21 Days to Train Your Dog: Learn how any dog can be taught the basics of obedience training in just a few minutes each day (Hardcover)
From Booklist
As the author points out, well-trained dogs are welcomed into the world at large because their behavior can be controlled. But how do we learn to control our dogs and to teach them to behave in a manner that makes them good canine citizens? Tennant, a longtime dog trainer, emphasizes that training is a preventive measure–a dog that consistently obeys commands and knows its place in the hierarchy is a dog that can be fully trusted. The first step of his training program, the Leadership Program, teaches the owner how to become the dominant member of the family pack. When leadership has been established, it is much easier to teach a dog the standard commands (sit, stay, come, heel). The author starts his section on specific training techniques with advice on the psychology of puppies. The final sections outline the schedule for the author’s 21-day training plan and offer details on the training of specific behaviors. This very nice introduction to dog training, well illustrated with clear photos, belongs in all collections. Nancy Bent

This book won’t help
Saturday Dogs…and the owners they trained
This book won’t teach you how to get immediate results.
This book is very informative, and a must have if you want to work with your dog without paying a professional trainer. The picture illustrations are a perfect compliment to the written instructions. I especially liked the detail given about other obedience issues such as dog language and how aggression begins between dogs. This book is a permanent addition to our living room reading material!

Received my book in a timely fashion. Have been working with my Great Dane with this book and is working well. Excellent purchase choice.
Clear, direct guidance. The author recognizes that dogs are not equals, they need training to be obedient and keep them safe as well as make them socially welcome. A good, practical book.
The consise information was helpful in training our two dogs. It worked for the older dog much to our surprise.
