Mother Knows Best is a dog-training manual based on dog psychology. The theory is to repeat the actions that a mother-dog uses to teach her pups. Praise is the main reward instead of food, and ignoring the puppy is the punishment instead of yelling at the dog or locking him up. All of what Benjamin writes makes sense, but in practice I think that the success of her training methods largely depends upon the breed of the dog.

An approach to training designed to make an obedient, reliable animal of the family dog. It is easy to understand and follow and teaches you how to be in charge from the beginning. You don't have to read it from cover to cover of course, which makes it ideal for those who just got a puppy or for someone who just needs to get their dog back in line. It makes you a responsible dog owner with a disciplined pet that will help you appreciate them more.

I re-read this book and I suppose it is fine, but it says that the dog should not sleep in the bed with you. Perhaps, but I want her there. I also am not totally sure that it is better than any other dog training book out there.
