Great for the price booklet.
This is a simple booklet. Not a full size book. If you have forgotten how to potty train your puppy or need more help then this booklet will help you give your puppy potty trained faster. Very very very easy read and can read the whole booklet within an hour. Total readable pages – 22 with conclusion. I recommend this as your added library tool of training books.The authors – K.B London and Patricia B McConnell are very good authors for dog training methods in obedience learning.You don’t have to spend a lot of money for simple booklets to read.This one covers simple topics:basicsknowing when to head outsidewords to the wisehandlng accidentsexpanding your dogs freedom in the househow long does it takeproblemsputting elimination on cuetraining your dog to ring a bellsummary and conclusion

A very useful reference
A concise little book that sets out basic principles and simple steps in housetraining a dog of any age. It is clearly written and easy to read. Recommended as reference for any reader looking for help in this area.

Well worth the price
This little book is short, clear, specific, and very, very helpful. If you’re not sure how to begin with housetraing a dog (as I was not), this is the perfect place to begin. I now know what I need to do to teach my future dog. I especially like that this book is not just geared toward puppies, but toward any dog. It would be helpful to someone who is planning to adopt an older dog from an animal rescue.

Good info but the same as the info in Puppy Primer
I was disappointed – all the information in this book was basically the same as the information in the Puppy Primer (also by Patricia McConnell), which I read previous to this.Additionally, it does not go into detail at all on the things that are not covered in the Puppy Primer. Bell training is a very brief mention, adult dogs are maybe two sentences, no mention of submissive urination, and no mention of pee pads or other non-outdoor solutions.So. If you don’t have the Puppy Primer, and want the basics of house training, this fits the bill. But if you already have the Puppy Primer, this has really no additional useful information outside of two pages covering Elimination on Cue and Bell Training, neither topic going into much detail.Just get the Puppy Primer, it has all this information plus tons of other stuff.

Quick read, great for a beginner
This was a quick, easy read for a beginner puppy potty trainer. It was broken down into clear sections that make each step easy to understand. Yes, a lot of these tips are found online in short articles, but I like how the author explains each step a bit more in depth and offers suggestions based on the age of the dog. I found this little book a lot more informative than any online article.

Short, clear and concise.
As a dog trainer I am frequently astonished by how much people don’t realise what they are getting into when the bring home a puppy. This 12-18 year commitment starts out with a good solid six months of watching and tracking the incomings and outgoings of sustenance for our four legged friends. Dogs do not generally potty train themselves. Enter THIS book. The London/McConnell team score a hit with this common sense guide to house training your dog. This IS a book for beginners, but it’s also a book to remind people what they need to do when you bring home a puppy or adult dog that needs to be housetrained. If you haven’t had a puppy for 15 years, or have recently adopted an older dog, this ‘How to Guide’ will get you started on the right track.

This was a very helpful and concise way to update ourselves on potty training a new puppy and so far it is helping a good bit. We are only a week into the process and I would say we are successful over 50% of the time.

This is a wonderfully written and simple to understand guide on house training any dog. Quick to read and quick to implement!
Legare –
The advice is all sound and sensible. I have housetrained my dogs in a similar way for many years although I have only recently resorted to treats! It’s proving very effective.I would only wish for advice on how to prevent the male peeing competitions. We have five small dogs, all neutered and housetrained, and they sometimes find the urge to take turns marking a spot too difficult to resist, even if they are indoors at the time!

This is a great book that clearly outlines in an easy to understand way the steps to house training your dog with fewer accidents and giving your new best friend the best possible chance for getting it right.

Straightforward, sensible advice. Patricia McConnell keeps the dogs’ point of view in mind. If you live open plan and prefer not to use a crate, keep watching, take pup or rescue outside frequently, and especially on waking or after boisterous play.

This is a good ,especially for beginners .I’m not a beginner, but I found that it re-enforced things that I knew & gave me a bit more confidence that I was doing it right. It also gave me some ideas to help deal with one very boisterous pup.
