Ratings and reviews

Book was very basic, and filled with tons of insignificant info. Should have known not to waste the money, since the sample was so shallow. The ideas and info aren't bad, but when the title says you can do something in "14 days", I'm looking for a clear-cut breakdown of the 14 days. Wasn't there.

Our puppy has been trained in the 2 weeks and he is a beagle. Apparently one of the hardest to train. We got our puppy from someone else well past 6 months of age and had him potty trained 2 weeks after applying these techniques.
