The Loved Dog: The Playful, Nonaggressive Way to Teach Your Dog Good Behavior Audiobook

" Read this before getting our labrador retriever puppy & really liked the author's approach as well as her detailed description of certain training techniques. Found the pictures helpful as welll. "

" The 7-yr old boy who lives downstairs gave me this book so we "could get Rowdy to do things". It's actually a good quick read with tips that are easy to understand and act out. Apparently, the author was also on Oprah recently (something else the 1st grader relayed to me) and she had Oprah's 3 dogs in shape in record time. That has to count for something, right? "

" One of the best dog trainers around! "

" Not sure I would recommend this book. She spends most of the book explaining how she came to work with dogs. "

" Read this to help with my work in dog rescue. Like Dog Whisperer better. "

" Disappointing. Tamar has an interesting background working with wolves in Israel and thought it would be really interesting. The book is poorly written and falls short. I would not recommend this book. "

" This book is good for teaching people the basics of dog training. I like her method and approach to dogs. I think to book could have been condensed to about 5 chapters though. I wouldn't mind seeing her training DVD to get a better illustration of how she's interacting with the dogs. "

" I agree with her techniques, however she was just too general in this book. I think someone who doesn't have any training or experience in working with dogs might have a difficult time using this book at a training guide for their dog simply because there just wasn't enough specificity and/or instruction. The tips were good & the stories about her client dogs were interesting, but the step by step of how to accomplish those things with your dog just weren't there most of the time or were too general. Still, it was a good read and I can't stress enough that POSITIVE training such as she does is the only way to go. "

" Good book, but you might hold hands and sing Kumbayaa afterwards with your dog. "

" Lots of great tips and overarching concepts about dog "coaching" and development. "

" This really helped me since I'm a novice dog-owner. "

" Great book, great advise but still Tarah is not potty-trained and is chewing on everything but her toys. "

" The writing was very remedial, which made it hard for me to get through. "

" The book was very entertaining but didn't really explain how to train your dog. The first half of the book seemed to be an introduction "

" In my library. "

" Inspirational and heart-wrenching, this easy-to-follow book is a great introduction to positive reinforcement training. "

" Her training method makes perfect sense. I have been using it and it works! "

" I read this book when my dog was a puppy and have used several of her methods in our training. We love this method and really feel that our dogs feel more loved because of it. "

" Positive- reinforcement training is the only training I advocate, and Tamar Gellar gives wonderful information on how to properly and quickly train your dog all while keeping him/her happy :) "

" Always glad to hear new ways to work with dogs. Tamar has some wonderful ideas that we will try here. "

" This book is a must read for anyone looking to train a dog - it's a great tool for training a dog in a loving way, and her methods really work! "

" Not what I had hoped for. There were some fresh ideas but mostly it was a skim-the-surface clicker training book. "

" This book has been helpful with Macy, especially the crate training. "

" This is actually a training book that makes sense to me! I love her methods and they are easy to follow. I had a hard time with the Dog Whisperer's techniques but these are (sort of) working for us. "

" Some interesting concepts for training your dog. Most seem to be common sense. Not sure I could sit there and have a party for my dog while talking to her in sing-song baby voice, but whatever works for people I guess.<br/><br/> "

" The first dog training book I read (I read A LOT in preparation for our puppy) that just made sense. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs help training their dog! "

" What I really liked about this book was not only Tamars philosophy on taining dogs with kindness but her personal life-where/how she was raised to be very interesting "

" A very readable, common sense approach to training your dog. Now I'll have to work on my &quot;wolf&quot; posture. "

" Love the way Tamar treats the dogs. For the most part, her &quot;ways&quot; seem to work with our puppy. "

" This really helped me since I'm a novice dog-owner. "

" I still stand by my all-time favorite dog behaviorist/trainer, Patricia McConnell, but for the most part, I thought Tamar Geller's tips and advice corresponded fairly well with hers. And I've found quite a few of them to be really useful in helping my dogs overcome some bad habits they'd formed. "

" This is actually a training book that makes sense to me! I love her methods and they are easy to follow. I had a hard time with the Dog Whisperer's techniques but these are (sort of) working for us. "

" It's not Cesar. But it was interesting. "

" The author presents very interesting concepts. I wish I could remember them all. The one thing that stayed with me: You should surprise your dog every day: a treat, a game, a walk in a new area. I'm not a dog person, but I try. "
