This book, while it does have very few good ideas, is the best example of how NOT to train a dog!! On one page it actually says that if your fingers are bleeding from a dog taking treats from your hand, put the treats in your fist and let the dog ‘gnaw’ at our hand, only letting the dog have a treat when it bite softens! Ya right folks!!! I do great dane rescue and do you realize how many hands I’d go through if I tried that method!!! I’d have bloody stumps! And the book gets much worse. Call around your area, find a trainer in person you can visit with. Using the above method is going to get many people injured!!
