Negative Positive
Title: A waste of your time and money...Seriously.
Review: I recently bought this book with Maltese: A complete owner's manual by Barron's--and the "Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet" was a waste of money comparatively.The "GUIDE" reads like a 5th grader's instruction manual. The author touches upon many useless topics to the new dog owner and seemingly knows little about the dog's ancestry.Furthermore, the author advocates for positive-reinforcement training only while advising extreme caution against any type of negative reinforcement. This failure to recognize an important training technique for say, barking problems, illustrates this particular author's failure to address the basic dog owner's needs.I found this book to be condescending at best and in most instances a poor reference. If you want to read a solid book about the Maltese breed, bypass this book and read Maltese: a complete owner's manual. I hope I've saved someone the time I wasted on this poor excuse for a dog book.
