Dog owners will laugh as they page through this book, but they'll also find a wealth of solid information on canine behavior and training. Dog ownership can be a great pleasure--until the day when Rover's owner comes home to find living room cushions shredded, while neighbors complain that the pooch barked and cried during the entire time it was left alone. Here at last is the book that tells dog owners the facts that most pet manuals leave out. It deals with many pitfalls and problems that some owners face in the course of day-to-day life with their dog, and presents sensible and humane solutions to them all. For instance, what if your dog. . . is eating too much? ... refuses to eat? ... soils the floors with urine or feces? ... jumps all over visitors? ... destroys rugs and furniture? Or does any one of dozens more things that nobody wants to put up with? These and many other behavior problems are discussed in a series of more than 130 clearly numbered and humorously illustrated entries. Readers will also find question-and-answer tables filled with expert advice in clear, jargon-free language. More than 300 color photos and illustrations. Read Less
