Inside you will find that I have tried to create a guide for the general dog owner. It is not intended to create a show dog or an award-winning dog, but to give you the groundwork, if that is your desire. This book is intended to help in choosing your dog, understanding your dog, training your dog in basic obedience, and accomplishing some of the general skills that are needed to be a successful dog owner. Dogs are living, loving creatures that make every effort to understand humans and try to please us by fitting into our pack. If you want the bond often seen with some other dog owners, you have to make an effort to understand the dog.

About the Author
Born in Louisiana, Don recalls that his first dog was a wild dog that was caught in the swamps of Louisiana by his father on a hunting trip. The dog was named Skippy because of a slight limp he had when he was captured. After watching the dog being handled by his father, Don was taught how to handle the dog and teach it to do certain tricks. This was the very beginning of his dog-training career. As he grew older, the dog training was left behind for other interests and pursuits, but it was never abandoned. After serving in the military, he went on to pursue a career in electronics with the telephone company, and then a career in law enforcement. During these years, he would help others with the problems they were encountering with their dogs, and present instructions to on how to correct whatever problem they had encountered.

An Internet Web site, http://www.abcantra.com, was designed to offer free information and help for dog owners.
