My whole philosophy has always been how i can be smarter than this dog?My goal was to have the dog think she thought of it!Terry lays it all out and it should be required reading for any puppy buyer and especially for the terrier owner!!Though I have worked with dogs in Show biz for thirty years I find this book keeps my thoughts fresh and my dogs working happily!!

Customer Review: It works - It really works!
I want everyone to know that this book works. Our Jack Russell Terrier had benn thrown away by their previous owner and when we found her at the county dump, she was dirty, skittish and had no house manners -if you know what I mean. We cleaned her up, loved on her and started training. She learned everything we taught her except when to let us know she had to pee. This book uses tough love. It said to bring the dog back to the scene of the crime and say the work "SHAME". and immediately put her in her crate and ignore her. Two times we did this and she got it. She learned to go to the door and let us know she needed to go out. Now she stays home all day by herself and she doesn't mess in the house.

There are no bad dogs, there are bad owners. Buy this book and become a good owner. Your dog will love you for it.
