Raising Dog Book Reviews: What Owners Say About the Book
By:Author:Raising Dog Editorial
Updated on:October 29, 2026
The Raising Dog book is a customized dog training book built from a quiz about your dog, and owner reviews of it are warm and specific. Owners praise how relevant the quiz feels, how clearly the book is laid out, and how quickly the support team answers.
Every quote below comes from a real owner, copied as written. After the quotes, you will see how your quiz answers shape your plan and where a book needs hands-on help.
What Owners Praise
Read through the reviews and the same few themes keep coming back.
The Quiz Feels Relevant
Jane felt "the questions asked to create the book were very relevant to what we want to do to improve our dogs behavior." That is the job of the quiz: it asks what a trainer would ask at a first meeting, from your dog's age band and breed to which commands they already know and which problem to fix first.
The Book Is Clear and Easy to Follow
Peter wrote: "The content in the book is well laid out and easy to follow as is the app." A clear layout matters more than it sounds, because a plan you can follow mid-session is a plan you keep using.
The Command Lessons
Kelly singles out the commands section: "There is such a dedicated section on training commands that's easy to follow, and it feels very hands on." Every later skill, from loose-leash walking to calm greetings, builds on those core cues.
Support Replies Fast
Owners also single out the fast, friendly support team, often thanking people by name for quick, polite answers. If you have a question about your order, email [email protected].
How Your Quiz Answers Shape the Plan
The mechanics of teaching a cue are the same for every dog - mark the moment, reward it, repeat. No good training book should reinvent that.
What your answers change is the order, the emphasis, the starting point and the problems covered. Tell the quiz which commands your dog already knows, and your plan starts where your dog is instead of at chapter one.
If your dog is a mix, pick the breed they take after most, and use the problem-behavior questions to describe the rest. The more accurately you answer, the closer your first chapter lands to the dog in front of you.
Myth: "Your Dog Is Trying to Be the Alpha"
Plenty of owners worry that their dog is "trying to be the boss." The idea that pet dogs pull, jump or ignore you because they want to dominate the household is one of the most repeated pieces of dog advice, and it sends you in the wrong direction.
Look at the mechanism instead. A dog that pulls on the leash gets where it wants to go faster, so pulling pays. A dog that jumps on guests gets attention, so jumping pays, and a dog that ignores "come" at the park gets more park time.
None of that needs a theory about rank; it is learning by consequence, the same process that teaches a dog to sit for a treat. That is good news, because the fix is not winning a power struggle. It is changing what pays: reward the loose leash, the four paws on the floor, the recall.
Before You Order
A few practical details help your order match exactly what you want.
Key Points
- Your book is a one-time purchase. Choose a printed book, a PDF ebook or both.
- The companion app is a separate product. It is available on its own, so add it if you want daily lessons, tracking and reminders in your pocket.
- Delivery. Your printed book is made to order and ships with a tracking link. Your ebook arrives by email as a download link, so save it straight away.
What the Book Can't Do
Your book is a plan, not a result, and no review can do your training sessions for you. It also cannot assess your dog in person.
If your dog shows aggression, panics when left alone, or changes behavior suddenly, see a vet or a qualified trainer first. Sudden changes, like house soiling in a trained dog, can have a medical cause, and serious fear is safest with hands-on help.
Where Raising Dog Fits
Raising Dog builds a training plan from your answers about your dog's breed, age, habits and problem behaviors, and delivers it as a printed book, a PDF ebook, or both. The companion app is available separately and adds daily lessons, progress tracking and reminders.
