Book Reviews of Good Owners, Great Dogs
Book Review: Solid advice - good for city dog owners
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought an 8 wk old puppy (my first) and this book was recommended to me by a dog trainer. I found the advice to be very helpful and the approaches to be doable. The big plus is that Kilcommons provides specific advice for city dog owners in terms of challenges with house training, noise, confined living space and puppy quarantine periods.
I also bought Puppies for Dummies and found that book to be better organized, easier to reference and more useful overall. I tend to reference Dummies more often, but am glad that I read both. The recommendations in both books are generally consistent. I found Dummies to provide more alternative solutions to problems, whereas Good Owners tends to use one approach to fit all.
Book Review: THE BEST I'VE READ
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great book. I bought a couple of others that were highly recommended and they didn't even touch the value of this one. This one I initially borrowed but now know it is the one to OWN because I will be referring to it a great deal. Not just broad strokes, but the nitty gritty is here. It is humane but firm.Book Review: great book and a MUST HAVE for anyone with a dog
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read this book cover to cover two or three times. Kilcommons knows what he is talking about and I agree with his techniques which are illustrated throughout. Pair this with The Loved Dog and you're on your way to establishing a true connection with your dog. LOVE this book!Book Review: Good Owners, Great Dogs

I have a 7 year old Lasa mix and a 1 year old Chinese Crested, both female. This book helped me understand my girls psychology and behavior. The tips for positive training are priceless. Kudos to Kilcommons and Wilson!
