Product Description
"The Good Behavior Book for Dogs" provides illustrated, down-to-earth and practical advice for dog owners with not-so-perfect pups. With an accessible, fun and easy approach, the author helps owners and their dogs learn how to affect proper manners and behaviour management in a respectful and loving environment. Dogs will happily engage in the training activities advocated, creating a bridge to happiness, freedom and friendship between dogs and their owners. This book will provide dog owners with the instruction and information that will allow them to solve behaviour problems that in many cases have resulted in giving up the dog. Training your dog to break undesirable habits doesn't need to be stressful. It is an easy way to strengthen the bond between the dog caregiver and dog. The reader will be taken on a sensitive and sometimes comical journey to understand their beloved pooch and get back that 'Puppy Love'.

This book has everything!, 12 Jun 2007
By Just Dogs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Good Behavior Book for Dogs: The Most Annoying Dog Problems...Solved (Paperback)
Between the amazing nutrition information, the variety of topics and Colleen's sense of humor, it's just simply the best dog training book I've ever read! Plus, the cover looks just like my Beagle, Charlee!
One minute I was crying, reading the intro and then I got into the book and was crying from laughter at times. I don't remember the last time a dog training book brought out so many emotions in me. My husband thought I was losing my mind! I couldn't put it down because I never knew what would come next! I am so obsessed with dogs so I read everything that comes out, but truly never felt compelled to write a review before this.
The advice is easy and practical to implement and she really keeps in mind that not ALL techniques work for ALL dogs, so she gives you choices most of the time about the approach. This book stopped my dog from chasing his tail in three days. It's been a week and no more tail chasing. He's done it for 3 years. I'm blown away at how quickly this happened. Unfortunately he is so good in all other areas I don't have the opportunity to test ou anything else except the recipes.
I like the fact that the author is also an avid animal rescuer very much about gentle techniques, always seeming to look at the world from the dog's perspective. She makes you think in a loving, common sense kinda way and really lets you off the hook from the stress and guilt of your past mistakes with your dog. It's also fun to look at. I've never seen a dog training book that also posed as a coffee table book. It's filled with tons of full color photos and even has recipes for dog treats and entertaining trivia. It looks like this publisher puts a lot of $$ into their books. This is a wonderful book as a gift for yourself or a friend. I also think it's kinda cool that the original kid from Lassie writes a review on the back cover. If you ever read this, thanks Colleen for your great book!

Dog Training made simple, 27 Jun 2007
By Dog Lover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Good Behavior Book for Dogs: The Most Annoying Dog Problems...Solved (Paperback)
I am a proud parent of a little dog baby named Henry. Unfortunately, he liked to mark in our home and also would run out the door of our house if it was ajar and would not come when called. He is small enough to pick up but I worried about him getting hit by a car or getting lost. Well, Colleen's book had wonderful training advice on how to handle these problems with love and firmness. Now my baby comes when called and he does it happily not grudgingly. He also has stopped marking in our home. What a godsend! I am so excited about the results and how easy it was to correct my dog's behavior. I love the little recipes and tidbits of advice. This is a really easy read. I highly recommend it.
