I bought this book because I recently adopted a rottweiler-lab mix puppy and I need all the help I can get. I thought this book looked like a good start. (I already have another, smaller, milder, gentler, female dog, and have trained her successfully). And I did find some good tips. But I was shocked by the author’s suggestion to hit a dog with: 1. the flat of your hand. 2. a large children’s book. 3. a “jump-bat” I thought those training methods went out with Descartes! I could never hit a dog, especially on the head, as she suggests. Those parts of the book made me literally sick to my stomach.

the technique works instantly !! My dog used to run wildly all over the house,he was so restless.After using a technique mentioned in this book,my dog doesn’t beg for food,doesn’t…
What an appalling book! You should never, ever hit your dog. If your dog has a problem that serious, you should consult a professional trainer — not listen to a book written by a woman whose training ideas are from the 1950s. These methods could also seriously injure or emotionally traumatize a small or sensitive dog.
Hitting, choking and slapping haven’t been used by intelligent trainers for decades. There are other, gentler ways (like leash corrections or clicker training) of getting your dog to behave.

Hope it’s satire
My initial reaction to this book, was, of course, outrage. I presumed that the author had either never owned a dog, or was a sadist.

outdated abusive methods
As a professional trainer running a very large training school, I’m disappointed to see that these outdated and abusive methods are still out there.

This book is GARBAGE
I train dogs for competitive obedience and I must say this is the WORST book ever written on dog training and it is certainly NOT for a novice.

wow - pretty harsh
I couldn’t bring myself to use most of the techniques in this book on my puppy. Jerking a dog’s neck hard with the leash, throwing water in his face and yanking him off his feet…

What A Wonderful Book!!
I was having problems with my puppy’s aggression. When someone would come to call, my puppy would jump up on them.

Tittle should be….”101 to beat your dog”
Yes, this book gives some excellent advice on beating your dog. The methods in this book are extremely out dated and rather harsh.
