The Loved Dog by Andrea Cagan, Tamar Geller (2007, Hardcover)

It advises how to love and discipline your pet without breaking it's spirit
All animal lovers should read this book

I haven't been able to start the book yet. I saw Andrea on Oprah and how she helped Oprah with her dogs. So I thought I would buy her book and my boyfriend and I would read it together to get some pointers on how to raise a puppy. We live with two right now, that our our roommates. But are looking to get a puppy from the pound and want knowledge on how to teach our pup some good manners, so he have got to learn from a Pro.

Love the book! It is really great to get the nonaggressive ways to train. Not all dogs need harsh training...my lab falls into that catagory. I bought this book to get different ideas on training. I would recommend it to anybody who plans to get (or has) a puppy and even for folks who have an older dog! Easy to read and very interesting.

I should have read the entire book at Barnes and Noble for free. Instead, I bought the book and found it to very elementary in the training methods suggested. Self promoting and Hollywood name dropping abound. Would not recommend this book for anyone serious about dog training.

I saw this author on 60 minutes and had no trouble finding her book on ebay! The book is informative and very helpful. We have a small Jack Russell and did not want to discipline the wrong way, they are very high-strung dogs. I got the book for my fourteen year old daughter and so far we have been very pleased with the information found in it. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves their dog and wants to train them right.

Like how the book thoroughly explains in depth dog behavior. Only on page 75 currently. A few places it seems to drag in the beginning, but now has picked up. Bought because our young pet needs correct guidance.

Unfortunely, this transaction was deleted due to the seller not sending the item out...after wks of waitin on the book I cancel'd the order...the seller was awful & I had a lot to go thru to get a refund...they get pd quickly & the buyer has to wait until they deceide to mail the item...just was a bad experience.

I bought this for a family member with a undisciplined dog. IT WORKED !!!! Now they keep their pet under reasonable control. And they do it with loving tender ways.

I bought this book after I caught Oprah raving about Tamar Geller and her method of training her pets. Anyone who loves their dog(s) will love this book! Your relationship with each other will jump several levels! Tamar first explains all about how she learned of animal behavior and why she trains in the most non-agressive manner. She then goes into teaching the reader how to train her way. I will loan this book to all of my dog-loving friends!

excellent book. woman of faith, great. it works. your dog will love you for it. she gives her background as a basis, so you can see why she has developed the view that she has.

This book covers everything and believe me we tried almost 99% of the training tools and they WORK!!! there is no need to knee a dog not to jump. The title says it all . She teaches you how to show that you love your dog and your dog will listen to you. It works. I will not part with my copy

Although this book isn't specifically for puppies, it gives great insight on behavior training. Common sense helps to get the rest. I love that positive reinforcement is the way to go! No yelling or hitting required! It's amazing to really see how smart your dog is and to realize that maybe your dog has been smart all along, it's just the Owner who's a little behind!

This is a very good book. It is not a detailed instruction book, but hits highlights on how you can keep your dog in balance (as Cesar Millan would say) and helps new pet owners. I'm glad I bought the book.

This book was great and worked on all methods worked on my dogs. Anyone who disagrees probably did not stick with it or take the time and effort to use the methods. It really does work.

The book came highly recommended on Oprah. The read was easy and the advice has been excellant. Our puppy has been very responsive to the methods described in this book!

As I'm becoming a first time dog owner soon, I "loved" this book because it explains so simply the true nature of dogs. It made so much sense and thus, if their treated on those terms you can't fail regarding their training, behavior and being a great companion. I highly recommend it.

I saw Tamar Geller on Oprah and was highly impressed. Excellent ideas on training your dog. I have recently acquired a new Golden/Doodle and he is responding to her suggestions. This book is about training your dog to have good manners and to remain loving. Highly recommended!

I purchased The Loving Dog for the special method of training dogs. It looked so interesting and sensible on Oprah. I immediately ordered the book and it is so true. A very interesting and enjoyable book.

An excellent book, unique insight and genuine advice from a person who truly cares about dogs. Very educational, interesting, easy to read and follow. I couldn't put it down!

I bought this as a gift for my daughter and her terrible huge dog... Annie
They both love the book...

This book was recommended to me by my sister, and I was not disappointed at all. The methods for training are so simple and easy, and they work too. The only situation not covered for me was intergrating a new puppy into an all cat household. The alpha dog rule doesn't really apply when the puppy is bigger than the cats, but the cats are the boss.

Awesome book, easy to read, great methods. Highly recommend this to anyone with a dog.
