The Dog Owner’s Manual

About the Book

Pee stains on the carpet. Barking at all hours of the night. That embarrassing thing he does with your leg. It’s enough to make you cry out, “Why doesn’t my dog have an owner’s manual?” And now, thankfully, he does.

Through step-by-step instructions and helpful schematic diagrams, The Dog Owner’s Manual explores hundreds of frequently asked questions: Which breeds interface best with children? How can I program my model to fetch? And why is its nose always wet? Whatever your concerns, you’ll find the answers right here-courtesy of celebrated veterinarian Dr. David Brunner and acclaimed author Sam Stall. Together, they provide plenty of useful advice for both new and experienced dog owners.

DR. DAVID BRUNNER has owned and operated the Broad Ripple Animal Clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana, for more than 20 years. His clinic has received the highest level of accreditation from the ASPCA. He is the coauthor of The Cat Owner’s Manual.

SAM STALL is a freelance writer and the coauthor of several books, including The Cat Owner’s Manual, Dirty Words of Wisdom, and As Seen on TV.
