When Good Dogs Do Bad Things (Paperback)
From Library Journal
Both Siegal and Margolis have written other dog books on pet selection, training, and behavior. This particular title brings together their suggestions on handling specific behavior problems of individual dogs. While none of the ideas is especially innovative (consisting of analyzing the problem, looking for its roots, then using reconditioning techniques and obedience training methods to overcome the unwanted behavior), they are so clearly and positively presented that they will be most useful for a harried owner. Further, the authors emphasize the need to recognize the personality of the individual dog before choosing a correction. This readable, instructive book would be a good public library selection.

This book was an easy read and I read it in a couple of hours. It had great information that I have found very useful with my 16 week old puppy. I have learned that I need to be more patient and understand that some dogs will take a little longer to come around but it is a worth while endeavor. I have seen results with my pooch over the past week or so but it takes time, patience, and a full commitment to training your pooch to be well behave and an active member of your family. This book is not a quick fix but an aid to help you understand what has to be done to bring up a happy well adjusted pooch. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about getting a dog or who is serious about training their dog to be productive and not destructive.
5.0 out of 5 stars
chewing
This dog is a very loveable dog But all she wants to do is chew every thing. she knows she does wrong. But cant break of this habit. It is a rotweiler an a liottle over a year old?
I really liked the format of this book and how it breaks up the reasons why a dog could be misbehaving. However, I’m not one to advocate jerking a choke collar because I believe there are less violent methods of correction–they do indicate hitting is bad. A better read would be Catch Your Dog Doing Something Right, or Reading the Dog’s Mind, or any Stanley Coren book.
