Many dog owners have to work during the day; and some dogs don't behave when left alone during the day for long stretches of time. In fact, they do everything but! We've had dirty laundry scattered and half eaten, shoes chewed, books destroyed, cupboards opened and flour eaten, leather chairs destroyed, poop in every conceivable place BUT the wee wee pad, and dog food bags chewed with food scattered all over the room! If this sounds like what you are going through, with your dog, young or old, you might find some of our tips in this book helpful. With dogs acting out, as described in the paragraph above, we either had to get rid of the dog, or outwit him. We accepted the challenge, and decided to try and outwit the dogs we've had, over the years. The "outwitting" resulted in this procedure manual, which we decided to share with others.

Jean Donaldson brings her considerable wisdom -- and wit -- to a wide variety of topics of interest to dog trainers and enthusiasts in this book from Dogwise Publishing. In 55 essays, Jean tackles issues ranging from the nature vs nurture debate, to the role of dominance in domestic dogs, to what are the most effective ways to train dogs. You will note a number of themes that flow throughout the book. Jean is a firm believer in conducting scientific research (verifiable results) rather than forming opinions based on gut feel or taking an anthropomorphic view of dog behavior. She also admits that we are flying blind on many issues because of a lack of research and tells the reader when that is the case. She looks at problem behaviors (problems for humans at least) from the perspective that both a dog's genes and environment impact behavior, and our ability to modify such behaviors is sometimes muddled since we don't always understand how genetics and environment interact. And finally, just what is a Dog Mom (or Dad) and how did that phenomenon develop and what is its genetic usefulness, if any, to both dogs and people?! Along with her other best selling books, Oh Behave! is destined to be a classic in the literature on dog behavior.
