NOW, AT LAST, YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR DOG
You think your life is crazy. Try looking at the world through your dog's big melting brown eyes. If your dog is neurotic (and what dog isn't these days?), consider these helpful pointers:
• Don't interrupt your dog's naps—remember, he needs your bed far more than you do.
• Don't force your dog to play fetch just because you feel like it—keep in mind his busy schedule too.
• Never bark orders at your dog. "Please" and "thank you" work wonders with the neurotic dog.
• Give your dog a canine personality quiz—it's the first step before starting him on full-fledged psychoanalysis.
• If all else fails, feed him!

Stephen Baker's delightful HOW TO LIVE WITH A NEUROTIC DOG is sure to have both you and your canine companion rolling on the floor and begging for more.

Can the neurotic dog be cured?
5 Stars
Can the neurotic dog be cured?
In "How to Live with a Neurotic Dog", Stephen Baker posits the ultimate question: "Can the neurotic dog be cured?" Of course to answer that question, we must first find out why the dog is neurotic to begin with.In true psychoanalytical fashion, Baker delves into the canine subconscious, sorting through the mass of insecurities and phobias that make up the dog's psyche. It is no surprise (to the dog anyway), the root cause of anxiety for man's best friend is man.The inhuman treatment that men (and women) inflict upon our four-legged friends is described in detail, and it makes the sensitive reader cringe to contemplate. Rigorous demands on the dog's system include our insistence they remain awake for minutes at a time, as well as restricting the quantity and quality of the food they eat. Every movement the dog makes is micro-managed, from where they sleep to where they go to the bathroom. It's small wonder that our pets are neurotic!With the aid of illustrative examples by Eric Gurney, Baker gives us a roadmap to healing the divide between man and beast. If you love your dog, you owe it to yourself and your pet to read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun & lighthearted read

Very cute book. Although I am a dog person, I now have a cat. I had gotten How to Live with a Neurotic Cat & liked it so when I saw How to Live with a Neurotic Dog, I ordered 2 copies as gifts for friends who have dogs. Whether it's cats or dogs, any owner will, I believe, see themselves or the cats or dogs that own them in the pages of these books. They are a fun read & I'm sure will be kept or passed on to the next animal lover.

Sitting in the Vet's office, I picked up this book to pass the time. Within seconds I was laughing quietly, recognizing myself and my friends on every page. While this is an older book, I had no trouble finding it through Amazon.com and purchased a copy for several of my friends, as well as myself. A light read, this book will have you chuckling for days ~ a must for dog owners. I understand there is a cat version as well. Good job, Mr. Baker.

This book was not as cute as I had hoped. It has just some basic black and white cartoon sketches and very little, very dry humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Present I didn't want to give away...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2013
Verified Purchase
I was recommended this from my husband for my Parents (who have the most adorable but undeniably neurotic dog ever to have graced the earth).. I bought it light heartedly as an extra present. I think it turned out to steal the show. I cannot review it fully as I didn't read it all the way through, but I dipped in and out - IF YOU AREN'T A DOG LOVER WALK AWAY NOW and was crying laughing within minutes, when my Dad unwrapped it on Christmas day, he had tears running down his cheeks (in a good way) in just moments.

It truly highlights the good and the bad sides of canine ownership, the cartoons are spot on, the writing is absolutely brilliant.

The next step is to buy a copy for myself.
Or to read my Dads with his crazy labrador on my lap.. :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that funny.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2021

I did start to read this, and actually am surprised to see I have read over half of it - so on the plus side, at least it's short. But it really is not all that informative, or particularly funny either. OK to fill in those long idle minutes in waiting rooms, but other than that, I wouldn't honestly recommend.
