 A must have October 27, 2002

This book is full of clever tips that made housebreaking very effective. We used the tip on teaching our dog to ring the bell when she needs to go out. I also appreciated the section on cleaning up messes to prevent future problems. It is an easy to read book full of useful information.

The first 21 pages of the book are filler, and add no value on housebreaking your dog. The book does not follow the course of housebreaking your dog to go outdoor. Instead, the book uses a "break your dog on paper in the house" before taking that accomplishment outside. Trust me, you are better off to do it right (outside) first. The book fudges on its step-by-step program by acknowledging that all dogs are different, hence no one program fits all. What about average length of time a 9 week can hold his/her bladder during the night? These and many other tips are absent. The book is very basic.

Carr & Davis are obviously "dog-knowledgable" and offer many details to their basic three step training process. I especially liked their attempts to break myths such as rubbing a dog's nose in it's "mistake" will let the dog know what is not consider proper dog behavior. Also, they help explain such behaviors as to why dogs sometimes piddle when excited or when their owner comes in the house to greet them. I wish I had read this book before I attempted to housetrain my own dogs!
