Product Description
One Important Reason for the success of the human/dog relationship is the dog's ability to adapt to human environments and requirements. Housetraining is a prime example, but when humans "humanize" housetraining, points out the Evans Guide, the result is havoc. Now, for all puppies and older dogs and their owners, celebrated dog trainer Job Michael Evans presents a sensible, effective approach to do the job once, fast and right. The author's Access system is a powerful tool that gets the results you want. Learn how to give a "correction with a connection" so Rascal knows his mistake and not to repeat it. The support you need to succeed, in the form of handy schedules, summary sheets, photos and diagrams are all included. There are also important, special chapters for trainers, breeders, pet store operators and shelter personnel to help clients with housetraining. With understanding and humor, Job Michael Evans guides you through the housetraining process to move you and your dog to a lasting partnership—the human/dog relationship as it was meant to be.

 Having Problems Housetraining Your Dog?? December 19, 2007
Paints4me (Nunn, CO)
Checked this book out first from my local library. Was so impressed with the advise in it that I bought it. Clear easy to follow training advise. Also an explanation of WHY dogs do what they do, beginning with the whelping of the pups. The author trained dogs in a monastery for years and has many success stories to back up his methodology... No shortcuts here - just sound advise.
Still current after all these years October 24, 2007
SAHM and happy (Oakland, CA USA)
NOt sure why one reviewer mentions positive and negative reinforcement since Evans clearly states the need for ongoing positive reinforcement. In addition I just shelled out $150 for training which gave almost identifical recommendations regarding how to motivate your dog. I love this book. After 4 days my dog has already gotten the message and we have not yet had an accident today. I'm happy with this purchase! It appears that Evans was the "first", and probably still the best. I wish he was still publishing now!
The BEST March 31, 2006

If you follow this method, it's flawless. I've recommended this book to no less than 25 people, and no one has said it doesn't work. It's short, to the point, and if you consistantly follow it, you will have a housetrained dog in no time.
 Outdated techniques March 20, 2006

While there are some good tips in this book, I find most of the training methods to be outdated. The conventional wisdom these days is that positive reinforcement, not physical discipline, is the most effective dog training method. I would agree with today's conventional wisdom. There are many more up to date books on the subject of canine house training available today. No need to spend your money on this one.
Most effective house-training book I've seen September 13, 2001
J. Hardy (Columbia, MD USA)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Clearest, easiest, most effective house-training book I've seen. I had a lot of trouble house-training my dog: it was my first dog, and a shelter puppy, plus I had a roommate trying to housetrain a dog of his own and we didn't see eye-to-eye on how to do housetraining. Difficult situation: it dragged on for months, with ruined carpets etc. I picked up this book, and I swear resolved the situation very quickly after that. Good stuff.
