By encouraging the owners to first analyze and understand the problem from the dog's point of view, she helps the owner take the first step in resolving the problem. Every dog owner needs to know how to manage their pets barking behavior, and dog trainers, too, will benefit from this ready-reference type resource! Get this book! This is on the recommended reading list of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers,and of the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors.

and found it very helpful in dealing with her "barking buddy".

I didn't find the book very helpful. It used a lot of words to discover why the dog barks, but not much information on how to stop it...except to say...it's very difficult.

I gave 2 stars probably because pictures were quite entertaining. The rest is absolutely useless. To stop the bark you have to eliminate the cause. Oh really? How clever! Just kill the neighbor.
