Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A perfect bare-bones pratical guide for dog owners!
Review: I have read other wonderful books by Dr. Dunbar, but this one takes the biscuit! Whether you are a first time puppy parent or seasoned dog lover, this book will provide you with tons of useful and up to date information on how to raise and live with your canine best friend. Personally, the advice on throwing out the dog food bowl and replacing it with stuffed chew toys saved my relationship (not to mention my furniture) with my new little guy. What a clever idea! A very refreshing look at dog training, this book stand out in a field where the books often parrot tired, out-dated advice. How lovely to see Dr. Dunbar thinking outside of the box!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Much better puppy training books are available
Review: I was really disappointed with this puppy training guide. Not only did the training information sometimes conflict with virtually every other reputable puppy training guide (I have read about 10 of them) in key aspects, but the author's ego permeates the pages. It's not a pleasant reading experience for a secure mature adult woman. This guy's unprocessed masculinity and control issues don't belong in a puppy training guide! Add to these problems poor editing and barely adequate writing ability and this book is harder to like than an aggressive floor-soiling nippy chihuahua pup. Yuk! A poor investment indeed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: every puppy buyer should have to read this book!
Review: If everyone who obtained a puppy read, and followed the advice in this book, there would be far less ill mannered pets and more owners would be happy with the dogs they have raised!

I raise Rottweilers and Shiba Inu and this book is mandatory reading for all my puppy buyers!
