I really enjoyed this book. I do have a dog but she is very calm and doesn't get into trouble, most of the time. Every dog has their moments whether it's because they are bored or want attention. This book is like a "how to speak dog" book, it gives info on what certain behaviors mean, how to pick the best toys and even has games to play with your dog.

Very disappointed, learned nothing. Mostly basic training items. Reads like a child wrote it.
