"CWC is not just a fun and entertaining book to read…every dog owner or soon to be dog owner should buy this book and refer to it as a training manual. I wish this was around years ago when I got my first pug. I could’ve used it."

"This book really surprised me. Its moving and funny and it opened my eyes to how backward my training…oops, teaching process, has been. Thanks Courtney!"

"Courtney is hilarious and feisty... I have had 2 goldens and they were always super smart. I loved this book because it reminded me of when they were puppies. I used to get so frustrated. I would definitely approach training differently now that I’ve read this book."

"My son has been bugging us for a puppy…we read the book and loved it and we are making him read it now too, so he understands his responsibility in helping out. He has been laughing and talking about Courtney, of course he wants a golden now. Thanks for this! "
