Product Description
Abandoning traditional training methods, which tend to use punishment and physical dominance, progressive dog-trainer Cristine Dahl incorporates studies of animal behavior and humane treatment into an approach called Learning Theory. Though Learning Theory is the top method suggested by the SPCA, a practical guide has not yet been published for dog-owners. Here it is — penned by a recognized dog-training authority and filled with in-depth, step-by-step instructions, and organized by behavior problems.

Good Basics October 25, 2009

This book is well written and addresses the basics in dog training. They also talk about the different styles of training which gives an interesting perspective.
Great dog training book July 27, 2009
A. Guy (Seattle, WA USA)
Cristine Dahl, is in my extended family (cousin's cousin). Its great to talk to her and i enjoy her book. I will soon be getting a puppy and will be using this book for training my new puppy. I have also taught my older dog to learn finally how to behave on a leash and drop a ball. Thanks Cristine.
Excellent reference book for every dog owner! January 22, 2009
Faith (Seattle, WA USA)
This book is a must have for every dog owner; those who are just starting out and for those who think they might know-it-all. Seriously, who doesn't want to own a well mannered dog: one that is a joy to take out in public and who has learned how to act politely when visitors drop by unannounced. I know I do!
Cristine Dahl has provided the dog loving community with a book that can teach even the most novice dog owner how to have a well trained dog, while also learning a little of the history behind it. She also guides the dog owner on how to deal with some of the more advanced problem behaviors. Dahl has a solid grounding in animal learning theory, therefore her methods are humane. She also speaks in a language that is both intelligent and easily understandable to the layperson, and her love for dogs is obvious.
Must Have Dog Book for All Dog Owners November 20, 2008

This is a must have book for all dog owners, whether you are a seasoned owner of an older mutt, or the proud new parent of a new puppy. The book can be read cover-to-cover or used as a manual to easily access a specific topic. We recently had a problem with our older dog who bit a child. She had never done this before and the book helped us understand some of the possible reasons she did this, signs to look for in the future, as well as precautions that we need to take. I recommended the book to another friend who had a dog with a barking problem. Yet another friend recently told me that the book helped her potty train her new puppy after trying so many other techniques. More than anything else, the book helped her understand what went wrong with those other techniques. The book provides not only practical advice about various issues, but it also helps you better understand the dog's behavior. I plan to get a copy for each of my friends who are adopting new dogs.
Great if you've got a puppy, good also for adult dogs August 15, 2008
New puppy owner
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I never had a puppy before, just adult rescue dogs. When I got my 8 week-old puppy, I was unprepared for his crying and howling when left in his crate, or his needle sharp teeth when playing. I got this book just in time! It solved the problem of crying in his crate, and now he is a pleasure to play with (I found out all about bite inhibition training!). Many of these things are important to know about while the pup is young. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a dog of any age, but especially to anyone considering getting a puppy. The author presents a style of training that is logical and very kind, and promotes a great relationship between you and your dog!
