Summary: Excellent book on Dog Training and Dog Psychology
Comment: I found this book to be concise and thorough in dealing with dog behavior problems and solutions. A must read for anyone with an aggressive dog who doesn't want to "give up". Mr. Meisterfeld substantiates his theories with case histories which give hope to owners of biters or agressive dogs.

Summary: Am I Missing Something?
Comment: I was disappointed with this book. True, it does have a lot of interesting information and I totally agree with his method of training with respect and trust, not using force or aggression. But I bought the book expecting to find the answer to an aggression problem I'm having with an adopted dog, who IS being trained only with respect and positive methods. Instead, the book is full of examples of dogs with behavioral problems, and if you find one that correlates with a problem you may be experiencing, as you hurriedly turn the pages to find the solution, instead you read "the dog was brought to me and I retrained him...and now he's a happy faithful friend." No where did I find any information about Mr. Meisterfeld's training program. He admonishes dog owners for causing their dog's behavioral problems by catering to the dog and treating it like a human, not giving it territorial and psychological boundaries, not giving it a job, but again no specifics are given. Just what is his definition of these boundaries? Dog stays outside? Dog is restricted to one room in the house? And psychological boundaries - dog's every move and waking moment are dictated by the owner? What constitutes a job? Are daily obedience lessons enough? I am not new to the breed that I have and my previous dog was obedience titled so I'm quite familiar with training. This new dog was put on the "nothing in life is free" program from the day I got him and it has been very effective in establishing me as his master and setting behavioral boundaries for him. However, an aggression problem is new to me. I was hoping to find the answer in this book but instead am no closer to a solution than before.

Summary: I have only loved her
Comment: I thought I knew how to raise a dog, growing up with 4 dogs and owning 4 as an adult. My schnauzer puppy started to exhibit undesirable behaviors like barking incessantly, growling, snapping at me while grooming her, taking books out of the library and shredding them etc. I havn't left her at home alone or abused her in anyway, oh contraire, I take her to doggie daycare every day, walk her every night, train her with positive reinforcement, sleep with her in my bed, take her shopping with me. Why was she behaving like this? I have only loved her. I searched books and websites for answers, then I found JellyBean. Meisterfeld knows dogs and enlightend me about dog behavior. If you are confused about your dog's behavior or about who to believe, let the results convince you. Read this book.
