This review is from: Good Dogkeeping: Today's Guide to Caring for Your Dog (Paperback)

Diane Morgan's Good Dogkeeping: Today's Guide To Caring For Your Best Friend from the premiere publisher of pet care books is an in-depth guide to caring for a dog written for pet owners of all ages and backgrounds. Chapters cover common topics such how to housebreak one's dog, how often one's dog needs to be vaccinated, what to look for when buying a puppy, and how to clean dog drool off the walls, as well as more unusual pet problems such as how to cure carsickness in dogs, how to help dogs who are afraid of thunder, and the straight scoop about so-called "doggie day-care". An extensive list of resources as well as a special appendix devoted to breed-specific legislation (and why simply banning certain dog breeds does not solve problems stemming from canine aggression) round out this all-around must-have guide for anyone contemplating becoming a dog owner.
