Dog Training For Dummies Paperback – Illustrated, April 7, 2020

I really enjoy the way the book is set up and the easy way things are explained. I will be referring back to it a lot.

With this book, it's important to add a bit of context to my situation. I am new to being a dog guardian, and I have two adult dogs with partial training (they are not extreme leash pullers -unless they see a rabbit, they are housetrained, etc), so I was not under the stress of a puppy or a dog with more significant issues (aggression towards people, etc.). I also like reading and using multiple resources (videos, etc.) So, I am not only using this book to train my dogs.I am new to training, and I found this book to be a great place to start. I like the beginning sections where you learn about dogs' overall character, their overview of the basic commands and then the chapters with the sequences of how to teach different commands. While I've successfully taught leave it, come here, touch and stay, they are not yet perfect. Sometimes, if my dog is distracted (outside), it's a hit or miss, but I notice the improvement. Reality also is that when training a dog, you learn a lot about your level of patience and your attitude towards giving up. I understood that books/videos will only be 100% effective if I am consistent. This looks like revisiting things that I thought my dogs were already great at.This is a good reference book and an excellent place to start if you like taking your time reading when learning skills.

Great information but, I was looking for a training philosophy/pragmatic approach. 121 pages in and were not training. Great info for new pet owner.

I am a former obedience instructor and this book is excellent. I have gifted it to my dog friends. Great methods.

This is a good book for a beginner. I was looking to refresh my knowledge. Methods have sure changed since I learned dog training 30 plus year ago.

I loved how easy this was to understand.

Highly recommend for people who don't have a lot of experience raising puppies or need a refresher

Awesome 👏🏻 the review was absolutely correctVery pleased with my purchase
