 A beautiful book! October 5, 2001

I've read many dog training books but never anything like this one. This boog goes far beyond simply training your dog for obedience. It's about REALLY communicating with your dog.
I've had dogs before and enjoyed them, but I never thought they can actually communicate - in the broader sense of the word.
'Mother knows best' changed my whole perspective on dogs, and taught me that a dog can, and should have, a vocabulary that can grow with time.
I have a wonderful little pup that I picked up from the street.
He's seven months old now and he already knows so many words.
Whenever I go to the park with him I'm the envy of all other dog owners. He comes immediately when called, knows how to sit and stay, and so much more. There's no bigger pleasure than being able to let him run free, without a leash, knowing that he won't run away, run to the road, or fight with other dogs.
A wonderful wonderful book!!
 Too scattered October 16, 2000

Like the concept, didn't like the book. Author spends too much time belaboring the basic premise (mother knows best). Actual advice is scattered, disorganized. Few readers need to know how she publicized her first puppy training class. Strongly preferred "The Art of Raising a Puppy" by Monks of New Skete.
A classic June 14, 2000

I raised two dogs using techniques from this book (including one that came to me at two years old ! ). I have never had to raise a hand to them and people constantly comment on how they obey my voice. This is the one book I recommed to all new owners of dogs. A great investment !
 Good book for new puppy owners April 5, 2000

This book is very well written and easy to read. Full of sound advice to help train your dog. Although I do not agree with the slip collar and jerk method, as I prefer a prong collar, I found the rest of the book extremely helpful.

I used this book to train my dog over 10 years ago. I enjoyed reading the book and it helped to make Chelsea one of the sweetest most well behaved dogs I know. This book is full of common-sense ideas for training your dog and it is so well written. If you're training a dog or you just love animals, this book is wonderful!
