Dog Lover get this book

When I got this book I heard about it on Oprah. I was at my wits end w/ my Jack Russel. I love him to death but we got him a moth before I had my second child so he was never properly trained, and if you know JRT's they can be stuborn. Any way I bought a few books at the local pet shop and ended up returning them cuz they wanted me to use methods I didn't agree w/. My JRT's are part of my family and I don't stick chains around my kids necks and I won't do it to my dogs. Well after only a week of some good time w/ my dog his total attitude w/ me and his manners impoved. The best thing about it was the whole time he thought we were playing. I would recommend this book to anyone who is open to kicking out the window the old way of training dogs and want to make sure your pet will love you when your done.

The Loved Dog

We own a 2 year old Vizsla dog, she is full of energy all the time. We bought 3 different books on training her, none seem to work for her or us! The Loved Dog book is a better way of training your dog, it is called *play-training*...works for our dog and us.

The Loved Dog

This is an awsome book on the care and training of dogs. I would recommend it for anyone. It is an easy read and very informative.

A Positive Perspective

I read the book first and then saw the reviews posted. I agree with all of them both positive and constructive feedback. I don't believe the extent of personal information Tamar provided was excessive and it facilitated understanding of her commitment. I do agree with the reviewer that dogs need down-time and crates are a great way to provide them with a den. I enjoyed this book for the creative and positive methods it discussed relating to dogs. It's not the be-all end-all of training books. To be well-versed in dog training is to understand all the different methods and what works/doesn't work for particular dogs. I have German Shepherds and first read How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend by the Monks of New Skete who are renowned for GSD training. Though they discuss positive relationships with their dogs, I was not comfortable with some of their methods and they didn't work on my rescued dog at all. Tamar's methods worked better for my current GSD. It's a matter of finding what methods work best for each dog. Read a number of books, including this one.

This book saved my dog!

We adopted a puppy at an unwanted pet giveaway, little knowing what we were in for. He started nipping our little girl (and us) and causing trouble. For the first few days, I was constantly stressed out by my husband (and sometimes daughter) demanding we get rid of the dog. Then I got this book--a fast, easy, and entertaining read. It immediately changed my attitude, and once I started working with and learning to love the pup, it helped everybody else. I'm not saying that everything's rosy here (mainly because I've been moving jobs and too busy to train him yet), but I didn't end up giving him away, and I believe that one day he'll be a good pet and we'll be good pet owners. I do agree, however, that the training could be more in-depth, so I ordered the DVD, which hasn't arrived yet. I can't get my five-year-old to read the book, but she can see the DVD, and so can her dad, and then we'll all be on the same page and things will get even better. Seriously, this book really changed my attitude. For that alone, it should get 5 stars, but I settled for 4 since I felt the need for more training advice. The book is wonderful.
