About this title

Synopsis

An essential tool for keeping the peace -- not to mention the dog! -- at home. When Good Dogs Do Bad Things features an easy-to-use, four-part behavior modification program to solve your dog's worst problems, shows how to determine your dog's personality type so you can train more effectively, and teaches step-by-step all of the basic training commands. Offers proven prevention tips for more than 30 of the most common problems, including barking, begging, biting, car chasing, chewing, digging, and running away.

From Library Journal

Both Siegal and Margolis have written other dog books on pet selection, training, and behavior. This particular title brings together their suggestions on handling specific behavior problems of individual dogs. While none of the ideas is especially innovative (consisting of analyzing the problem, looking for its roots, then using reconditioning techniques and obedience training methods to overcome the unwanted behavior), they are so clearly and positively presented that they will be most useful for a harried owner. Further, the authors emphasize the need to recognize the personality of the individual dog before choosing a correction. This readable, instructive book would be a good public library selection.
