If you want to run your home like a British kindergarten and raise your dogs to be proper gentle folk, you might like this little advisory. But if I were going to run my "pack" like this, I wouldn't bother having dogs.

After following the advice in this book for a week, my wife and I were ready to get rid of our new, second dog. A neighbor with multiple dogs, thank God, said, "You're reading too much. Let them be dogs." We listened. The dogs are happier and so are we.

What's worth reading in here, you can find in McConnell's much cheaper "How to Be the Leader of Your Pack."
