Does your dog's schedule need more arranging than your own? Does the mere prospect of leaving your dog make your spine stiffen?

Using as examples the dogs and owners she's come to know through many years of canine training, Jodi Andersen gives extremely clear and manageable step-by-step instructions that will permit you to get your house back in order, while teaching your dog to be a useful, working member of your family. The result will be a return to a harmonious and healthy household -- for you and your dog.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dog behavior unleashed!, Oct 6 2003

By A Customer

This book was too good to pass up cosidering the title and subject matter. It seems that our canine friends are much more intelligent and perceptive than we give them credit for. The author believes the our own behavior impacts our canine companions behavior. Much of the book examines this dynamic relationship.

I enjoyed the stories and the systematic approach by the author to resolve them, in a break it down into pieces to tackle each behaviorial issue seperately.

I wish the book would have included a list of common behaviorial problems and solutions on how to resolve them in an appendix for quick reference.

I would highly recommend this book to the owner at his wits ends with his dogs behavior.

By	Phyllis (Nor Cal) - See all my reviews

I really enjoyed reading this book. It helped me to see things from my dog's point of view and it also helped me to become a better owner. The book had such important lessons and if you are a dog owner or even just a dog lover (I am both) you must read this book!
