Updated 2nd edition is even better than the first!

As a dog trainer/behavior specialist, I have had Paul Owens' original version of this book in my collection for years. I always appreciated his non-violent approach to training. Now we have an updated, even better 2nd edition! Paul takes the time to explain why and how positive training methods work. In his "Nine Ingredients for Optimum Health & Growth" he talks about meeting your dog's basic needs such as nutrition, play, mental stimulation, and other things that set the stage for successful training. The section on how to "speak dog" and communicate with your dog is invaluable. The more a person understands about how to communicate with their dog, the less need there is for any type of force. The actual training section is well layed out, taking the reader from "grade school level" through "high school level". I like this approach, as it makes it simple to build on the exercise as the dog gets better at it. The book is peppered with helpful illustrations, well-written, enjoyable, and packed with useful information. Highly recommended! - Nicole Wilde, author Help for Your Fearful Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide to Helping Your Dog Conquer His Fears and So You Want to be a Dog Trainer (2nd edition)

Great resource!

My lab mix is extremely shy, and I struggled for months to find any information to help me train such a sensitive dog. This Dog Whisperer book was at the top of my trainer's list. It's given me a lot of insight into my dog, and the training games are fun for both of us. I'm looking forward to using this book for a long time, and I'm confident it will help my dog be the best dog he can be.

It Works!

I have followed all the techniques in the book and I have to say they are truly amazing, and they really do work! This book is a must have for all dog owners and even parents who just want to learn about better communication all around!

It Works!

I have been training my dogs using Paul's methods for almost nine years. I find his methods to be humane, effective and a lot of fun for my dogs. At present I am taking classes while referring to his wonderful book and DVD and I am experiencing amazing results through the raise with praise methods. Paul is a sensitive kind and spiritual person and this shines through in hid DVD and through his writings. I highly recommend his methods of training, his book and his DVD.

Easy, fast training in a loving manner!

This book is fantastic! I read this book and had my dog sitting and lying down in minutes without using a choke collar. It's easy to follow the instructions and there are some really informative sections. You won't need any other dog training book, ever!
