Rating:  Summary: A CITY DOG IS UNLIKE A COUNTRY DOG! Review: Those who own a dog and live in a city have a whole new different set of obstacles to overcome. First of all, if one is an apartment dweller, you will probably have very thin walls, with neighbours above, beside and/or below you. "Rover's" barking is not going to make you a popular tenant at the crack of dawn if, in fact, your landlord even permits pets in the first place. Then, there is the housebreaking chore, particularly if you live in a highrise and work for much of the day. Most cities also have those wonderful "pooper-scooper laws" so Rover is also restricted as to where he can do his duty even if he can be walked in the great outdoors. Unlike the country dog, freedom and space for the city dog to "do his own thing" are greatly limited.The authors have written a great book filled with tips to make city living much easier for you and your canine friend. Much of what is written here may appear to be basic common sense, but there are a number of tips that will prove to be very helpful and the book is well worth reading. If what you learn makes Rover's life easier, your life will be less stressful as well.
Rating:  Summary: The Best book Brian and Sara have ever written Review: Title says all. This as information on training, and they have updated their meathods (from Good Owners, Great Dogs) and they are more open and flexable about tactics to train any breed.
