I must of taken the book in a different context, because I found it humorous and great! I have trained big dogs (labs), but they are a lot different then this little ones and I am new to training a Yorkie!
I felt this book was great and that she was making light of the saying "Welcome to being owned by a small dog", etc. I don't think she is saying that these little guys are "out to take over your house"...which in most cases, these little ones do own the house (and that is our fault). I felt that the training and other tips I heard were more geared toward a loving/caring type of training that would help your dog be happier and live longer.
As for you eating their treats if they don't want to come for it (or whatever you are trying to get them to do)....well, isn't that the same thing we do for our "human" babies? We eat it and think it is the best thing and then, don't they always come for it or take it..eventually?
I found her tips to be great (the ones I have tried so far) and are they easy! Everyone is different (we all have different opinions on food and everything else), so maybe if you stand there and look and read through bits of the book before you buy it, you will have a better idea of if it is what you think you might need/want.
Happy Reading!!! |
