"To discover the best training method for your pooch, you have to understand her individuality. Similarly, for you to bring out the best in yourself, you need to understand your unique set of behaviors, habits, desires, and needs." - From the book

What is the difference between a short-lived want and a deep desire--and how is finding the answer to this question the key to fueling determination? What is the length of your "leash", the restrictions (conscious or unconscious) that you place on yourself? What three attributes, when combined, equal "dogged determination"? What is the dogma of success? How do you stop chasing your tail? Why is important to be nice to everyone?

Using clever canine metaphors and inspiring true-life anecdotes about our four legged friends, destiny achievement expert Peggy McColl answers these compelling questions in her newest book Be a Dog with a Bone.

From "drool unto others" to being a small dog with a "big-dog attitude", McColl packs a wealth of practical wisdom teaching valuable life lessons in this little 105-page hardcover book.

Helping readers identify their most profound aspirations, Be a Dog with a Bone also explains how to:

* Tap into latent talents
* Discover determination
* Handle adversity with grace
* Remain open to miracles
* Create positive feelings
* Practice perseverance
* Trust gut instincts
* Learn new "tricks"
* Notice unproductive behaviors
* Spread the love
* "Bark" for what you want
* Enjoy personal successes

If you're assuming dogged determination involves acting arrogant or nasty, or that going after your dreams requires sacrificing your peace of mind, destroying your health or ignoring vital relationships, think again.

Instead, the author shows life-enhancing success strategies that preserves what's important (and necessary) for each person, while at the same time, encouraging individuals to expand comfort zones, dissolve limiting beliefs, and hang on to that bone!

Be a Dog with a Bone is the third book I've read from Peggy McColl, and she's now become one of my favorite writers--one whose work I admire and recommend regularly to my clients. With her warm, engaging writing style, she generously shares the hard-won wisdom she's discovered on her own journey to living her dreams, acting as an enthusiastic coach or trusted friend to readers ready to implement changes to doggedly pursuing their highest and best life.

This is just one of the many profound truths you can learn from your dog on your way to reaching your dreams. Peggy McColl brings to life how much our dogs can teach us about life and going for our dreams. Other lessons include "Bark for what you want," Stop chasing your tail," and "Be a little dog with a big dog attitude."

Be a Dog with a Bone by Peggy McColl is the Dogma for your success. You'll find yourself feeling more inspired and creative as you reach for your "bone." Enjoy this gem of a book.

What a fun read filled with inspired thoughts of wisdom from our canine friends!! I really appreciated the author's humorous and effective use of dog-inspired metaphors that were so cleverly woven throughout the book.
I've enjoyed Peggy McColls' previous books and thought this one was doggone great too.

This is a fantastic book! It goes far beyond funny metaphors(though there are many of those :)) and takes you step by step with some coaching from our furry friends on how to follow and fulfill your dreams.

It's whimsy and wisdom all rolled into one. Another gem by Ms. McColl!

Great book! A well written and simple outline for anyone beginning the self development journey!

The book helps to grab onto the things that are very important in life and not to let go, like a dog with a bone.

I am going through some issues on weight and exercise and the book is helping me to be motivated.

Be a Dog with a Bone is a unique and simple guide book on how to seek and realize your goals. Peggy McColl is clever in the way that she presents her ideas. Anyone who has known, owned or loved a dog will understand her message clearly. I have always believed in the powerful messages that animals offer to all who will listen and this book attests to that fact. What stands out most in my mind was "...barking up the wrong tree." Thanks Peggy. Well done.

"Be A Dog With A Bone" is a compilation of common-sense wisdom told from a "dog's perspective."

This book doesn't offer any insights that cannot be found in other self-help books, but the light-hearted "dogs view" adds humor and warmth.

There is good advice to be had and as with most books of this type; it will work only if you work it.

Peggy's done it again! What a fun read....

There are a lot of things in life we can learn from our dogs, and Peggy puts them all in perspective. If you're looking for light-hearted but solid motivation for personal and professional success, this is for you.

Well written and good comparisons make this a good book for anyone - including top executives ;-)

In "Be a Dog with a Bone," Peggy McColl does it again, prompting you and I to get a clear focus on goals we seek by perceiving a workable plan with success-building objectives. To begin with, it is helpful that we relate to the persistent and determined dog with a bone, the bone being a symbol for an innovative idea. As companion, protector, hunter or rescuer, this faithful canine learns how to sniff out promising incentives en route, while perceiving a glimpse into how others may benefit. Herein lies the secret.

We must move past personal fear, by aligning the mission with our heart's true desire. Personal progress keeps your community inspired; everyone imagines practical ideas over and above what is already perceived; and success becomes the public's domain -- a collective realization for all who participate!
