Very easy to read and has clear explanations and wording for puppy training.

after reading this book, i was back to square one, but seemed even more confused. i know there are a great number of dog training books, i went on to look for an easier one to understand. people need to knoe that all dogs have different characters, and there must be other methods to use if one doesn’t solve the problem.

Arden is an apologist for the behaviour and reward-based approach to dog training (which she touts as the “dog-friendly revolution of the next millenium”). She spends more time trashing earlier methods of training than writing a training book of practical relevance.

I have found that it was loaded with contradictions. A very light book indeed – about 10,000 words – long enough to be a series of articles. Very little information in between her telling the reader how wonderful she and her methods were but it didn’t give any information. The only good part was the illustrations. They were very cute and nicely done.

i did not find the book very helpfull as i am having alot of problems with my dog.
Pongo is his name and he is a dalmation he wants to do the toliet inside rather than out, for example i take him out a walk and he waits till he is home again then do it in the house and he does it anywhere not just in one place.
I have tryed taking him in the garden on a lead and he will look at me then sit down then lie down when he gets bored, i could be in the garden with him for over 30 mins to 45 mins, soon as i bring him in he will pee.
could somone please give me some more tips to help me get him to pee and poop outside.
