Title: An Essential Guide for Raising a Happy and Well-Behaved Dog!
Review: I recently finished reading Zak George's Dog Training Revolution, and it has been incredibly helpful in raising my new puppy, Dream. This book is a fantastic resource for both new and experienced dog owners, offering practical advice and compassionate training techniques.Zak George’s approach to dog training is rooted in positive reinforcement, which I really appreciate. The book emphasizes building a loving and trusting relationship with your pet, rather than using harsh methods. This philosophy resonates with me, and it’s been wonderful to see how effective it is with my dog. The tips and techniques are easy to understand and implement, making the training process enjoyable for both me and Dream.The book covers everything from basic commands and house training to more advanced behaviors and dealing with common issues like barking and chewing. What I love most is how Zak breaks down each topic into manageable steps. It feels like having a personal dog trainer guiding me through each stage of my puppy’s development.Another great aspect of this book is the emphasis on understanding your dog’s needs and communication. Zak provides insights into canine behavior that have helped me better interpret Dream’s actions and respond appropriately. It’s made a huge difference in how we interact and bond.Overall, Zak George's Dog Training Revolution is a comprehensive and compassionate guide to raising a well-behaved and happy dog. Whether you’re a first-time dog owner or looking to refine your training techniques, this book is an invaluable resource. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to build a loving and effective training relationship with their pet.

Title: SUPER HELPFUL
Review: If you're thinking about getting a puppy buy this before. I wish we had gotten it sooner. I paid $50 for an app that wasn't helpful so I ordered this book. It explains EVERYTHING! Helps me understand why our pup is doing the things she's doing. So helpful with training plan and simple instructions to accomplish goals. Game changer!

Title: Good resource
Review: There is a lot of information in this book, including choosing the right dog and preparing to bring them home; basic training necessities, troubleshooting problems, etc. I looked up some specific immediate needs, such as “mouthing”, but am now reading it cover to cover.

Title: Uh c Training my pup
Review: I was greatly disappointed . Not in the author or his information. I am a 95 year old female , blind in one eye trying to train my dog. The print in this book isn’t very large or dark . Would it be possible to replace this book with another book that would be easier for me to use? I would greatly appreciate your assistance.Thank you, Jean Lamparter

Title: A gift for a new puppy and owner!
Review: The book arrived in a timely manner and was in good condition. It looked like something a new puppy owner of a Great Pyrenees desperately needed! It was a gift, so I can't speak to its quality of advice, but the book was set up in a very readable format, with lots of helpful tips. The puppy owner is enjoying it, or so he says. May his puppy settle down soon!

Review: I had previously read a book from Cesar Millan which I really liked, but it made me thinking that dogs should always be submissive to anything I wanted them to do. Zak’s book has a very friendly approach that I believe can create a bond between the dog and their owner, and it’s what I’ll be following from now on. My dog is 9mo old, I’m with him for 3 weeks now and he already does lots of things at home and in low distraction environments (sit, down, stand, take a bow, fetch, take it, leave it). I’m starting frisbee, but still getting their interest on it. I also recommend sympawtico training, they have great resources.

Review: What an amazing book and what an amazing trainer Zak is. The book is so simple and well written. Easy to understand as well. I just went gliding over the pages and did not even realise that I came so far. The best part is all the training tips given here have an accompanying Youtube video. And unlike other books you can just start reading any section that feels relevant to you for training your dog at the moment (but best to start from the beginning). I just started teaching my 10 week old pup and he is doing so well. Will surely try to teach my older dogs too.The book covers every possible aspect a pet parent would or should know and not just the training tips. I am re-reading and revisiting the pages, it’s that great and helpful.

Review: Je vais bientôt avoir un chiot et j'ai déjà lu ce document deux fois tout en regardant ses vidéos sur YouTube. J'adore ses méthodes de dressage et le renforcement positif. Si vous avez des hésitations sur ce qu'il enseigne, regardez comment son propre chien se comporte dans ses vidéos et vous serez époustouflé. il travaille beaucoup en se basant sur la relation que vous avez avec votre chien et sur l'impact que cela a sur le dressage. j'ai hâte d'utiliser ces méthodes pour dresser mon parfait chiot. je recommanderais vivement à quiconque d'avoir un chien, qu'il soit chiot ou adulte !
