"I checked this out of the library in hopes of figuring out how to teach our dog how to give us a signal that he had to go outside. I have never had a dog who hasn't barked or come to me demanding attention when it has a need to go to the bathroom - I didn't teach them that, they just did that naturally. Our current dog is very well-behaved but we take him out on a schedule due to no signals from him. This works okay during the day, but we have had some trouble at night. I am sure if I was awake I would notice his distress but not when I am sleeping. Alas, I didn't get the answer in this book. Although I did enjoy reading about the evolution of dogs, and some basic training tips. There was a chapter on dogs and pica which could prove fruitful though - especially since my dog puts everything in his mouth and recently ate one of the kids' little rubber bouncy balls and then threw it back up in the whee hours of the morning! UGH! Dogs - love 'em but they can have some gross and undesirable habits!"
"Hm. I kinda disagree with some of the advice in this book! Like the bit about how you shouldn't reward with food - what is this, 1940? EVERYONE rewards with food. You can reward with praise, but logically, it would only be effective if you withheld praise at all times except when your dog obeys commands. That doesn't sound like a normal life with a pet.
After that, I slammed the cover shut and read no more. Sheesh, I know everything there is to know about training dogs - I just need to spend less time reading about it and more time doing it!"
