 concerned about the 1 star reviewers August 12, 2009
Wynn Schulz
very sad that some might think this book is a serious one and review it as such.
Taken in the vein it's intended, it's great - and was a great engagement gift from one of my bestest friends.
 For training women, too! August 11, 2009

I love this book!!!
Great for training women, too. Sit, roll over, play dead! My girlfriend loves it when I put her leash and collar on and oil up her "coat" before playing a little "fetch".
She belongs at my side, on all fours! What a wonderful bitch!

Women,
Instead of buying this book, maybe you should get back in the kitchen and cook your man some dinner. That would make him shape up much more than reading this book and bitching all the time. Man Day!

You know, demeaning and demoralizing men as dogs really isn't helping make the case for gender equality. In case you are too dense or bitter to realize it, this author is encouraging the same mentality as the male chauvinist types who expect their women to be subservient and submissive. I think people who actually buy into this type of excrement need to take a good, hard look at why they feel so horrible about themselves, and what their real purpose in life is.

I read this book after reading an article in News week discussing the authors views on behavior modification for men. I do not write reviews, but I was very disappointed and upset while reading the damaging instructions that are given in this text. If you value yourself and the men in your life you will not perpetuate or endorse the outrageous thinking and behavior this book employed. I am ashamed of myself for purchasing the book. I thought surely it would be written in fun and not as a manual to alter a man's character. It should not need to be said, but I feel it needs to be, women should treat men with respect and value who they are and not change them. Woman who feel justified in manipulating men to act a certain way are controlling and devalue the relationships between men and woman. The instructions detailed in this text are irresponsible and demeaning to both genders. A man should be loved and celebrated for who he is and not be forced to change. If a woman is not happy with a man than she needs to leave the relationship and work on making herself happy. The only person any individual can change is themselves. It takes a lifetime to create yourself and work on behaviors, beliefs, and choices that need to be adjusted and revised to make yourself happy and healthy. Each person should focus on the work they need to do on themselves to be a better person instead of focusing on changing others. It is very narcissistic for any person to try to impose their will on another. No one needs to compromise who they are to satisfy anyone else. Everyone has the right to be who they are and choose to live the life they want that makes them happy. Encouraging women to think that men live for the sole purpose to serve their wives or girlfriends and must bend to a woman's will is irresponsible and fails to tell the truth about the value of men and what they contribute to meaningful relationships. The world and everyone living in it will be much better served when we collectively work on ourselves and stop trying to change others and accept everyone for who they are.
