Product Description
Furry, cuddly, and bursting with energy, lovable ferrets are becoming increasingly popular as family pets. However, keeping a ferret in the home is different from keeping a dog or cat. Books on ferrets are readily available, but Training Your Pet Ferret is the only volume that speaks directly to the issue of training. The authors explain that effective training can start anytime, whether the owner adopts an adult ferret or purchases a baby as kit. The first seventeen chapters give information on housing and equipment. Following chapters give practical advice on litter box training, getting family members including the kids used to frequent handling of the ferret, protecting the animal against household hazards, protecting carpets and houseplants from ferret damage, communicating with your pet, and even walking on a leash, hassle-free travel, and games to play. Handsome, full-color photos help to demonstrate training techniques and show ferrets in the household. Paperback / 96 Pages / 6-1/2" x 7-7/8" / 1997

 Very good training book! September 16, 2007
I loved this training guide! I loved the tips, handling instructions, and reward hints the author wrote about! This is a must have for every ferret owner!
 Okay, but not for every ferret October 23, 2005

My ferrets are either too smart or too stupid to be trained. The pictures were cute, but I couldn't find anything in it that I didn't already know from Ferrets for Dummies or Modern Ferret magazine. I read it once and gave it to the local humane society's library.
Some good info in there.. July 21, 2003

This isn't the best book out there for ferret information, but it does have some interesting tidbits in it and a bunch of cute pictures. I haven't been able to successfully use many of the methods talked about in the book with my ferrets, but it's possible they work for someone else. Every ferret is different! I give it four stars because some of the information is good, and the pictures are adorable. For the price, I can't complain. :)

Do authors needing to start every thought with inane questions make you giggle more than thorazine? Do you have have commercial grade insulin handy for inoculations after every annacdote {which is on par with Elvis sightings?). Then this book is for you.
Having raised seven and now that my girlfriend has added eight and nine ferrets I feel I a qualified to comment on the usefulness of this book - nil. We added this book to qualify for free shipping while ordering Ferrets for Dummies - a much better buy. {loads of valuable info}
Read Ferrets for Dummies and if you have a bird line the bird cage with with Ms. Somerville's exercise in ferret dreaming.

Training Your Pet Ferret is the only book I have read that really does go in depth about how to train your ferret. It is filled with useful tips and advice on how to raise a better pet. Each page in the book has information that you can use. I have used many of the tips in this book and they all have seemed to work out perfectly for me. I am very satisifed with this book. As it says in the authors note, this is not a general care guide. This is a training guide. The only thing that I thought was bad about this book is the ferret pictures. The ferrets pictured in this book always look sad and unhappy. That is the only drawback, other than that, this is a perfect book for a new ferret owner or a ferret owner that has owned ferrets for many years.
