Product Description
Canine expert Victoria Stilwell shows readers how to train their dogs out of even the most difficult and persistent bad behaviors. Its Supernanny for your dog Victoria Stilwell is one of the worlds most recognized and respected dog trainers. As the host of Britains hit television series Its Me or the Dog and the founder of training schools on both sides of the Atlantic, she is known as much for her spunky attitude as for her caring, effective methods. Now, in her first book, Victoria shows how to tame even the most problematic dog. Simple, intuitive instructions and color photographs help dog owners not merely train their pets, but understand them -- so when a new issue arises, theyll be able to adjust their approach and nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand. Throughout, she reminds owners that training isnt about imposing their will on a dog; its about giving him the tools he needs to live in the human world. Topics include: --Think Dog: understanding your pup --Talk Dog: canine communication --Dog School: basic obedience training --Dogs Dinner: the right diet --Accidents Will Happen: house-training --Youll Never Walk Alone: exercise --Workers Playtime: having fun with your dog

 Insightful, attractive, well-presented FAQ doggie book. Answers all the Qs that a first time owner would ask and more. July 26, 2010

I am a first time dog owner and I absolutely LOVE this book. Great insights into understanding doggie behaviour, harnessing their motivation in training, meeting their needs and how they interact in the human world. Highly recommended together with Sarah Hodgson's Puppies For Dummies.
victoria stilwell is consistently wonderful June 24, 2010
Jane M. Mcinnis (TALLAHASSEE, FL, US)
After reading this book I felt much more in-touch with a dog's view, which makes my relationship with my dog clear and fair. The book is broken up into sections such as playtime, dog diet, and how to understand your dog. It breaks up dog's puppy years and teenage years, which is information any new dog owner should understand. The book is a pretty quick read, with beautiful photographs and text broken up among the pages. If every dog owner had this book it would be a wonderful world!

THis book os good for people who are dealing with learned behavior in dogs tat can be changed to help the home situation with the dog be more workable. often this is why dogs are given to shelters and not kept at home, this book can help save them from theshelter or help train a shelter dog.Autumn of Blessed Acres service dog
Love it! February 24, 2010

I'm hooked on the show and the book. We keep in our coffee table so our guests ask about the training. It helps having them ask, then we can do the training without bringing it up ourselves. We didn't have problem dogs or anything like that, we just love the way she brings the info to the table and teached you about dogs rather than just training you how to do things... you learn the why behind the actions and that makes "training" that much easier. I think this is awesome, even for someone who's had around all their life.
Victoria knows her stuff!! February 12, 2010

Anyone looking for a book that gives training and behavior guides should be looking to purchase this one! Victoria Stilwell explains the benefits of positive training methods and why they work. The book is an easy read and has plenty of illustrations.
