This book describes why most known methods of
housebreaking are ineffective and unnecessary. It describes the psychology
behind the method. I trained my dog by this method and must say it worked
almost too well. My dog is now 8 years old and has had an
"accident" in the house only once in that time due to an
illness. I attribute this success to the method discussed in this book as
well as to the intelligence of my dog :) . I will say that the first two
days are difficult, but after that the dog will understand the 'pen".
Try it, it is far less cruel than other methods. Our
