Customer Review: My Review
As soon as I read this book, I just fell in love it! I've had plans for the past (well, actually since I was 2, but no official plans) year to get a dog, but I've been trying to find a traning book that I actualy agree with. Almost every other one I've ever read (or I should say STARTED to read) I've put down in frustration because I just didn't agree with what they did. But I agree with virtually everything Mr. Wolters reccomends, and the fact that his 6 year old daughter does most of the traning, as you see throughout the book, shows the simplicity of the methods. But the one thins that people might disagree with is the spaking. I know that is a very controversial issue. Just as you wouldn't "spank" a toddler if it didn't know it was doing anything wrong, you should never spank a dog if it hasn't been told to stop before. And it states that in the book! I don't see what some Doctor had put up such a fuss about it. But I give the book five stars because it is very good and aslo just very entertaining to read.
Customer Review: classic training
Mr Wolters has what it takes. Tried and true simple methods that work. You may not agree with every word he says...but try even a few of the methods he suggests...and you may find yourself quite surprised...I sure did.
