Summary: Works on my dogs!
Review: We have three dogs in our family--two pitbulls and a cocker spaniel. Kate Decker's "101 Tips for Training YOur Dog" has become our Bible. Her advice has helped us prevent one dog from chewing up the carpet, another dog from constantly vomiting, and another from barking while we're away (and annoying the neighbors). We've love our animals and feel the author shares that feeling. This book taught us a lot about how dogs behave and how they interact with people.

Summary: Abusive methods
Review: What an appalling book! You should never, ever hit your dog. If your dog has a problem that serious, you should consult a professional trainer -- not listen to a book written by a woman whose training ideas are from the 1950s. These methods could also seriously injure or emotionally traumatize a small or sensitive dog.Hitting, choking and slapping haven't been used by intelligent trainers for decades. There are other, gentler ways (like leash corrections or clicker training) of getting your dog to behave.

Summary: Tittle should be...."101 to beat your dog"
Review: Yes, this book gives some excellent advice on beating your dog. The methods in this book are extremely out dated and rather harsh. The section on "Jumping up on people" is extremely alarming, acording to this book you should knee your dog in the chest and hit them over the head with books, if this method doesn't work then you should stomp on the dogs foot. If you knee a dog in the chest you will kill them, they do not have the protection around their organs like we do therefore you could seriously damage and possibly kill your dog using these methods of training. Please don't buy this garbage.
