 Dog training at its' best, this book is excellent! July 12, 1999
57 out of 59 found this review helpful
I've had dogs all my life and I've read many books on dog training and this one is my favorite. I used Benjamins' method to train my last two dogs, and I can honestly say the results were wonderful. Written with humor and insight, this book is easy to read and very educational. Whether you are a fisrt time puppy owner or have an older dog, this book has something for you. Benjamin gives plenty of information that helps you understand your dogs' perspective and makes training fun for both you and your dog. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in raising their dog to be a loving, life-long companion.
A wonderfully fun, common-sense approach for dog training. June 16, 1999

The author does a wonderful job of describing natural, human, common-sense ways of traing a dog--and it works! Her wonderful sense of humor makes it a joy to read.
A "Must-Own" for anyone who loves a dog! December 31, 1998

If you've ever wished you could speak with your dog in his own language, here's your chance. By emulating your dog's very first teacher...his mother...you can teach him gently and effectively in a way that he will understand at the deepest level. What makes this method particularly humane is the fact that your pup KNOWS what you are asking of him...no mixed signals, no misinterpretation, no fear or confusion. Doctor Dolittle, meet Carol Lea Benjamin! Highly recommended.
Simply THE Best! December 29, 1998

I own a full library of dog books and of all the training methods I've studied, Carol's is definitly the best. Mother Knows Best gives a logical approach to raising a canine companion. Scattered throughout the book are humerous quips and cartoons in addition to the easy to read format. Benjamin's training methods are humane and appropriate for any dog. She provides many solutions to common problems and gives suggestions on correct ways to discipline and reward according to your dog's temperment. Her book contains a house training schedule for puppies as well as puppy manners and obedience. I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone. I only wish I could give it MORE than 5 stars!
 Sort of old fashioned training methods. September 6, 1998
4 out of 14 found this review helpful
I was a bit disappointed with this book. It was recommended to me by a friend, but I don't think I would pass it along. The methods are a bit harsh and certainly what I would call outdated.
