1. Zak George - I watch the videos often because I’m probably getting a dog soon. We sent in the application and are very excited. These reviews are a big help and love the book. To clarify this book isn’t really for people who’ve already had a dog. Pretty much just the basics on training a first puppy.

2. BEST DOG BOOK - If you have a new pup or thinking about adding a furry family memeber READ THIS BOOK! It’s got everything you need . From a checklist of what to have before bringing to her furry friend home to tips & tricks with in depth how to videos . This would also make a great gift if you know of anything getting a pup or just got one!

3. A loving and inspiring approach - I have a four and a half month old rescue pup who has gotten some of the basics in this book down and is LOVING the positive reinforcement and inside out approach. She’s come in gone through curious chewing phases and still acts out here and there but is much happier when we guide her what to chew and use gentle corrections and treat lures. I recommend this book to any new or existing pet owner. Gonna go back and read again :)

4. Save your money - This book didn’t say anything anyone who’s had dogs already knows. Every problem i was hoping to find help with either wasn’t in the book or skimmed over (like digging). the accompanying videos are half Zak promoting the book you e already bought. If you know the basics of positive reinforcement, this book will not help

5. The real deal! - The best thing you could ever do for yourself and your new pup is read this book. It’s an easy no nonsense everything you need to know about your new pup. Once you start reading it you won’t want to put it down. It gives you so much confidence, takes a big load off your shoulders. You won’t do anything but succeed it’s amazing I am so thankful for this book. And access to all the videos that go along with the training, it’s a must have! Thanks

6. So far so awesome - I have a male cockapoo puppy who is months old. I don’t have any experience with training dogs since he is my first dog. I have been training him with the techniques in this book since I got him a month ago, and they work! It has taken plenty of effort on my part, but simply following the instructions - with plenty of repetition - has worked great with my pup.

7. Life-Changing - My wife and I have been considering a dog for quite some time now. Through reading this book we realized that we are very capable and excited to bond with and train a dog of our very own. Although we have not yet found our perfect pup I have had the opportunity to to implement many of Zak’s methods taught in this book with a twelve year old beagle. The beagle belongs to my in-laws and has never been trained at all. Although he is an old dog with many bad habits we have created a new bond with him that has given him an entirely new quality of life. He has learned ten new tricks and counting, as well as how to properly play fetch, and walk nicely on leash. We are so excited to get our own dog in the near future and have an amazing bond with a well trained dog all due to the knowledge we gained from reading this fantastic book.

8. Awesome - Great positive form of dog training! First saw the author's youtube dog training videos about positive reinforcement training and was happy to see he also wrote a book on it. He focuses mainly on the fact that we should train our dogs in a positive and sincere manner before any negative behavior even occurs. He has found the balance between the various forms of training and created a way for us to have dialogue with our furbabies! Other topics other than training include basic care, hygiene, how to pick a trainer, a vet, and much more. Overall a very good book and an easy read. I look forward to implementing his techniques when I bring home my furbaby in another month!

1. Loved this book! - There are so many valuable tips and tricks (and also what not to-do’s) that I learned from this book. The penny bottle is so effective in many areas, even for my stubborn and playful little German Shepherd girl who has her own ideas for the day! Definitely worth reading and referring back to over and over! This book will help me build strong bonds with the rest of the dogs that come into my life.

2. Amazing techniques - This is the second dog training book I’ve read so far. The techniques he uses make so much sense to me and they are simple and straightforward. The book is even entertaining to read and not dry like the other book I read. I started reading because we want to add another dog to our family and I like the idea of rescuing a shelter dog. What I realized was how much I could have been doing with our year old dog that we already have. I have applied some of his techniques and I have bonded more with our “stubborn and difficult to train” dog more in the last month than I have in the last years we have had him. Highly recommend.

3. a must read for positive dog training! - Excellent book…Easy to read and understand…Who knew that a bottle of coins could be such an important training tool! Thank you Brandon for reminding us to be patient and calm while training and to love our "trainees" as unconditionally as they love us. If there is to be a second book, I will look forward to reading it.

1. KonMarie method transformed my lifestyle! - This book transforms not only my life, but also my lifestyle! I had been procrastinating de-cluttering & tidying up our kitchen & dining on our farm for years! In the past ten years, I had tried many ways of de-cluttering & tidying up but the space never lit up with an everlasting joy & beauty. It inevitably returned into disorder, excess, and clutter. Marie Kondo was like the fairy God mother appearing in Cinderella’s life on the night of the Royal Ball! days of inspired clean-up has happened through me. The kitchen/dining turns out to be only a tiny part of it! Our farm is transformed & so am I. I am grateful for the countless lessons I have learnt from reading this book. I had lost track of time. It is as if I claimed the summit, hoisted the flag in joy, and only during the descend did I count the days that had passed me by! I highly recommend that you read this book. It has transformed the chaos in my life into beauty, joy & orderliness. With a heart full of gratitude to Marie Kondo & wishing each one of you much joy and love! Ashwini ( From India)

2. Must read - This book has had such a transformative effect on my life. I went from someone constantly riddled with anxiety, constantly misplacing items, forgetful etc. My head was a mess, I looked a little bit like a mess, & no surprise- my room was a mess! My closest friends are now reading it and they can brag about what effect it’s had on them as well. Can’t recommend it enough.

3. Reminders from a forgotten era - It’s really life changing to get back to what our great grandparents knew. Taking care of each item you own, having a designated place for each item that’s easy to see and use and put back. Respecting the items while you need them and passing them on to others that need them when you don’t. It’s a mindset that clears the way for great character.

4. Lots of filler - Have you ever read those web ads that promise the secret to some such thing — weight loss, self-defense, secret to charisma in dating and business — only to read long-winded success stories that hide the technique for page after page until you get to the point where you have to make a purchase in order to reveal the secrets? Reading this book is kind of like that, except you already paid for it. The pages are filled with stories that kinda-sorta illustrate some substantial points, but then you get to the points that last maybe a sentence or two and are printed in bold-face. These are very useful but you can get to them by reading the chapter or section headings and then reading the bold-faced principles, skipping through tons of filler stories. Basically, the first step is to toss out all your unused, never-to-be used items, in a particular easy-to-hard order, and do it all at once rather than in short bouts spread over months. Your resulting collection of possessions will be much reduced,which will then simplify your organization. There are other useful points like folding and arranging your clothes, and so on, but they’re easily absorbed while skimming or skipping the stories entirely.

5. Honestly Life Changing - I’m still a young man with a lot to learn and something has drawn to read book despite the fact that I haven’t read I’m almost years. It has changed me and made me appreciate more of my thing, this “KonMari” method has changed the way I look at things everyday and pushes me to change my life. Thank you Mrs. Mary Kondo

6. Unique View, Definitely More Extremist - Listen, I’m not going to sit here and say this is for a typical person looking some quick tips. Now, that being said, anything in this book could be taken with a grain of salt and modified for someone looking for an extra push. I am someone who is looking for a bigger push towards minimalism and this book had some really great suggestions. Like some other reviews, I also wish there was more focus on how to work with others if they aren’t quite on board with this view. This is lightly touched upon, but would be nice to be seen as a common theme in the book. There are some views that may be more out there such as treating clothes or the home at personal, but hey, that is what was working for the author, and I definitely see the merit. At points, I felt the book repeated over and over and over, which, I get. It is a book on tidying. It was a lot though. Main take aways -Declutter first, by category not by room -Save personal items for last -Go through items one at a time, saving only items that bring joy -Only when things are decluttered completely, find a place for remaining items and know that then they shouldn’t need to find a new space -Purchasing storage is not really a solution All in all, I learned a lot and there were great ideas for cleaning and folding that I also look forward to putting into practice to make sure my home stays and enjoyable place to live!

7. The life changing magic of tidying up - Very inspirational book and a must read for those wanting to “eliminate the clutter and stream-line their life. It’s a very well-written book which provided me with the motivation to get started. I’ve let my possessions control me for way too long and now can’t wait to start letting go and conquering the massive mounds of clutter I thought I couldn’t live without. Thanks for making it seem so simple. I’m now ready to let go and make the changes I need to live my best life!

8. Just the motivation I needed! - I can't help but feel like this book fell right into my lap exactly when I needed it most. I can't wait to wake up and put these practices into action tomorrow morning! Maria makes it very clear on how to best tackle such a big job of tidying, with practical tools anyone can implement to simplify their space, which in turn simplifies the mind and soul. Definitely a book I plan to recommend to friends!

9. Skeptical....but - Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my mother was telling me about a book she read for book club. Basically, she thought it was the worst book club book ever, and a waste of her time. We read the negative reviews and chuckled, so I decided to read the book and see what it was all about. I read the book in one day and was immediately inspired to clean out my closets of clothes. Some of the things she suggest, like cleaning out your purse everyday and talking to your belongings, seem a little strange; however, I must say that the process did let me get rid of things I have held onto for years. If only I had the energy to apply this to my entire house. It took me hours to complete the clothing purge and my back is killing me. In conclusion, I got rid of a bunch of crap and am inspired to continue.

10. Helpful tips, too much filler and repitition - I think that this book could have been summed up in a single, bulleted blog post. I did find a lot of the tips to be very helpful, but everything in between was just filler that seemed to keep repeating itself so by the time I got about half way, I just started skimming the rest. I also was disturbed by the fact that she brags about throwing away bags and bags of trash, but offers no direct alternatives to throwing things out (ie- changing shopping habits or donating items) and it all seems so wasteful to me.
2017-09-11

11. Inspired - This came to me as a recommendation. Though, I was anxious to start, this book gave practical advice. I found as soon as I had a question about the process, if I just kept reading a few more lines, I found my answers. I have already started to see the improvements in my life. Thank you Marie!
2017-03-24

12. Great Read - I love all the tips and rules this book gives! Such a great read I couldn't even put the book down! I read the whole thing and immediately started to tidy up (which is totally working!!) only thing I wish was that the examples, like specific folding of clothes - had photographed directions (or at least how the end product should work).
2017-02-17

13. Very useful - This really helped me deal with a lot of my clutter. After reading, I immediately started implementing this into my life and donating at least % of the crap I never use. It has really aided in relieving a lot of my stress. I would recommend to anyone looking for tidying solutions in their life.
2017-01-14

14. For someone who thinks they cannot... - This book has helped me understand that you donate things, throw away things & tidy up without the feelings of guilt or anxiety. I can honestly tell you hated cleaning and organizing things. It gave me the worst anxiety & I never felt as if I was doing enough. Something always had to be left until tomorrow. I realized I would clean all day long & still get nothing done. In days into following her structure I have simplified & tidied almost the downstairs of my home. Like other reviews I read said, be prepared to rid your home of many things. Once you get through your first day, you will be ready for the following days ahead. Good luck to you. You got this. Oh, I also recommend YouTubing Konmari way of folding, she explains in the book how to but I'm more visual and I know other are probably the same.

15. The life changing magic of tidying up - I just finished this book and it has definitely given me inspiration. I'm looking at things from a different perspective. I've never greeted my house or thanked my belongings but I will from now on. In between reading I've managed to clear to xtra large garbage bags of clothes out of my dresser. Look out closet and night stands here I come.
2016-10-07

16. Good, but gets quirky at the end - The book is an easy read with lots of practical advice for those that want more order in the home. As a westerner, I can say the end gets a bit wonky. She talks about greeting your house, your clothes having destiny, and thanking your possessions for working hard for you...that's a bit much. I also don't think it fully gives perspective on life with children and spouses. Time will tell if the "one fell swoop" method works.
2016-07-28

17. Aptly named - The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up is truly what is proclaims to be. Magic. As a father of kids all under the age of , I thought I would never have the time or energy to get my house in order. I have just begun my journey to simplicity with the help of this book and I can already attest to the incredible effect it has had on my wellbeing. There are those that will detract from the contents and claim that this is all just hype. All I can say is, unless you've tried the KonMari method, you have no idea and aren't qualified to speak against it. Do yourself a favor: if you really want to disprove the claims she makes in her book, try it. Earnestly, follow all of the steps she lays out and then criticize. If you haven't done exactly what she says, you haven't followed her method at all. Great advice, great humor, great book!
2016-07-17

18. The light finally went off in my head - I love this book so much! I actually got the audio book so that I could listen to it anywhere which I found to be very helpful. The idea that we should only surround ourselves with things that truly spark joy is so simple and so profound. Why do we feel the need to contantly buy things and live in clutter? A messy space is a messy mind. I listened to this times to really let it all sink in before I started my “tidying.” I was able to donate bags to goodwill and throw away about more large trash bags full of stuff that I don’t know why I held onto. It’s been the best thing to happen to my home and my mindset. It feels incredible. Thank you Marie Kondo!

19. The life changing magic of tidying up - Easy read. Clearly and simply written. Tips are so practical and the less "conventional" methods all come with very clear and practical rationale. I am an avid reader, accustomed to much more challenging books but when one is reading to "tidy" and clear ones physical and mental/emotional spaces, it is refreshing to have a book written as clearly and simply as this is written. I am implementing these tips ASAP. Thank you for spreading clarity and joy!
2016-06-06

20. the life changing magic of tidying up - don’t buy this. if you live in an average size house in the US this advice is ridiculous. If you are not a HOARDER, then figure it out for yourself and don’t waste your money on this book. And, if you are a hoarder, you will seriously not listen to her advice. She will drive you off the edge!
2016-05-11

21. Simple Minded - Let me sum up the whole book for you: Have less crap. Seriously. It's that simple. I thought this book would be a fun take on making a space more zen, perhaps some feng shui... Nope. It's literally a lesson in de-cluttering your space. Because apparently million people don't know how to minimize their junk.
2016-05-06

22. Interesting book - As a military wife we have moved all over the world. In the past nine years alone we have moved times. If each house got to tell me what to keep I wouldn't have anything for our home when we retire. Further, I am not really interested in that kind of magic. That being said asking ones self if something brings joy is a wonderful way of getting rid of the belongings that are just taking up space. I have been working thru my belongings donating or selling what no longer works for me. It is indeed gratifying, both spatially and mentally.

23. Life-Changing Magic of tidying Up - Once I started this book, I had to finish it! it took me just days..not reading all the time , of course. I am one who lives in a small place, has many items that have been “saved” for years. I think with this method, I will be able to make clear decisions about each thing. I have been called “packrat” many times throughout my life, but thie instructions in this little book may help me leave THAT behind!
2016-01-25

24. Life changing - I can't begin to describe how necessary this book is to read. If you are looking for a change in your life, ready to confront your clutter and take back control of your life... You need to start reading it, yesterday!! I spent Monday through Friday of this week purging my house. I went from thinking we needed an addition to our home because we were out of room to having two empty closets, empty shelves, empty drawers and that's not including my garage yet. I was easily able to discard large trash bags to either the trash/recycling/donation center. My house feels clean and the air, just like Marie Kondo describes, has changed. It's different and there's really no other way to describe it. Some of the things she says makes me laugh because I can't imagine bowing down in prayer to my home, I choose to bow down to Jesus but the theory of tidying is definitely a magical phenomenon. There's no question about it. As for the thought, will I regress. I can say wholeheartedly, if you tidy the way described in the book like I did, you will be changed. Forever. I have no intentions of going back to my old ways. Buy this book. Take your life back.

1. I love this book - I normally stick to Romance novels. However, I decided to veer of the trail a little and read this book and I was startled to find out how much I love this book. It was incredibly insightful and very relatable. It definitely allowed me to clear my space without regret or anxiety. I would definitely recommend this book.
