Written by Gerilyn Bielakiewicz, cofounder of Canine University, this book takes you through dog training from beginning to end with tricks for every dog and owner. No matter the intelligence of your dog or the number of behavior problems, this book will give you the tools you need to train your dog and create a much closer bond. The steps in this book take time, but if you, like me, want to spending the money on or altering your entire life to attend puppy training classes, then this is the book for you. There are great tips and tricks within this tome and it is very user friendly and easy to use. You will have to spend time working with your dog, but you can do so over time and grow according to your dog's natural growth instead of a predictated pace as in training courses. More good news, there is no bad time to train your dog. No matter how old the dog is, you can start training today and make a significant difference in your life and the life of your dog. When you are finished training, you will be closer to your dog and you will have a happier and healthier relationship and a happier and healthier dog.Read full review
This is a great dog training manual! It focuses primarily on step by step basics which is what my dog and I needed most. Many other books and DVDs spend too much time discussing the "pack" mentality and general behavior information. This book provides that as well, but really addresses the specific "How To" steps to training. The author teaches how to utilize positive management tools instead of reactive punishment which has made for a happier training experience for my dog and I. Also, use of the clicker technique and treats has done wonders. We got our 1 1/2 yr old dog at a shelter and she had very limited training. She is turning out to be a fabulous dog who walks on a leash now, jumps up on people less (still working on that), comes when called, sits, can fetch, shake, chews her toys instead of mine and so much more. GREAT BOOK in my opinion and I think my dog Sohpie would agree.Read full review
My new puppy is smarter than me. She can open her wire crate doors, jumps a three foot baby gate, climbed over a five foot stack of two baby gates and many other things I have yet to learn. This book is helping me to understand my high energy puppy and the need for me to learn how to train her. She and I will be going into training in the near future. In the meantime the book is a valuable resource for me.

This book is great for DIY puppy training. It’s been quite some time since I’ve raised a puppy and this book is great for a refresher along with some run tricks to teach the furbasby.
