About the Author
Gwen Bailey worked for a leading UK national animal welfare charity from 1988 to 2002 and pioneered the use of dog behavior therapy in training and evaluating unwanted animals for adoption. She was the first person in the UK to be appointed by a national animal welfare charity as a full-time animal behaviorist, eventually heading a team of experts on dog behavior. Gwen has successfully solved behavioral problems in thousands of adopted dogs, preventing dogs with such problems from being passed from home to home and improving the adoption success rate. Gwen lectures at national and international conferences, runs training courses for staff at animal shelters around the world, and has written 12 books, including Puppy School: 7 Steps to the Perfect Puppy, which has sold over 140,000 copies worldwide, and education leaflets. She is a Trustee for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Gwen is now working on a new initiative to prevent behavior problems among puppies and to encourage friendly, well-behaved dogs for the future. Called Puppy School, it aims to set up a network of professional, well-trained dog behavior tutors across the UK.Learn more about Gwen's efforts here: http://www.puppyschool.co.uk.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent all-round book for any dog owner, which covers everything from choosing the right breed and bringing your new puppy home, right through to training your dog to fetch your newspaper or deliver messages! Despite covering such a broad base, it still manages to go into plenty of detail on each subject.
It is well-written and has lots of glossy photos to illustrate all the points.
I would highly recommend it, especially if you are looking for just one book that will cover all you need to know.

Being new to owning a dog, I have purchased a number of books on dog training. This book is the best book I have seen to date (17th May 2010).
My dog (an 8 month old Black Labrador puppy) and myself are students at a well regarded dog school and have been awarded a Bronze Obedience Award by the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers (BIPDT).
The book re-enforces what we are and have learned on the course. I believe anybody reading the book and allowing sufficient time and patience will achieve an obedient and well trained dog. It takes time and effort and cannot be learned in a day!
Just be patient, follow each exercise carefully, most dogs I believe have a 10 to 15 minutes attention span so limit your training sessions to frequent short periods. The aim is for the owner to understand how a dog behaves and how the training is fun. Do not force the issue, go at the dog's pace, the author has not set out a timetable for achieving success, some dogs are quicker at picking things up than others, but every dog is trainable.
This is an excellent book, I feel that if I bought this book a few months back I could have saved money on the other training books.
