Customer Review: How to housebreak your dog in 7 days
I love this book. My puppy was only 8 weeks when I received the book and most of it already worked. It is a very informative book and details many different ideas of how to housebreak your dog. The best part about the book is that it is not too long. It is a quick read and interesting to learn about dog behavior, so that the training program makes sense. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a new dog or trouble with training an older dog. The program really works.
Customer Review: Good book for dog owners
We purchased this book a few weeks before we got our first dog, an 8-week-old Boston Terrier puppy. The guidelines in this book were really helpful to us as first-time dog owners. Our puppy is now a little over 12-weeks-old and she is already close to being fully house trained. Even though this book and other books say puppies don't have full control over their bladder/bowels until they are 16-weeks, we have followed the steps in the book since the day we got the puppy. And now she is almost fully house trained a month early. I would recommend this book to any new dog owner.
