What reviewers are saying...
This guide is as practical as it is wise, a keeper book for ready reference.-Susannah Charleson, author of Scent of the Missing: Love and Partnership with a Search-and-Rescue Dog
An informative and entertaining book . . . [Arnold's] insightful words provide knowledge every dog owner needs.-Publishers Weekly
