Karen Pryor wrote a book that I've read many times called Don't Shoot the Dog. It is a training manual for dog owners that I encourage everyone to read at least once. Anyone with a love for animals will get something from her advice and story that they may not find elsewhere.

My dog is smarter than your dog! Ever heard that one? My dog sits, fetches, heels, spins on a dime to every whistle command and comes when I call her. Can your dog do that? If that sounds familiar, I've got good news. Your dog can easily learn these simple commands. Dogs are begging to be trained.
