Customer Reviews    This is ALL you need to housetrain your pup or dog!!
If you can make it through the first 24 hours, freedom from an unhousetrained dog will be yours! It REALLY DOES WORK! I had a dog that was a 1.5 year old, I mistakingly paper trained her first and she never stopped doing what she was taught- going inside on the paper! NOT A GOOD IDEA! A family friend recommended this book and within about twenty four hours she was house trained!!! Most people would have said that I would always have a problem with her, NO way! Two years later, she's remains PERFECTLY HOUSETRAINED! In addition to this amaziing success story, I recently loaned the book to someone who was having trouble house training her new puppy; within a few days- no problem at all! Buy it, it really is well worth the money!     It worked for us!
I recommend this book to everyone who gets a new puppy. Or even an older, non-housebroken dog. Neither my husband or I had ever housebroken a dog before. In my case, my family had only owned one, and she came to us trained. In his case, their family dogs just never got trained. So we were novices when we brought home our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I bought this book and read it before we got the dog, so we were ready to go. We got a late start in training, because we had to deal with an illness (in the dog) first. Even with waiting nearly two months to train her, I'd say we had her fairly reliable in a couple of months and completely accident free by one year, which is about right for a CKCS. She's now four and hasn't had an accident in three years. We can take her to visit friends, family and stay in hotels and not worry about a mess. The book is easy to read and offers advice for all types of situations: house dog, apartment dog, young puppy, older dog. Thank God I Didn't Buy It
We were to bring a new puppy home - my and my husband's first puppy ever. I was in a panic, thinking I would not have a clue of what to do, and was very concerned about housebreaking. I selected 2 books (I won't go in to why they haven't helped me as of yet), and I did not buy this one. I thought about it, almost bought it. We brought the puppy home and with a little consistency I - an inexperienced dog-owner - had housetrained him in a week! Believe me, that was the easiest part (thus far) of dog companionship! If you use a little common sense and consistency, you do not need this book. |
