5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for working owners of dogs, January 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Weekend Dog (Paperback)

This is my favorite book dealing with the challenges of keeping _any_ dog (puppy or grown) when you're working 8-5 M-F or are gone from the house for long periods. She has wonderful ideas for solutions to challenging problems and several interesting, insightful case studies. It's a real shame this book is out of print; it was famous in the rec.pets.dogs Internet newsgroup for years. It would sell like hotcakes if it went back into print.

This review is from: The Weekend Dog (Paperback)

In a time when most families have BOTH parents working full-time jobs, it is a fact of life that the majority of dogs are "Weekend Dogs" who get attention during nights and weekends. Despite the rediculous attitude of so many people who look down on those of us who work for a living and can't be with our dogs 100% of the time, dogs can do great in these situations. The author knows her stuff, and her techniques are effective. Our dog is CONSTANTLY praised by friends and strangers alike for her great attitude and her obedience and good behavior. I wish more dog owners would read this book!
