Product Description
Product Description
One of the funniest and most astutely observed works on the sexes since James Thurber, "How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days of Less Using the Secrets of Professional Dog Trainers" (over 207,000 copies in print) turns the often-expressed axiom "Men are dogs" into a howling little handbook on men for contemporary women.
Doggie Dos and Don'ts: "Gentle strokes and playful petting techniques are positive motivational techniques for rewarding good behavior." And Flight and Chase Behavior: "If your dog is running away from you, the worst thing to do is chase after him . . . remain calm, act like you're having loads of fun without him, and soon he'll be trotting eagerly back." Doggie Dogmas: "Dogs like to eat out of your plate." "It's pointless to compete for the attention of a dog caught up in a ball game." And a quick primer on personality and temperament, from The Sporting Dog (requires daily exercise, gets bored easily, needs lots of attention) to The Hound (instinctually driven to chase and catch nearly anything that moves).
With its tongue-in-cheek humor and illustrations that evoke an old Esquire magazine, "How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days of Less" assures that control will be yours forever, as behavioral problems vanish within twenty-one days. It's guaranteed.

I found this booklet full of not very witty jokes and had to return it as it was really dissapointing. Thanks to the excellent return policy this did not pose a problem!

Keep your man on a short leash
29 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
If you want a serious self help book to help you over a break up, this isn't it.
If you want to seriously laugh your hiney off, nab this book!
I got this book as a gift, after a particularly nasty break up had left me quite down in the dumps. I read it, and laughed myself silly!
With slick artwork, and smart and funny one liners, this book is a total joy for anyone who's had man problems. The comparisons of men to dogs is so uncanny it's truly funny.
My favorite? The bit where it quips: "if your dog runs away, do not chase after it, it will only make him run faster, instead, dangle a colorful plaything in his face, he will come running back". The illustration to this one liner is a woman dangling a colorful piece of lingerie in a man's face.
As I said, serious self help it's not, but you know what they say, laugher is the best medicine. Read this book, especially with a best girlfriend, laugh yourself silly, and cheer up.
Men are like buses, another will be by in fifteen minutes.

COME ON, GUYS (and gals), LIGHTEN UP!
19 Dec 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book is a wonderful dramatization of all that Mars/Venus, battle-of-the-sexes, alleged-hopelessness-of-relationships stuff. Read it, laugh, maybe get just a tiny bit more insight into this stuff, and whatever you do, don't take it too seriously. Ever heard of stand-up comedy? Well, this is a stand-up book.

Love it or Hate it
4 Jan 2003
Format:Hardcover
This is one of those books you either love or hate. It has a very dry humor. I happen to love that. I read this with my hubby and we had a great time. We really enjoyed the section that talks about not running after your dog.
My husband says that is true! Although Ms. Salmansohn described it in a humorous way.
My hats off to the author for being brave enough to put this out there. Looks like she's gotten a lot of tough criticism but then again they say that any exposure is good for book sales, so you go girl!
