i’ve read lots of books on training puppies, and this is hands down the best. I was a little surprised to discover the author is not only an expert on canine psychology, but a terrific writer. if I threw out all my other dog books and just kept this one, I’d be fine. The author is a prolific and accomplished writer in many genres, and has had extensive experience training animals at all levels. If you wanna learn from a super smart, very experienced expert, who is also really funny, then you’re lucky to find this book.

this book has really interesting information that helps you train your dog!! It works for me so far. I was able to teach my 4 month old puppy to bring me his toy when i trow it! it might not be all the time but he is learning. "your puppy is eager to learn, so be patient with him, and make training fun."(Bonoham 116), this is so true because my puppy gets distracted easily.
the purpose of this book is to inform people of how to train their dogs easily.
i would recommend this book to people who have no idea of what having a dog is because it gives you information about shots, tags, ways to treat them and helps you understand how a dog thinks. really helpful information that makes having a dog a nice lifelong experience.
