Customer Reviews

First a disclaimer... National Geographic sent me a free copy of this book to review. That said, I am taking the time to go to Amazon and write this review because I thought it was a great book with lots of important information that I haven't seen in other dog training books.
The authors spend a lot of time up front discussing the responsibility of owning a dog and how to choose if a dog is even right for you and what kind to get. Great! Too many people get a dog without thinking things through. There is an excellent section on dog body language as well.
What I liked best is that the authors continued to say that you need to work with the dog you have, not the dog you wish you had. They clearly outline the basics of training manners, housebreaking, and some of the mistakes that can be made in those areas.
The layout and editing are good too. The book is set in bite sized sections with bold faced headings so you can skip around if you like, but I read it cover to cover. The writing has a good flow and there are little tidbits scattered throughout like this "At Best Friends, some adopters mistakenly believe their dogs will feel thankful for being rescued and taken to forever homes. Although the dog understands the value of a warm house and big backyard, she won't credit the adopter with the change and immediately show her gratitude by obeying every cue or signal."
I was only going to give 4 stars but then I couldn't think of any reason why a dog owner or lover wouldn't get something out of the book regardless of your training experience, so 5 it is.

Included lots of good tips from our good friends at Best Friends. They do a lot of good work with animals, pit bulls especially.
