Not impressed with a book for new dog owners whos "voice" clearly believes all new owners are idiots intent to screw up their dog (even if they are Trying -by Reading this guys book!.
After reading several of Ian's books -i'm much less enthusiastic about his training methods simply because I respect myself way too much to wade through his condescention.
Not a fan.

Your new dog's old tricks will include many obedience commands if you use this book...
But even more important, you will have what you need to know to help your puppy develop great temperament: learning to inhibit its bite, preferring to play rather than fight with other dogs, becoming confident and friendly with humans and other dogs...
and good behaviors, such as being housetrained, chewing and digging in appropriate ways only, not barking too much, sitting instead of jumping up on people
Sound good? How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks delivers. Written by Dr. Ian Dunbar, the book is in many top 10 lists of dog training books, including one by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.
