I learned so much from this book

I am raising a large dog who cannot be picked up and saved from any difficult situations we might come across. I am now much more attentive to my dog's body language and training needs, and better understand the benefits of taking walks in the long grass!

The book I wished I read.

A book as true as its title. Written and presented well, contains tear jerker moments.

It was amazing!

I loved how expressive you are and I can really tell how much you love dogs, you have inspired my ten year old self. I have always loved animals more than I can express, but dogs have always been my favourite, I recently got my own puppy called Dasha, and she can get very naughty, but she is so sweet natured, and loves a good cuddle. Thank you so much for writing this book Louise!

The only “dog book” you’ll ever need

Awesome book. Finally a dog owner’s book that provides advices based on dogs’ wellbeing + respect. From puppyhood to old age, from training to feeding. A well written guide to becoming the best dog owner you can be. Thank you Louise for sharing your extensive knowledge.

For all dog owners!

New to puppy parenting and this gave me exactly all the tips I was seeking. A great insight into what our pups think and why the do what they do. The answer to good puppy parenting isn’t a one size fits all result and this book tells you why.

Some good points, but ultimately disappointed.

I really enjoyed some points that the author make about selecting a breed and some behavioural tips.
However as the book went on, I became increasingly disappointed in many hard and fast statements. "doing X will only equal Y", many of them are not that black and white. i.e. Don't teach your dog to paw, unless you want them constantly pawing at you anytime they want your attention. I find many of these statements foolish, and had a hard time taking the book seriously. I nearly feel out of my seat when the author described prong collars as something to be feared. Many training tools in this book are warned against, even though they can be very effective in the right case, with the right handler. If I didn't already have a good knowledge about dogs, I feel like this book would have actually made me more confused. Would not recommend.

Don’t bother. Full of misinformation.

Too much black and white in this book. Too many rules and misinformation. Don’t teach a dog to paw you? lol
Don’t leave a dog at home for more than 4hrs?
Only thing this author does is attempt to make dog owners feel bad.
Didn’t even bother finishing it, too much BS and absolute waste of money.
Like every other pop dog book. Very general info and nothing new.
