101 Dog Tricks: Step by Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog


by: Kyra Sundance, Chalcy
This a great book of ideas for tricks that might work for you and your dog if its a large breed and you are already successful at training your dog. The "step-by-step" directions are weak, with little on how to resolve any issues.

The section on retrieving a beer (search on "beer" with Look Inside for page 74) is deceptively simple in a critical step with, "Place the beer can on a low shelf in an open, uncluttered refrigerator and have your dog fetch it." Yep, that's the step-by-step training for that part! .


How to Housebreak Your Dog in 7 Days (Revised)


by: Shirlee Kalstone
I will advise the reader to buy the book before getting the puppy. READ IT!!! and think if you are ready to do what its needed... if you are still COOL with the idea.
This is the BEST 7.99 you have spent in a long time. Adopt the schedule that best suits your style and star doing in it from day one. The schedule will help you and the puppy to get ready for the paper training, out door o whatever you decide.
I have trained TWO shelties using this book, and on the first day. I GOT POSITIVE RESULTS, becuase I adopted a schedule from day one.


The Art of Raising a Puppy


by: The Monks of New Skete
I have read tons of other training guides, and while I found this book a good read, it was not exactly helpful in terms of training. It focused more on their monastery, stories about dogs they trained, and the birthing process of a German Shepherd. Mind you, I'm big GSD lover so I enjoyed this book, but I wish I had purchased another book for more tips on training.
Some of the tips offered are great and work well, but there should have been more. But do keep in mind the book's title! "The ART of Raising a Puppy," not "HOW to Raise a Puppy.
