This is a really short book. If you are looking for an exhaustive tome on managing multiple dogs, you may feel somewhat disappointed, especially since the authors direct you to a large list of comprehensive books at the end. But I think that would be selling the book (or as the author calls it, pamphlet) short. There are a variety of common problems outlined such as crowding the door, chaotic meal times, doggy play time, and walks, that will pose a problem for any multiple dog owner and this boo...more
Good advice on managing multiple dogs. I have the 2001 edition and wish I had the extra leash-walking info from the 2008 edition. I found the info on play between two dogs to be especially helpful.
At the end of the day, the advice is prevention, give your dogs individual attention, and work up to working with them as a group.

Good tips on how to work with your dogs when you have more than one in the house. I haven't started group training yet, because we are working on individual training, but we will definitely get some use out of this book.
Multi-dog households aren't always easy, but having a few good strategies make everthing run better. Two excellent trainers help make the world of multiple dog households seem easy and orderly. It's working at my house.
Some of the best information I've found on how to cope with a multiple dogs in your home. It is an easy and quick read, and I recommend it to anyone who has more than 1 dog.
This book is not just a bunch of blah de blah information. It's a very short read with real live raw wisdom... a quick-stop in your journey to canine enlightenment.
This book was very helpful, and I recommend it to anyone who has more than one dog. With my three, it has given me hope for a more sane life. Now that I've read through the whole thing, I will go back and read each section, then put the helpful directions into practice before I procede to the next section.

Dogs rule.
Love the philosophy. We were feeling stressed out about the advice to let our dogs "work it out." Our household is much more peaceful now.
Lots of good tips.
Good book...love Patricia McConnell's techniques!
