Product Description
Our pets are our best friends...but it's sometimes hard to figure out exactly what they're trying to communicate to us. Now, with these two books, readers can learn to use tone and inflection, eye contact, training, touch, and even telepathy, not only to solve behavior problems but to develop a richer relationship with their pets. Plus, information on how canines and felines communicate with each other will help owners interpret the woofs and whines, meows and purrs, and body language to understand what's on their pets' minds-and what they might be trying to express.
DOG issues addressed:
Socialization
Diet
Going to the Vet
Emergencies
Crate Training
Housetraining
Aggression
Destructive Chewing
Leash Problems
Separation Anxiety
Shyness
and more...

 simple-minded, lacks information June 12, 2005

4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book has some good principles, but it is repetitive, and after a while it becomes silly. Whenever you get to a point where you want some hard information, she gives you the names of a few books where you can find it, which is the one redeeming quality of this book. I cannot believe it took her more than a couple of weeks (or less) to write this. It is mostly white space, even when there are words.
 Positive, practical advice and training tips that work! April 13, 2004
Using a postive and respectful approach to dog training and communication, Adams has compiled "must have" manual for new dog people, as well as experienced guardians. It's been several years since I raised a puppy, and with the new addition to my family, Ms. Adams' "How To Say It. . ." has been the most frequently referenced volume in my fairly extensive doggy library.Puppies aren't the only topic covered, however. There are chapters on many issues, including: adding a second dog, adopting an adult dog or puppy, traveling and training your dog; health care issues as critical as diet, vaccination, and euthanasia; and specific behavior issues are tackled, such as jumping on people, leash problems, separation anxiety and counter surfing. . .and so much more. "How To Say It. . ." is at the top of my short list of recommended dog books.
Terrific! April 12, 2004

How to Say It to Your Dog is a rich handbook filled with practical tips, advice and resources. I love the author's positive and holistic approach, and how she incorporates new research (such as the new recommendations against automatic annual revaccinations) in an engaging, fun, and helpful way. 4 paws up!
Another great book from this author October 28, 2003

Janine Adams has done it again: written a book about dogs in clear, concise language that any *person* can understand. This book makes a fabulous addition to any dog owner's library.
