my Puppy Pre-School and Basic Training Group Classes.
