The Power of Positive Dog Training
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!!

I was looking for a book to rehab abused dogs and this was the best I could find..no instructions for re-habbing.

I read this book and really wanted to get some good positive insight. I found the author very judgemental and accusing that any other method of training was abusive. I’m not sure what obedience classes she went to but not all classes are full of choke chains, beatings and abuse.
This book is about how to make your life, the people in your life and everything about your life revolve around your dog.
When this author recommended either wearing gloves or metal splints on your fingers for dogs going after your hands so hard they draw blood when you treat them… I thought that was just way too far. I would never beat my dog, but giving him a light tap so he isn’t ripping my fingers to shreds and drawing blood is by no means abusive…
There was good info about shaping and positive rewards but many other trainers teach these same concepts. I think this book went way too far in the keeping everything positive 100% of the time.
