About this ebook
Dogs are both loyal and playful pets to have around; however, dogs are also pets that require a lot of work and patience to take care of. They bark, they run around, they dig, they chew, and they can occasionally wreck some parts of your house. Nevertheless, we love dogs as they are our favorite companions.
Yet, the question is, how do we take care of them? Most dog owners have asked this question when they first brought their dog home. Not only do you need to watch over your dog, but you also have to train and exercise him. You need to know the best and most efficient way of taking care of your dog, especially when you're not around.
Since every breed is different, this book will cover the basis of how you should treat your dog regardless of the type of breed you own. Pretty soon, your dog will be doing fun tricks like shake or roll over and you'll have exclusive bragging rights as a dog owner.

This is a wonderful reference book and makes for good reading as well. I bought the book to give as a gift to a young couple whose dog needs some behavior modification. I planned to quickly scan through it to get an idea of its contents, wrap it up, and give it away. However, I ended up reading it word for word and will add it to our library! (I can think of several dog owners and parents who could use the concepts in this book for raising both dogs and children. I'll probably end up buying several copies as gifts.) Very well written book

This book not only provides clear, simple instruction to dog owners, it also gives some explanations as to what motivates dogs to obey or disobey. By providing the reasoning behind its training techniques, the messages within this book are made all the more understandable. An excellent guide.

... This is a very good read ... this book offers much more than the usual approach of `tell the dog to sit, and reward it with a treat' ... the author approaches the problem of bad dog behaviour from the owner's perspective, as well as from the dog's perspective ... a holistic approach that avoids harsh punishment ... fantastic
