Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In these witty and entertaining stories about misbehaving dogs, John Wright, one of the country's top behaviorists--and probably the only one who's been making house calls for 16 years--takes you with him on his rounds to show how he helps beleaguered dog lovers come to terms with their misbehaving pets. Wright has used his intimate knowledge of animal psychology to solve behavior problems ranging from the serious to downright funny. A great storyteller, Wright shares hilarious and insightful first-person anecdotes to help clients understand and appreciate why their dogs act the way they do, and to solve some unusually knotty problems--and, of course, to keep Fido out of trouble in the future!With the skill of a seasoned mystery writer, Wright gets to know the families and their lifestyles first, even the layout of their homes, before analyzing all the vexing doggy clues. He sheds expert light on topics such as coping with puppies and new dogs, right and wrong ways to discipline a pet, and specifically canine behavioral problems like aggression, having 'accidents,' phobias, and more.

The Dog Who Would Be King
this is an easy read for a "idiot" who wants to understand dogs. Very well written and understood.
My dog is a therapy dog and this book helped me to understand her.

Even if your pup's behavior isn't as "bad" as these dogs' behaviors are, every dog owner should read this book! It explains the positive way of training dogs to behave themselves. It tells you exactly how the thought process works for each trouble behavior the doctor encountered and the end result of the training of both dog and owner(s)! Excellent!

This is one impressive book! The stories make the book fun and easy to read, and the information is very helpful in understanding your own dog. Not a book to get if you're looking for help in training your dog, but definitely a book for those interested in understanding their pets.

This book is a very entertaining way to learn dog behavior. There is plenty of valuable information about reading any dog's body language. It reads like a series of stories, rather than a clinical type book. I lose interest quickly if the information reads like a text book. I saw my alpha male all through this book. I recommend it to anyone wanting a good book of dog stories packed with educational material about dealing with a dog who thinks he owns you!

I loved this book. It is really interesting. From those sweet stories you are able to get some tips and see how your dog behaves, therefore help yourself and your little friend in a difficult situation. If you haven't bought it, do so. You will love it!
