Summary: Greeeaaat Book
Review: I have 2 adult stubborn Bichons that I adopted as adults. They were never obedience trained as pups. This book addresses all of the issues I have with them. I'm currently in the process of following Joy's instructions and I'm amazed at the results. They are a work in progress but I see light at the end of the tunnel. **Citywulf - Dogs don't think like humans. Joy only recommended grabbing the muzzle or scruff on the neck as last options. She also recommends increasing the confidence of timid dogs. She has advocated posturing and looks - hence the ALPHA***

Summary: Proceed with Caution
Review: I have mixed feelings about this book. She debunks many old ideas, and that's good. But using "Alpha" techniques on a dog has its risks. We do not want to raise wolves, we want to raise household companions. "Alpha" training includes using the hands to deliver such reprimands as scruff-shakes and muzzle holding. This can lead to a hand-shy dog more apt to use wolf-life reprimands on other dogs or even children considered subordinate. For timid and small dogs especially, I would recommend hands-free methods that rely on vocal tones, eye contact, and rewards.

Summary: Some absolutely great ideas in this book
Review: I have read many books on the subject of dog behaviour and training and this one is refreshing. Particularly helpful if your dog is male or has any sign of aggressive tendencies, this book could be a real life-saver. Although Joy does tend to repeat herself several times, I get the feeling this is because she feels strongly about the subject and I, at least, have clear recall of all the ideas presented. Follow her advice even if you don't have a problem dog - it will improve your bond. I hope every dog owner in the world reads this, for the sake of both the dogs and the owners!

Summary: As a dog lover, I enjoyed and truly appreciated this book!
Review: In "I Love My Dog But... : Ultimateguide to Managing Your Dog's Misbehavior," the author Joy Tiz offers us a fresh and too often ignored insight into the behavior of "man's best friend." She does this by means of a colorful yet concise writing style, personalized examples, and just the right touches of humor to make this a highly readable, and quite often entertaining educational resource. Whether you are a novice dog owner, or a more experienced veteran of the joys and woes of "puppy love," this book is a "must-read" for those of us who desire the most successful and fulfilling relationship possible with our beloved canine companions.

Summary: If You Have a Dog, You Need This Book
Review: Thank you Joy! I have been recommending this book to everyone I know who has a dog or is just thinking about it. If I had gotten it first I wouldn't have wasted money on any other dog books. Joy explains why dogs act the way they do and how their behavoir can be changed. I have seen many people mistreating their dogs in an attempt to disipline them. Or using strange, ineffective training techniques or no training at all. Simply the best there is...as the owner of a young Border Collie I don't know how we survived until we got this book.

Summary: Should Be Required Reading for All Dog Owners
Review: There has never been a better book written to help owners understand their dog's behavior. I've been consistently disappointed with the currently popular dog training books, they are full of terrible advice and the fad of the day. You absolutely cannot go wrong following the advice in this book, and it's written with such humor that you won't be able to put it down. I can't wait for this author's next book.
