2 stars (Cautious of this book on canines) - I don't feel this book has a workable solution to the problem. It is a method that requires much more than most people can give to the problem. The book is actually a booklet and the cost was too much for what it offers. 2 stars (Nice Magazine Article) - I guess I should have noticed the "29 pages" in the description. It's 15 pages of 8x10 paper folded in half, two staples, and a cover. That works out to 19.83 cents per page. Amazon's paperback "War and Peace" [$10.46] at 1472 pages would cost $291.95 if published by Dr. McConnell. Calling this a book or booklet seems a little much. Perhaps "pamphlet" is a better descriptor. 5 stars ( The Cautious Canine ) - Brilliant little book. Did not teach me anything new in the way of sit, down, stay but gave me a plan to follow with my 2yr old abused, re-homed (for the third time) Rottweiler. With in 7 days and many treats she gave me her first glance when one of her many 'triggers' (other dogs, running children, fast bikes, strange men) came close. A sure sign we were going in the right direction. If you have a dog that will not listen to you while on your walks and lunges for other dogs YOU NEED THIS BOOK! ...

5 stars (Good Dog Stories, Funny, Touching, True) - This is a great book, made me laugh a lot, hard to put down if you like reading a good dog story, and it's title is true. This is the story of how a dog gave the author and her family the priceless challenges of owning a dog - a hound at that, love, joy (when she wasn't running into a busy street), and how she saved the lives of other dogs, and even inspired her owner to write this wonderful book for the world to read. There are also stories of other people and their dogs. Very well-written and it made me laugh throughout. 5 stars (What the Dog Did: Tales from a Formerly Reluctant Dog Owner) - This is the funniest book over all that I have ever read! There are some sad parts, letting you know how cruel people can be to animals, but for the most part, I laughed so long and hard, I broke a blood vessel in my nose which caused a nose bleed!! It was worth it, however! I would recommend this book highly, if you are an animal lover. Vicki G, Elk River, MN 5 stars (Laughing all the way to the pound) - This book will do just that to you...have you laughing, and going to the pound to find a wonderful dog to save. Having gotten my beagle from BREW, the rescue organization featured a few times in this book, I felt a special connection to what Yoffe wrote, but even without that connection, this book will please you to no end if you're a dog person in the least. Her stories will hit home, make you laugh, and make you want to go over and give a big hug to your dog for being the wonderful creature he/she is. I highly recommend this book. ...

5 stars (How to be the Leader of the Pack...And have Your Dog Love You For It.) - Excellent service, great condition. I would use them again. 5 stars (Excellent Introduction) - This pamphlet is a wonderful introduction into developing a the leader relationship with your family's canine companion. It introduces the concept of NILIF "Nothing In Life is Free", a positive training method used to place humans in the alpha role of the pack. It is also often used on proven aggressive dogs, but is better to do it right from the start. I would not recommend using the pamphlet as the sole source for training the family dog, but it's an excellent start. A very fast read with easy, understandable language. Highly recommended. Excellent gift for every new dog owning family. 3 stars (Simple instructions but a bit brief) - I didn't learn anything new from this booklet but it covers the basics that a first time dog owner may not know. Its size makes it great to carry around or to pass along to someone who needs it. I found it was easier to give to a friend who's dog rules the house and hopefully it didn't seem too pushy. It seems less offensive if you drop off a simple booklet rather than burying them under a huge book outlining all the things they're doing wrong with a pet. Its great at home too because I can leave this lying around in our living room and certain family members may actually read something this short. However, the fact that its very brief means it should probably not be the only book read on the topic. Hopefully it will interest them enough to go find out more. I'd call it a portable, quick reference guide. ...
