This is the best book I have read dealing with the important, but often overlooked, subject of establishing the correct relationship with your puppy. It does an excellent job of teaching what makes a dog tick. It describes how through the consistent application of a simple set of rules and methods, you can establish a successful relationship based on understanding and affection.

Through the understanding of the canine temperament, and the application of the process detailed in this book, my wife and I were able to take a young puppy rescued off the street and help her mature into a happy, well-behaved member of our family. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Dave Guild trained both of my dogs, who were both strays, to become the warmest, sweetest, most loving, playful and obedient dogs I have ever had.

Most importantly, Dave Guild trained me how to train them. I took three courses with him, and credit Dave with insuring the safety of my dog’s life. I am forever grateful.

If you love dogs, you have a duty to read this book, follow it through, and loan it to your pet-owning friends. It’s invaluable. I know, because I used to breed Airedales, and I wish I knew then what I know now.

I have had the pleasure of knowing David Guild for the past 14 years. His methods of training makes sense, and have a wonderful, lasting effect on your pet. This book is like a breath of fresh air for a puppy owner. It provides an ingenious perspective into the minds of both the puppy and the puppy owner. It’s easy to read, understand, and has an element of humor that makes it fun.

The outline is easy to follow with many examples and stories which grip the interest of the reader. The purpose behind his methods are clear and concise. Simply put, it makes sense, and the results speak for themselves.

I’ve used the methods outlined in this book on my own puppy and she’s happier and better behaved at 7 months than most 7-year-old dogs. Read this book if you want a puppy who will grow up to be a very happy dog, that will not only know the rules, but will live by them with excitement and exuberance for the duration of its life.
