Humorous primer or ?

So far, I've bought three copies of this book and given two to women friends. Between the writing and the elegant drawings of long-legged beauties and men with tails, one could see this as a tongue in cheek guide to female domination. For example: "From day one, you must seize the leadership role. Remain tough...You must refuse to pet or play with a disobedient dog, resisting the lure of his puppy dog eyes. He'll get the hint who's boss." "Dogs are known for begging and panting over things they're not allowed to have...Familiarize your dog with the following equation: Forbidden Temptation = Intense Emotional Pain." "The most effective method for making a dog do what you want is still the old-fashioned reward system. First, find out what you dog's favorite treats are. Then promise him one of those treats if he does what he's told. Make sure he begs a lot for it first. Note: The extra begging won't help train him any better, but it's fun to watch." I'm a guy who leaves paw prints when he walks, so I enjoyed Ms. Salmansohn's take on male-female relationships. Women hold certain advantages, and this book really plays on them. While this book can certainly be seen as humorous, it also has an unmistakably kinky flavor. Like a good fairy tale, it contains a kernel of truth about life and female-male relationships.

Love it or Hate it

This is one of those books you either love or hate. It has a very dry humor. I happen to love that. I read this with my hubby and we had a great time. We really enjoyed the section that talks about not running after your dog. My husband says that is true! Although Ms. Salmansohn described it in a humorous way.My hats off to the author for being brave enough to put this out there. Looks like she's gotten a lot of tough criticism but then again they say that any exposure is good for book sales, so you go girl!

COME ON, GUYS (and gals), LIGHTEN UP!

This book is a wonderful dramatization of all that Mars/Venus, battle-of-the-sexes, alleged-hopelessness-of-relationships stuff. Read it, laugh, maybe get just a tiny bit more insight into this stuff, and whatever you do, don't take it too seriously. Ever heard of stand-up comedy? Well, this is a stand-up book.

Don't let this book fall into the wrong hands!

This book is scary because these dog-training techniques would work very well on me and most men I know. Men should unite and buy this book -- let's take it off the shelves before the women find it!

Keep your man on a short leash

If you want a serious self help book to help you over a break up, this isn't it.If you want to seriously laugh your hiney off, nab this book!I got this book as a gift, after a particularly nasty break up had left me quite down in the dumps. I read it, and laughed myself silly! With slick artwork, and smart and funny one liners, this book is a total joy for anyone who's had man problems. The comparisons of men to dogs is so uncanny it's truly funny.My favorite? The bit where it quips: "if your dog runs away, do not chase after it, it will only make him run faster, instead, dangle a colorful plaything in his face, he will come running back". The illustration to this one liner is a woman dangling a colorful piece of lingerie in a man's face.As I said, serious self help it's not, but you know what they say, laugher is the best medicine. Read this book, especially with a best girlfriend, laugh yourself silly, and cheer up.Men are like buses, another will be by in fifteen minutes.
