SynopsisWith more than 150,000 copies sold, Mother Knows Best is one of the top training books of all time. Based on the natural way a mother dog trains her puppies, Benjamin's training method is humane, effective and all natural. Now we've put a bright new cover on a timeless classic., "Carol Benjamin makes dog training sound like more fun than a barrel of puppies.... Mother Knows Best is a thoroughly enjoyable book whose pages may become a bit worn from constant re-reading. But it's too good to read just once." _Dogs in Canada"[The] author is someone who really loves and understands dogs, and that comes through on every page.... Every aspect of training is covered, from the basics of puppy training to structured obedience exercises, in sufficient detail and sufficient examples to show you how you can apply the advice to your own situation." _Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine Animal Health Newsletter"Carol Benjamin has written a breakthrough book that exposes the fallacy of humanizing dogs and calls for an intelligent, reasoned, and painstaking re-evaluation of just how dogs are originally educated." _Job Michael Evans, Dog Fancy"This book is full of excellent information and innovative ideas for turning that cute puppy into a true companion...an excellent book to give or recommend." _AKC GazetteA Howell Dog Book of Distinction

This is the best dog training book around. I've been using it for 20 years. Only had to replace it because the last one got too tattered and torn.
