Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-18 00:00:00 Dennis Hawley Some helpful passages, but overall, Benjamin relies heavily on the 1990's paradigm for dog training: Always be the alpha, use lots of "leash pops," and never let your dog get the upper hand. It's a combative and now outmoded approach to training, but you can't really fault her for it, since the book was written in 1992. It was nice to find a book with a specific focus on the adolescent dog, but I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone, mainly because of how outdated the advice is.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-07-17 00:00:00 Mario Silva I would never be so mean to anything with such sharp teeth. Some people are able to use slip collars effectively (they are not for me), but I dont think it is something you can (or attempt) to teach a new dog owner in a book.
