I recently got a new puppy after not having one for many years. I thought I'd brush up on new training techniques and "non-violent" sounded good. I read the book before I brought her home and everything has worked beautifully! All the advice, techniques and training have been fantastik and I would highly recommend this book. I've had my pup now for a little over 2 weeks and there has been 1 accident in the house - really! It has made puppy ownership a joy instead of a pain. Thanks Paul!

Very useful book. Wish I would have had it before I got our puppy.

I used Paul's book to train my puppy and it has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done! His methods are completely reward based and compassion driven so there's no using pinch or choke collars, something I am very opposed to. I have have had great success overcoming all the normal puppy issues such as potty training, nipping, separation anxiety, and digging by using Paul's methods.

All in all I can't say enough good things about this book!

I loved this book. It is very helpful and easy to read. I highly recommend it!

This book is it! Five stars quality!
We got "The Puppy Whisperer" with the hope of getting an overall guide to training our new puppy full of energy. We were amazed at how detailed and full of great advice this book is. Paul Owens explains the bare bones of dog training technique while maintaining a style full of warmth and compassion which makes for a perfect combination helping to train the puppy to be an obedient and loving companion.
Definitely recommended for people who want an easy to use tool and a serious method.

I am not a professional dog trainer and found this book to be very helpful in dealing with some basic behavioral issues I have been having with my goldendoodle. It gives good direct instructions on how to deal with specific problems. It is far better than a few other books I have read rectently, but you may want to look at "Puppy Perfect" by Sarah Hodgson as some of its training methods seemed more practical than this one.

I thought that the book was very good. I have been using the training guides on our new puppys. It is a slow process but we are getting there.
So I guess you can say we are a work in process.
I know you will enjoy this book very much.And has some very helpful advise on working with your dog.
When I have a problem I refer back to it often.

The Puppy Whisperer is the only book you need to raise a happy, well-adjusted and well-trained puppy. Paul and Terry have made this book so simple and easy to follow. They take you step by step through the whole "Puppy Experience" from selecting the right pup for your lifestyle, setting up your household, choosing and training the behaviors you want your dog to exhibit, problem-solving and health, safety and nutrition issues. The best part is that Paul's methods come from a place of compassion, understanding and kindness. There's no yelling, harsh corrections or nasty choke chains- just basic common sense. This book makes it so easy to help you help your puppy become the dog you've always wanted. I highly recommend The Puppy Whisperer and the Dog Whisperer.

The Puppy Whisperer is a pleasure to read and so easy to understand. It teaches you methods that will eventually become second nature. This is a positive way of training your dog. After learning some of the exercises, I found it so fulfilling when my puppy would understand what I wanted and without using any punishment. I'm finding that my dog can learn anything and I enjoy teaching him. This book really helps YOU understand your puppydog.
