Good Owners, Great Dogs Review
Because there are so many differing methods of training your dog, I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before buying this book several years ago. The methods in it are humane and nice and extremely effective. Using primarily this book (though also The Art of Raising a Puppy by the Monks of New Skete), my dog is now five years old and extremely well behaved. I get compliments on his obedience all the time, and I attribute all of my/his success to this book.
The advice in the book is really excellent, but even more powerful is how it will help you understand how dogs think so you can apply that knowledge to new situations. He covers a wide variety of specifics about what to do in different kinds of situations, but in life there's always something out of the ordinary that will require *you* to think about how best to handle your dog. This book has given me a very strong framework and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Great book! - Nathan A. Sweet - Seattle, WA United States
I looked at many books before purchasing this book and two others to prepare for my new puppy. This book is very thorough, covering everything from how to choose a puppy to puppyhood to adulthood. It dives into the canine mind so you better understand care and training. It teaches traditional correction training methods that are humane.
I recommend pairing this book with When Pigs Fly by Jane Killion. Good Owners, Great Dogs will give you all the basics and the traditional view on training, and When Pigs Fly will give you a different perspective on training. I feel the combination is very valuable. Do not worry if you don't have a terrier breed, When Pigs Fly applies to all dogs.
Excellent book - Ann Rugg -
This book was very helpful and informative. Almost a complete guide and excellent in combination with other books on dog training and behavior.
Phenomenal book - Susan Savelli - Richmond, Texas USA
I have owned and referred this book so many times. It is the bible of dog ownership to me. Caesar Milan has nothing on these authors. I can't think of a better book for training yourself to be a fabulous owner to your pet.
