 Excellent, Easy to Read and Follow, Awesome Info! Have a Hyper Dog? Read this Book April 20, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I just love this book. It's easy to follow, and they don't over complicate the wording so anyone can easily pull info from it. Gathering information is easy, because the topics are clearly labeled. They also have little exerts of helpful hints, which are very useful and easy to read. If you have a dog who you think is a bit hyper, this would be a great help. Especially if getting rid of your dog ever crosses your mind, because you don't feel you are giving the dog the stimulation it needs, or the dog is getting into mischief because it's not getting the stimulation it needs. It puts things into perspective on what a dog needs and what you need to do to give it to him. It teaches you how to train your dog and helps you to understand the way they think. It gives you great tips on traveling with your dog to, barking and baying to pulling on the lead. Some of the tricks they teach in this book are awesome and would impress the heck out of your friends. It even covers dogs with new babies, toddlers and children. The book is like one stop shopping for any kind of behavior problem. Definitely worth the read, there's so much info in it, many more topics than I have mentioned in this review.

STOP YELLING ... START COMMUNICATING February 22, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Our poor puppies! No wonder they've been so confused about what they needed to do to please us! I didn't realize until I began to read "Hip Ideas for Hyper Dogs" just how easy it would be to eliminate all those mixed messages, and open up real channels of communication with our two endlessly energetic twin-sister Lhasa Apsos; they now take great joy in showing off how well-behaved they are, and how good they are at their "jobs." Back when they were trying to puzzle it all out for themselves, it's no wonder that chaos reigned. (What makes perfect sense. viewed solely from the standpoint of an inquisitive dog, is seldom what we stodgy humans would choose.) As the authors point out, it's often the most highly intelligent and motivated dogs who, when all they know is that Mom is yelling a lot -- and they don't have a clue as to why -- tend to leave the most devastation in their wake. Don't wait any longer to discover what an absolute joy your playful pup is eager to become -- with just a little help from you.

"Hip Ideas for Hyper Dogs" is robust reading material for the beginner and expert dog trainer. It contains effective and reliable dog training methods, and, accompanied with step-by-step photos, make it a treasure. You will refer to this book over and over again and have fun in the process! There is so much good information about how to work with a hyper dog that from the moment I picked up my copy, I couldn't wait to put the suggestions into practice. Your dog will be forever grateful that you've decided to get up off the couch and start interacting with him (and stop yelling at him)! Hip Ideas is a book that can help any frustrated owner of a hyper dog understand the basics of a solid method of training and understand the canine mind ... and more importantly, to know you and your dog are a team!
