Dog Training For Dummies-A Review of This Popular Training Guide
The contents
This book is very in depth on the topic, and the best thing about it is that the advice is that it caters to every dog. It covers many topics, but some of the main ones are first how to prevent barking and chewing, how to train the dog to behave when you leave, house training, and basic commands, among others.
The information is not just copy and paste tips that supposedly works for every dog but ends up working for none; it teaches you how to cater to your pet’s unique needs.
You see, every dog’s learning style is different; therefore, training that works for one might not work for another. Dog Training For Dummies explains how to adapt to their individual personality which is very important.
Who's it for?
It will aid everybody that is considering getting a dog or already has one, and it works for both novices as well as those who already have some level of knowledge of the topic.
Dog Training For Dummies mostly for beginners with no knowledge of the topic, but it does get into a bit more advanced material if you feel your pet is ready to go to the next level. In other words, the book is not for the professional, but if you have little to no knowledge of the topic and only plan on training your pet and not doing it for a career, this is the book you want to read.
This book by and large it gets rave reviews from customers. Most say that the book is very easy to understand, and contains down to earth simple instructions that just flat out work.
Problems with it
However, the nutritional information has been called into question by some, and quite simply there is little evidence to support some of their conclusions on this topic. Therefore, I would take the advice on this topic with a grain of salt.
One rather annoying problem is that the book does have some grammatical errors, which obviously has no impact on the content but is still a little surprising for a book of this caliber.
Conclusion
It does have it's faults, but by and large it really provides valuable information for the beginner, and is extremely effective at getting your dog trained. It’s very cheap, and sells for just five or six bucks in most locations. On the whole, Dog Training For Dummies is one I would recommend, although there might be better guides out there.
