Book Description

May 2008
Imagine the most entertaining and informative trip to the dog park, ever! Often the best advice comes from personal experience, so who better to offer counsel on dogs than their owners? Dog Park Wisdom shares a grassroots approach to pet care, from Fido's introduction to a new baby, to the best way to remove dog stains from car upholstery, to the ultimate shoe-chewing prevention tactic. Presented in the context of everyday life, hundreds of dog owners, dog park visitors, and folks from the "new dog economy" share hands-on wisdom and tips about the often confusing and contradictory world of dog ownership. Personal stories of advice givers and their dogs are woven throughout. Meet the dog-loving software engineer who gave up a stressful career at Microsoft to become a dog walker, and the international development worker who discovered a cure for her dog's hotspots in Uganda, which in turn helped fuel a small business project for women and girls there.

* A farmer's almanac for dog owners * Accessible advice and practical solutions for dogs at home, in the park, on the trail, and on the road * Dog tested and owner approved, this is the people's approach to dog care

5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom inside and outside the dog park, May 27, 2008
This review is from: Dog Park Wisdom: Real-World Advice on Choosing, Caring For, and Understanding Your Canine Companion (Paperback)
The title is misleading. Dog Park Wisdom, by Lisa Wogan covers a lot more than just the dog park.

This book is a handy guide for every aspect of dog ownership from picking the right puppy and choosing the right name, all the way to traveling with your dog.

From breaking bad habits to understanding canine emotions, Wogan covers everything from potty training tips to grooming, proper playtime and off-leash etiquette.

There are great anecdotal stories from the author, her friends, family, and sometimes from complete strangers. My favorite among these is why you should wear a belt when visiting the dog park.

Photos by Bev Sparks make Dog Park Wisdom visually a pleasure as well as a fun read.

Lisa Wogan continues to gather tips for dog care and share new tidbits at her blog, www.dogparkwisdom.com.

Bev Sparks photography is used by ad agencies and greeting card companies, appears in magazines and books. See her portfolio at dogphotography.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars For dog lovers, and those seeking general wisdom., May 15, 2008

This review is from: Dog Park Wisdom: Real-World Advice on Choosing, Caring For, and Understanding Your Canine Companion (Paperback)
Wogan's book is highly enjoyable (and informative), from cover to cover. So many wisdoms, so little time. From "At Home" to "On the Trail" the chapters cover it all. It goes far beyond the Dog Park, and at times, into your heart.

And of course, the amazing photography of Bev Sparks captures the true spirit of our canine counterparts. Tops!

This review is from: Dog Park Wisdom: Real-World Advice on Choosing, Caring For, and Understanding Your Canine Companion (Paperback)
This was the most entertaining and informative dog book I have read. Great common sense tid-bits from people who are not trainers, vets or dog specialists but those of us who learn from the seat of our pants. Great work and a wonderful gift for friends.
