    The author presents several options for training situations and gives information on all stages of a dogs life. Very interesting and good information on various types of training and also has data on things like aromatherapy . . . well worth reading and a great gift for any woman thinking about adding a dog to her household.

    Finally!
    Finally a dog training book that explains training techniques in an easy, and creative manner. This book deals with realistic solutions to real problems.

    Research based?
    Given that a majority of dog trainers, and now a majority of veterinary school graduates are women, I suspect that there is no research that proves women have a harder time…

    Yes,read this book before getting that pooch.
    I’ve been counseling people on pet problems
    for many years and find it is a lack of knowledge
    on the owner’s part via acquired impractical
    dog info that does not work. This book has
    such a wealth of info.
    Info taken for granted by dog
    professionals, but much of it never revealed
    to the average pet owners.
    And yes it is the lady of the house who
    usually calls us crying “help”. for there are issues
    specific to women, the man of the house does
    not have to face.
    Single, pregnant or Mom–This book leaves
    no stome unturned with it’s guidance.
    Dog trainers, if you are reading this,
    order it for your female clients. It’ll
    make your job easier, complement your training
    program (regardless of methology) and bring harmony
    into their households.

    Yours for a better trained dog,

    It’s About Time
    I have read more dog training books then I can count. Not one has even stated corrections for offensive things dogs do to women and how to correct them. Love this book!

    Well done
    I picked up this book from Babette at a dog trainer’s conference before its release. It is well done. Simple for the layman or in this case, laywoman.

    Finally!!
    What a great book. Babette never minces words and being politically correct is not in her vocabulary. She knows dogs and writes this book from a different point of view.
