This book is great for a new dog owner. Housebreaking a dog can be a challenge, but the author gives you several different methods to use in order to help your new family member know where to go when they gotta go. I like that the author gives more than one way to tackle this problem as it helps the reader who may have a dog that is not grasping the particular method that their owner would like. I think getting out and walking the dog is a great idea if you live in a decent, safe neighborhood because it allows you to get your own time for fitness in as well as helping your puppy burn some of that large store of energy.I also like how the author explained that you should not hit the dog or yell at it but use a firm voice. Hitting or yelling at the puppy can be counterproductive as the little guy is scared and will hide away from you, and thus so will his or her messes.I liked the idea of crate training to an extent although I have seen people terribly overuse the crate. I think this a great book to help out the new dog owner.
