UNCLE MATTY'S ULTIMATE GUIDE TO DOG TRAINING : THE WOOF PAPERS

Rating:
Summary: One of the best dog training books out there now.
Review: A great book that gets you on your way to training a great to-be dog, with tips on almost all needed aspects of dog-training.

Rating:
Summary: Good info but awkwardly written anecdotes
Review: As a fan of 'Uncle Matty's" delightful television program, I was disappointed by this book. While the information about dog personalities and training techniques was good, the little anecdotes used to frame the information, which are touted as what makes it special, were very silly and unnatural. Uncle Matty and his collaborators need to get a better dialog writer.

Summary: Excellent for understanding how to teach your dog manners.
Review: This is an excellent book for the average person to understand about teaching their pet household manners so the dog is much more enjoyable for the family. Matthew Margolis has such understanding of the differences between dog personalities and how they need to be handled in teaching technique. He uses praise rather than submission - therefore the dog responds because he 'wants to please his master'. He makes the statement that it is the owners that are usually at fault for bad behavior in our animals as they don't understand how to take charge. There is no such thing as an untrainable dog!
