comment on Kindle edition, 2008-12-13
I'm on day 6 of life with my first puppy, and just started reading this book, so can't provide a real review although it seems promising (includes quite a bit of general training information as well as more thorough info on housetraining.)

One annoyance though: no effort has been made to make the various charts and tables readable on the kindle. It looks like table formatting has just been stripped, leaving random text scattered over several pages. So far, the tables just summarize information that is included in the body text, so it's not a huge deal.

In other kindle books I've purchased, charts or tables are inserted in an image format, which creates its own problem since the text is typically quite small and can't be enlarged via the kindle's font size selector.

I wish that Amazon (or the publishers, which ever is responsible) would make the minimal effort to ensure that kindle editions have some usable formatting for charts and tables.

Lots of information, easy to understand, and fun to read, 2008-06-01
As a dog trainer, I often suggest people read Housetraining for Dummies before hiring me to do a housetraining consultation. The book covers far more information than I could go over in an hour. If after reading the book, they're still having problems (usually they aren't), I'm happy to set up an appointment.

Gotta say I don't like calling people "dummies" though. It's hard for me to tell a client that they need to read a book for dummies. Seems insulting.

But the book itself is quite good so I apologize for the title and recommend it anyway.

fine for puppy owner, not for adult dog owner, 2007-04-25
This book has some great ideas and I believe that they do work, that is why I gave the book 4 stars. For me, however, it didn't work. I have an adult dog and I felt a lot of the tips were geared more toward puppies and the normal puppy potty training. My dog goes to the bathroom in secret and usually in the early morning hours when I can't see her. Putting her in a crate overnight would probably emotionally damage her not to mention keep our entire family up all night with her crying (she's way too used to sleeping with us at night). Maybe I'm just not consistent enough or something, I don't know, I guess I'm just looking for that " magic pill" that will instantly train my dog! If anyone finds one, please give me a call!

Ummm-I think the dog just has to want to do the correct thing. Good ideas in the book but it didn't work for us, but we have 7 dogs.

Housetraining for Dummies, 2006-06-29
I was pleased with the format of this book, and the simple instructions ands explainations. I bought it to help me train my new puppy, and it was very useful. I'm not exactly a pro at dog training. This book made a big difference.
