Author Comment:

A behavior book with a sense of humor, I wrote this book for the average pet owner, explaining the problem along with what to do and what not to do. I also liberally sprinkled the book with anecdotes from dog owners around the world. Most of the names had to be changed to protect the "guilty." If you think you have problems, someone else has been through the same thing or worse so let's just relax and get on with resolving the behavior problem.
