Marjorie Carvalho (Springfield, il)
My husband and I have always owned medium sized dogs. When we purchased our Chihuahuas we looked for books on small dogs and found this one. It was perfect! There are a lot of good tips and tricks on training little dogs. Our Chiahuahuas are now well behaved little dogs. No armpit piranhas!!

Little Dogs: Training Your Pint-Sized Companion

This is a great book. I highly recommend it for anyone with a small dog. I have a number of other dog training books, but this book does provide an important perspective on training small dogs.

5 out of 5 stars Little book to train little dogs   September 1, 2008
Gail (Michigan City, IN United States)
I recently read the book: "Little Dogs: Training Your Pint-Sized Companion" by Deborah Wood.
I really liked and enjoyed this book. It is about 130 pages long and is an easy read. But she shares a lot of tips on how to train your toy breed dog and shares some insight into how these little dogs think.
This book is all about training your dog to be a better companion and a good dog that people will enjoy being around. It includes a brief section on house training and other problem issues. It also discusses the basic commands that we should teach our dogs so that they behave and to protect them from possible harm that could happen if they do not respond to your commands.
The book is sometimes humorous and tries to get you thinking what it's like from the dog's point of view and what the dog actually hears when you say something.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has recently adopted a new puppy or even an older small breed dog. This book is for someone who is not interested in getting into performance events, but wants a well trained dog. However, it can get you thinking that, if you can train your small dog beginning obedience, perhaps you can go on to compete in other dog activities such as Rally, Obedience and/or Agility.
