Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems
ASIN: 0380788012
Release Date: 1999-09-07 |
Book Description
You love your dog...but he has a few habits that are anything but loveable--and no amount of scolding or punishment helps. Sound familiar? The good news is that you can change your dog's unbecoming habits if you know how. This comprehensive guide to dog training covers every imaginable situation, allowing you to see right through your "difficult" dog's behavior and help him learn how to behave in a way that please you. Discover how the straightforward, unsubtle psychology of an "alpha" dominant male can turn even a canine terrorist into a well-behaved pet. Learn why your dog loves his obedience training, and why his greatest pleasure is pleasing you. I Love My Dog, But... will help you understand how dogs think--and how you can think faster than they can.

Greeeaaat Book.......2002-12-27
I have 2 adult stubborn Bichons that I adopted as adults. They were never obedience trained as pups. This book addresses all of the issues I have with them. I'm currently in the process of following Joy's instructions and I'm amazed at the results. They are a work in progress but I see light at the end of the tunnel.
**Citywulf - Dogs don't think like humans. Joy only recommended grabbing the muzzle or scruff on the neck as last options. She also recommends increasing the confidence of timid dogs. She has advocated posturing and looks - hence the ALPHA***
Proceed with Caution.......2002-08-26
I have mixed feelings about this book. She debunks many old ideas, and that's good. But using "Alpha" techniques on a dog has its risks. We do not want to raise wolves, we want to raise household companions. "Alpha" training includes using the hands to deliver such reprimands as scruff-shakes and muzzle holding. This can lead to a hand-shy dog more apt to use wolf-life reprimands on other dogs or even children considered subordinate. For timid and small dogs especially, I would recommend hands-free methods that rely on vocal tones, eye contact, and rewards.
Great Info and Fun to Read!!!.......2002-05-20
I stayed up all night reading this book, not only because the info was so good but it is extremely humorous and entertaining. I recommend this book to anyone who cares about their dog.
If You Have a Dog, You Need This Book.......2002-04-05
Thank you Joy! I have been recommending this book to everyone I know who has a dog or is just thinking about it. If I had gotten it first I wouldn't have wasted money on any other dog books. Joy explains why dogs act the way they do and how their behavoir can be changed. I have seen many people mistreating their dogs in an attempt to disipline them. Or using strange, ineffective training techniques or no training at all. Simply the best there is...as the owner of a young Border Collie I don't know how we survived until we got this book.
I Love My Dog,BUT..... It's my dog to a T.......2001-10-05
I bought this book as a last resort on how to deal with my GSD/Malamute. She was a horrible mannered thing..lol. Now she is better behaved and minds. Three HUGE cheers to Joy Tiz for her awesome book and understanding of what makes a dog tick!!!! I also keep on on her websites for more info as I go along..going to write another book Joy?
Book Description
"When you start training your dog (or dating a man), it is a good idea to have three bottom-line rules that you enforce no matter what . . ."
DOGS
No sleeping on the bed.
No jumping up on people.
No eating people's food.
MEN
Be consistent.
Have a sense of humor.
Be financially self-sufficient.
Hilarious, insightful, witty, and wise, Clare Staples is saying what most women have been thinking. And in Everything I Know About Men I Learned From My Dog, the former model and party girl turned relationship expert proves that what works for the four-legged companion in a woman's life can work equally well for the two-legged variety. Divided into immediately evident categories, such as "Selecting a Breed" and "How to Stay the Boss," and packed with good-humored observations and practical advice, Everything I Know About Men I Learned From My Dog is the perfect field guide to any girl's two most complicated companions -- her dog and her man.
From choosing the right personality to figuring out your companion's quirks and idiosyncrasies, dog ownership and human relationships can be complex affairs. What do you do when he bares his teeth or is a little clingy? How do you reward him when he is good and scold him when he is naughty? With Clare Staples's simple, clever tips, your relationships with both species will be happier and more successful.
DON'T GO FOR LOOKS
MAN: Handsome men are never a great bet. Often they have learned to rely on their looks and have not had to develop a personality or sense of humor -- far more important qualities.
DOG: Don't choose a dog for looks alone. Looks are only skin-deep -- loyalty, devotion, and eagerness to please and unconditional love are the most wonderful things.
DON'T CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE
MAN: When you first meet your man, don't change anything for him. Don't give up your friends or hobbies. Never cancel anything to be with him.
DOG: When you first get a dog, chances are he will whine when you leave him alone, but he'll get used to it and appreciate you more when you spend quality time with him.
GIVE POSITIVE REWARDS
MAN: When your man does something that you like -- such as brings you a present -- reward him. Give him a treat, spoil him.
DOG: All dogs love praise. Train a dog with positive rewards for positive behavior.
Customer Reviews:
A hilarious, fun, and enthusiastically recommended read.......2006-09-02
Everything I Know About Men I Learned From My Dog by former British model Clare Staple was actually released in the UK a year ago to much acclaim, so it's been a long wait for American readers to enjoy its appearance here. Any with an interest in pets, romance, and the modern dating scene will find Everything I Know About Men I Learned From My Dog a hilarious set of links on how to train and manage either species. From 'off days' and 'superiority' to grooming for self-worth and being elusive rather than too easy, this is a hilarious, fun, and enthusiastically recommended read.
Silly with a capital S..........2006-05-10
Silly book, done better years ago as "If a Man Answers" (also made into a movie). That time it was done very tongue in cheek, this time it's just dumb and offensive.
The Truth About Dogs.......2006-04-26
As a human behavior and relationship expert, it is important to say that comparing dogs with men or humans is an insult to the intelligence of women, period.
Clare Staples, says men and canines are synonymous: "men and dogs have the same urges and natural instincts." Staples sets out to offer "secrets and information on how to make relationships work", claiming that men can be trained like dogs. Staples misses the mark. She suggests strategies such as ignoring your man. If you ignore your man, how will you expect him not to ignore you? Staples also says to teach your man to give so he can get back. I believe that this creates the opposite result and only encourages men to be selfish and conditional.
There are no similarities between a woman's relationship with a dog and a woman's relationship with a man:
Do you and your dog get intimate?
Do you discuss your problems with your dog?
Does your dog provide for you or do you provide for your dog?
Does your dog help raise your children?
Does your dog look after you or offer you emotional or financial security?
Does your dog stimulate you intellectually?
Do you and your dog share your innermost fears and fantasies?
When you are sick, will your dog physically care for you?
There are 5 key elements to a relationship:
Friendship
Companionship
Sex
Love
Intimacy
How can you have those 5 with a dog? How would a dog help you to express your individuality and identity? What about mutual concern, joint growth, open communication, and supporting each other? How would a dog help you to grow emotionally or become self-actualized? Should we also treat our sons as dogs?
Dogs do not have the power of choice; humans do. Choosing to believe that men are like dogs only serves to insult women's intelligence and leave them unfulfilled, unsatisfied and single. Women would be better served to find equality in relationships rather than trying to master their mate, like a dog.

Book Description
Sharing special moments and occasions with family and friends is one of the great joys of life. Capturing those moments on film and preserving treasured memories forever brings years of happiness. For many, such remembrances - whether of holidays or quiet moments just relaxing on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon - would not be complete without photographs of the family dog or cat.
Now, rather than stuffing one's pictures of the family pet in the back drawer along with pictures from the vacation on the lake last summer, one can preserve them in style in the I Love My Pet Photo Albums.
These are not your typical photo albums. Each book has space to display up to 20 standard-size photographs. Softly colored cartoon-style pet illustrations decorate every page, making attractive backgrounds for the photos that will be each book's central focus.
Also, each book contains:
- Sturdy board stock construction.
- A handsome tie ribbon.
- Fourteen two-page spreads that are devoted to different themes including: On Vacation, Caught In The Act, and Playing. Each theme introduced by a clever and amusing quotation.
I Love My Dog with the singularly quirky illustrations of Helen Rawlinson, will provide canine lovers with the opportunity to prove the adage that dogs are a man's (and woman's) best friend.
For many people, their pets are an integral part of their family. Now, with these one-of-a-kind photo albums, pet lovers everywhere will have a new way to preserve and display their cherished pet photos.

Essential Reference for Classic Lionel Fans.......1999-12-30
I think that this book is extremely useful and would like to point out that the November/December 1999 issue of S Gaugian magazine has a review on page 45 in which they state that "With dozens of illustrations and charts, this fascinating little book will intrigue those looking for help with their Lionel Trains as well as those looking for a piece of model railroad history." I agree.

Great for a first time mom!.......2007-06-13
I absolutely could not have lived without this book when I was nursing my son. I read the entire book before he was born, and then used the book as a reference in the hospital and after we returned home. Frequently I would find myself supporting my son with one arm, and holding this book in the other.
This book remained on my nightstand for almost a year! I highly recommend this book for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding their child. If you're interested in learning more from Amy Spangler - check out her website [..] - it's great, too!
Wonderful resource for any new mom.......2007-06-08
It doesn't matter if you are a first time mother or if you are a mom of your third baby...you will use this book!!! There are always questions about breastfeeding and sometimes you need answers at times of the day (or night) when you can't call someone. Amy's book is perfect at these times...very easy to reference and so helpful. I love it and use it constantly!
Awesome Guide and Reference Book for Breastfeeding.......2007-04-06
This is the best reference book for any nursing mom. I have used it constantly while nursing my son. The chapters are concise and complete--something a mother up at 2am with questions and a screaming newborn needs. The drawings were very helpful in trying to figure out how to position the baby; the chapter for fathers provided a thorough explaination about their part in the breastfeeding relationship; and the chapters on milk expression and storage give exact information that a busy mom needs to read. The great part about the book is that if you only have time to read what you need, you can find it easily and get the information. It's a book that I couldn't have done without.
Fantastic for new and not-so-new nursing moms.......2007-04-04
Amy Spangler's (previous and now updated) book remained on my nightstand for 4 years straight, as I had 3 children in a span of 4 years. She covers all breastfeeding issues one can think of, addressing "normal" issues, as well as troubleshooting numerous different problems. I found her book to be extremely helpful for my one child where I had no nursing difficulties, as well as for my 2nd child with whom I had some nursing difficulties, and most importantly for my third child with whom I had significant nursing problems. Thanks in large part to Amy's book, I had an extremely rewarding nursing relationship with all 3 of my children. As an Associate Professor of Psychology with extensive clinical research publishing experience, I can also add that her book is very well-written and an invaluable resource for anyone embarking on nursing their baby.

Amy Spangler's Breastfeeding-A Parent's Guide.......2005-09-30
The book was in perfect condition. I appreciate the honesty and good service.
Informative but Repetitive.......2004-08-16
I received this book when I took a breastfeeding class at my birth hospital. I found it to be clear and concise, friendly and easy-to-understand, but quite repetitive. It seems that each chapter contains the same (useful) information, just in a different order... sometimes exact phrases are repeated. Beyond that, the book is a short, easy read with practical information on everything from getting started to storing pumped milk.
Best Breastfeeding Book/Reference.......2003-05-08
I actually got this book free from a Breastfeeding class I took, and have found it to be the most easy to use/read book - especially compared to the other 2 books I actually bought. I feel it is straightforward with facts instead of opinions, and a great reference for when I had some breastfeeding problems and concerns.
One thing not mentioned, and I haven't seen it any other books, is how the number of feedings on average reduces after the first month - and 8 feedings isn't always required.
Your best buddy while breastfeeding!.......2002-07-02
I was given this book at the hospital while taking a breastfeeding class. Even though I felt that I knew it all, when it came to actually breastfeeding my daughter I was clueless and in tears for the first week. This book provided me with the info I needed to keep on breastfeeding. I successfully breastfed for 8 months!
Clear no nonsense answers to your questions.......2001-05-12
I am a new (expectant) Mom with no experience breastfeeding. This book had the answers I was looking for with simple easy to understand pictures. This book answered questions for me I had posed to my OB/GYN but, for some reason, he couldn't communicate the answers to me in as concise a fashion as this book! I think this book is a wonderful resource. It's a fairly quick read and seems to address all the questions/problems you may face while breastfeeding.
