What should you do if you can’t train your dog to heel? Or it keeps tearing up the furniture? Or it’s aggressive around other animals?

Featuring 110 colour photographs, the book deftly addresses all manner of issues, from fouling to whining, from barking to disobedience, from how to travel with your dog to how to wash your dog to how to train your dog to behave around children.
