Product Description
Owners of rabbits must first understand their pet's body language, then create an atmosphere of mutual trust. Rabbits can then be trained to live happily in a house or an apartment without getting into trouble. The author also suggests cage toys that will entertain both the pet and its owner. Tiitles in this series will be much appreciated by owners who don't know how to get started training caged pets, but want to learn. Correct training begins with having the right kind of housing and equipment, then getting all members of the family acquainted with the newly arrived animal. Training Your Pet books feature full-color photos on nearly every page, tips for hassle-free travel with a pet, advice on managing behavior problems, and a selection of games that owners can teach their pets to play. Paperback / 96 Pages / 6 1/2 x 7 7/8 / 2002

 ok but i've read better October 11, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is just ok. There are many more things online for free that can help a new rabbit owner. I just got my first rabbit. i researched for months before i adopted mine. This book is good for guide lines but the magazines are much better if you want solid info that you can trust. And the training isnt that helpful!
 good for beginners April 23, 2006

This would be a great book for people who have little knowledge of rabbits. It's not so much about training the rabbit, but getting along with your rabbit and keeping him/her happy and healthy. A great bargain for those new to the wonderful world of rabbits!
 Not for training, just general rabbit information September 7, 2005

I got this book from the library before I went out and bought it, and I am happy I did. Our bunny hates being picked up, hates being held, and fears coming near us sometimes (we are his third family). And the book assumes your bunny is tame and loves being held, which most bunnies don't.
For example, the training directions for a bunny trance does not start with how to get your bunny into your arms and allow you to turn it over, it starts with the bunny already in your lap, upside down. Hey Patricia Bartlett, if I could get my bunny to stay in my lap, let alone have him stay upside-down in my lap, I would not need your book!
If you have a tame, socialized bunny, you can prob train him on your own, and if your bunny needs taming training, this book will not provide it. I liked this book for the general bunny information, but for training purposes, it didn't help us.
 Brilliant, witty, charming, timeless! April 1, 2004

The moment I accepted my new job as permanent backup late shift cage-cleaning supervisor at a nearby strip mall, I immediately rushed home and ordered this book. Please allow me to preface my review with a brief childhood anecdote. I don't know exactly what inspired my love of rabbits. Was it the way Mom kept the old bacon grease in the fryer for future reuse? Or was it Dad's eye-opening, thirst-quenching, two martini breakfast and resulting toilet clog (which I inevitably would have to unclog with my bare hands)? I still don't know. Whatever the reason, I have attended my county fair every year since I was a young rabbit enthusiast in the fourth grade. In fact, when I was 15, I won Best in Show with Bother the Rabbit at the 4-H tent. (I firmly believe it was this award, circled and underlined in metallic silver ink on my otherwise boring resume, that landed me the prestigious PetCo job.) This award, comparable to an Oscar, spawned my short-lived business enterprise, "Best Rex Rabbitry," located in my parents' dismal, rodent-infested garage, and gave me my first real taste of small business ownership. It also got me out of our bug-infested house for a few minutes every day. Oh, how I miss the sight of four-inch centipedes crawling over my unread textbooks and Mom's Harlequin romance novels. In her book, "Training Your Pet Rabbit," Patricia Bartlett Pear brings it all back with her endless pontifications about rabbit folklore. She cites myriad examples of their role in magic acts, early pregnancy tests, so-called "good luck pendants," Satanic blood rituals, and 19th century literature. What the author fails to disclose is her obvious pro-life bias--she ends the book with an unprecedented, word-for-word, page-turning reenactment of The Passion of The Christ. After reading this obnoxiously highbrow novel in its original Aramaic language, I had to pour myself a stiff bacon-grease-and-gin on the rocks, unclog the toilet, and get ready for work. That night at work, I bored and alienated all of my new coworkers with paraphrased quotes from this book! Thank you for this book, Mrs. Bartlett!
