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.

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 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.

This is a great book. Wogan's writing is vibrant and engaging and peppered with anecdotes from dog-lovers from all over. Doggie Yoga Classes, the best poochie sunscreen, a great 'deskunking' recipe, how to find rattlesnake avoidance training for your dog, how to ease a new partner into your pre-existing relationship with your dog...it's all here! A must-have for veteran dog owners and new dog-parents alike. Two thumbs up!
