I ordered this book because I was familiar with it from work. In the Adoptions department at our local SPCA we have a small library for the adoptions counselors and kennel workers. When I read the excellent section of the book on Housebreaking, I decided I HAD to have a copy of my own as I knew the other sections would be just as good. The section on Housebreaking spells out step-by-step how to lovingly train your new dog or puppy. Crate training is also explained, as well as Submission Training, Introductions to your other household pets, and a easily understandable introduction to Dog Health and Parasites. This book is an absolute treasure specifically written for the new or potential dog owner. I truly love this book and have added it to my own library along with the author's other book, Compatible Canines: Keeping the Peace Among Your Pets - both of which seem to be out-of-print.

Inspires confidence in the new dog owner

I recently borrowed this book from my library, and I must ownit! It offers honest, practical advice covering all aspects ofadopting these very special animals. I have wanted to get a dog butwas apprehensive about looking at shelter dogs until I read this book. It has inspired confidence in my ability to train and provide the proper atmosphere that my new pet will need!

Excellent!

Everything one needs to know about making a first class pet out of a shelter dog.

This is an excellent book for someone adopting a shelter dog

I bought this book and found it very helpful in dealing with specific issues raised by adopting older dogs as well as puppies. It was very realistic and offered down to earth solutions that work. I have several dozen dog training books and I found this one to be the most helpful in dealing with specific issues like housetraining and aggression problems. I lent my copy of the book to a friend and I'm need to order more copies for other friends looking for this type of book.
