Now revised and updated, pet expert Shirlee Kalstone's foolproof method for housebreaking your dog is available with a fresh new look and up-to-date information.
Whether your dog is a puppy or getting on in years, whether your goal is to housebreak, paper train, or litter train, this practical, easy-to-follow plan will help you transform your pet into a dependable member of the household--in a way that works with both his innate behavioral instincts and your individual lifestyle. You'll never again have to worry about your dog acting out, feeling anxious or depressed--or ruining your brand-new rug--as you discover:
* The simple secret of successful housebreaking--understanding your dog as a den dweller
* Step-by-step programs tailored to both apartment dwellers and home owners, as well as to people who go to work, versus those who are home all day
* Schedules for training puppies and (re)training adult dogs
* How to identify your dog's natural behavioral rhythms--and use them to your advantage
* How to cope with housebreaking lapses, marking territory, separation anxiety, and health problems
* The power of praise and positive reinforcement, not punishment
Including sample schedules and timetables, and a list of related resources and websites, here is the essential, proven advice that will make training a pleasure, for both you and your dog.

 Minimal, but accurate information, overpriced November 20, 2009
Arthur Bradley (Virginia)
We bought this book to help potty train our new Golden Retriever puppy, Sadie Rose. If you're already familiar with housebreaking a dog, the book doesn't contain anything new. Simply control the puppy's eating and drinking schedule, and take him/her outside every hour to the same spot. The advice in the book is fine, please don't misunderstand. But it is a very tiny book, and the info can be readily found for free all over the web. This book would be fine for a couple dollars, but not for $7.99.

why don't they ever show this stuff on dog training shows... because you can't change the dog in only a day! you need at least 7...
Very concise and informative October 12, 2009
A. Estey
This book was concise and informative. Exactly what I was hoping for. The technique worked like a charm for my Husky puppy (11 weeks old).
I could sum this book up in one short sentence August 31, 2009

This book can be summed up in one short sentence: Take your dog outside, a lot. The book is cheaply bound and cheaply printed and reads more like an extended article or pamphlet than a scholarly tome. However, I am a complete novice in the dog-training arena, and it gave me some good "duh"-type advice. But, as several people have mentioned, you can get almost the same advice by Googling the subject. By the way, I followed the advice religiously. It's been seven (actually 10) days and the poor dog hasn't a clue. I am stepping up and finding other material for us. My best advice: Find another book and get a lot of paper towels and a good pet stain cleaner.
