I found this book to be a great reference with several issues I've had with my dog. I find myself using many of the suggestions this book offers. It's an easy read. Also easy to access information quickly. I really appreciate the direct informative writing, unlike other dog books which write a lot of fluff before getting to the point, this book goes straight to the meat of the information. The "The Crazy Owner" chapter is spot on!

This is a terrific resource for people with anxious, shy, or fearful dogs to "get the ball rolling" regarding play. Some dogs come from rescue not knowing how to play. This book gives you a starting place.

This is a fantastic book, whether as an end-to-end read or for picking up useful bits for specific situations. The ideas in the book, of using PLAY to TRAIN your dog (in this case, train almost becomes the wrong word), are so revolutionary to adults but make sense to anyone who "trained" their childhood dog. A great reminder and resource. Highly recommend it.

This little book is a short, easy read that explains the importance of play for many reasons: bonding, enrichment, learning, exercise, etc. It includes instruction for how to engage your dog in play (including dogs that don't know how), what not to do, ideas for games, recommendations for "smart" toys, tricks you can teach them, etc. Nearly all dog owners should find things of value in this book, and this book would be especially good for novice dog owners.
