5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book before your puppy arrives!, 26 Sep 2006

By	S. Gough (Kent, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: It's Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet (Hardcover)

What a fantastic book! I was thoroughly engrossed for about 3 days while I read it from cover to cover (and still tried to cook, iron and clean in between) and was so glad I had all the information to hand before our mad puppy arrived!

My husband and I had decided the time was right to bring a puppy into our family now that our children were getting older (8 and 10) and could hopefully show some responsibility. (Plus the fact that my youngest was sending me daily emails begging for a puppy!!!) We chose a West Highland Terrier (and named him Wellington) and arranged to pick him up a couple of weeks later. Having been really impressed with Victoria Stilwell's "It's me or the dog" TV series, I decided to see if her book could help us with our new addition.

Within a week or so of arriving with us our new puppy was sitting, laying down, rolling over and staying on command. Ms Stilwell's training tips are easy to follow by owners and dogs alike!

We also knew what food to feed him, especially since Westies are prone to skin conditions and these can be exacerbated by pet foods with a high cereal content (all this information was gleaned from this fab book!) It gives you the pros and cons on wet and dry dog foods and also tells you the products you should never feed your dog.

The housetraining information is straight forward and three weeks after arriving with us, Wellington is now only having the odd accident.

Victoria Stilwell's book is set out so that you can flick back through to review what she suggests on certain subjects and is therefore very easy to use.

I recommend you definitely read this book before your new puppy arrives. I do however agree with a previous reviewer who found that it did not contain as much information about older dogs with problem behaviour. I think the information in this publication is geared more to people with new puppies.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic book worth reading, 21 Feb 2006

By	"babybellabells" - See all my reviews

This review is from: It's Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet (Hardcover)

After pruchasing an 8 week old springer spaniel bitch, we were very interested in learning how to train and understand our puppy. We had her a month and tried basic training our selves with some success. However toilet training and obedience was becomming a little difficult. If you've watched the series you will appreceiate how wonderful this lady is at understanding and training dogs. On this basis we bought the book and i was blown away with how much i didnt know or understand about my puppy ! now after one week of reading the book, my bella sits, gives both paws, lies down, stays, fetch's toys and is understanding her toilet needs with peeing out side a lot better but this is still needing improvment ! but i understand this takes a while anyway.. I would definately recommend this book if your keen to reassure your self that your puppy or dog understands you and you understand them..

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 4 Oct 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: It's Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet (Hardcover)

I have 2 18 month old small cross breed dogs. They are lovely but they came from a rescue home and needed a bit of training.

Having tried various books I came across this one and after watching the TV programme decided to give it a try.

It is fantastic. It tells you all about why dogs to what they do, how to train them and also goes into what to feed them which was really helpful as I found out not all brands of dog food were necessarily good for your dog.

If you are trying to train a dog or have a dog and just want to know how he "ticks" get this book!!! Every dog owner should have one!
