 If you love your dog, buy and read this book February 1, 2009

I have tried Lew Burke's tactics on a miniature pinscher. Now walking her is pleasant and I'm less afraid of her bolting. If you have trouble with your dog, are getting a dog or thinking about it, buy this book. Domesticated dogs need us to give them the guidance Lew Burke teaches. Your dog will respect you and love you for it.

I bought it, the book I received has a superior cover & binding (so it will last a lifetime), and Mr. Burke's approach is right on target. I've bought several animal training books and videos. This one is certainly on the top tier simply because of the way Mr. Burke educates one on how the dog is probably understanding what the trainer is doing. In other words, if your dog is confused about what you want it to do, it may do nothing at all. But if you can make it clear to the dog what is expected, it will most likely be happy to oblige.
I would suggest it to a friend.
THE BEST DOG TRAINING BOOK EVER!!! August 5, 2008
Nelson E. Donley (Whittier, CA)
Have you ever seen Lew Burke's German shepherd, Buddy? If so, then you know that this dog trainer is the real McCoy. Buddy could do almost anything, including math. He was as gentle as a lamb but could become a police dog at a moment's notice.
When I got my own German shepherd, Heidi, I studied Burke's book religiously. I quickly gained her total trust and eventually she learn every trick in Burke's book save for the numbers trick, which she could have learned had I pursued it with her.
I do not know where these doggone idiots got their crazy notions that Lew Burke is a sadist. My dog became the best trained dog in the city of Whittier. When I take her for long walks through the city, Heidi heals at my side without wearing a lease. I take her to nursing homes to be petted by the residents. Heidi also loves to play with children. She is the most beloved dog in the neighborhood. Finally, I came home one evening and found a baby bird between Heidi's front legs. She was protecting it.
THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST BOOK ON DOG TRAINING I HAVE EVER READ. THERE IS A CHAPTER ON ATTACK TRAINING. LEW BURKE PROVIDES THIS INFORMATION BUT WITH A STERN WARNING. I took my dog, Heidi, through this phase very carefully, but I wouldn't recommend you doing this.
I only wish that you could have seen Lew & Buddy on such shows as Merv Griffin, Johnny Carson, and so forth. Then, you would be able to see the truth for yourself instead of reading a lot of huey from people who don't know a damn thing about dog training.

I have not fully read this book, but i sent my dog to Lew Burke for training for a month and a half. My dog was very violent before i sent him to Lew. The change was unbelievable and believe me Lew does not use violence -he loved my dog as much as me and my wife. He calls about every other month just to follow up and ask how his "baby" is. Anything that Lew Burke says or writes about dogs should be followed as close as possible, this man knows how to connect with an animal closer than i believed was possible. Thanks "Uncle" Lew...
 Promoting Animal Cruelty! May 22, 2004

We adopted a pound puppy twelve years ago. She passed away this week. Our one regret is that we read this abominable book when she was a pup. Thank goodness we saw the damage we were doing to our innocent pet and threw the book in the trash before writing to the publisher.Lew Burke promotes animal cruelty. He suggests using a "training collar" which stabs the dog in the neck when he/she does something "wrong." He tells you to hide a small whip behind your back while training your dog, and to pull it out and smack the dog with it when the dog misbehaves. Mr. Burke also suggests that, for instance, if your puppy chews plants (as many do), that the owner stuff the dog's mouth full of plantlife and then tie the mouth shut and tie the dog up on the shortest leash possible. And that's only the beginning. Anyone out there who cares about any living creature, especially their pet, will avoid this book like the plague!
