I don’t really think that the pint-sized dog warranteed a book of its own. I cannot see that the training is any different from the others I have read. It’s a fine book and probably ok if you are not going to buy any other. I expected a whole range of issues I hadn’t thought of that effect small dogs - there really aren’t any!

I really like the author’s attitude toward small dogs and the way she explains how they see the world. I found the book helpful for working with the 8-year-old Pomeranian I adopted. He is my first small dog, and before I read this book, I made the (apparently common) mistake of thinking that when he barks at bigger dogs, it’s because he thinks he’s a big dog. She points out that no, it’s actually because he KNOWS how small he is, and that he barks because he’s afraid. She also gives advice that was helpful to me about keeping a small dog safe, as well as gentle positive-reinforcement based training advice.

My seven pound Pomeranian heartily recommends this book for all small dog owners. Very useful advice, clear directions and humorous ways to see the world as a little dog sees it. I will always think of myself as an eight story building now!

I recommend this book for first time owners of small dogs or dogs in general. I have a 3 lb chihuahua and it has helped me socialize her (being “brave”), learn tricks such as sit, stay, lay down, stop her excessive barking, and being possessive of me. I always recommend this book whenever I go to the dog park. Great book!
