Gonna Buy Me a dog...(and This Book!): People Training For Dogs

Gonna Buy Me A Dog (And This Book!) is for dog owners and people who are preparing for dog ownership. Over the years, I have witnessed the sale of many puppies to people who were in their words, "just looking" and not ready to buy. How does this happen? One example is the determined father. He does not intend to purchase a puppy and makes it clear from the beginning. The puppies are cute but he is strong, holding firm to his decision that he is "here to just look." However, in no time he is writing a check while his daughter dances around with her new puppy in her arms. What happened? This father had forgotten the power of his daughter's batting eyes and gleeful plea: "Oh daddy, can I keep him?...Please!" Powerful persuaders our little ones, and Dad is seldom a match for them. However, the story seldom ends there. It might take a couple of days, weeks, or a few months but no matter the time frame the questions and pleas for help are normally the same: "How do I get this dog to stop peeing on my floor?," My dog won't come when I call him," or "My dog is chewing on, well everything, what do I do?" This stage is what I normally refer to as the New Dog Hangover or the Morning After Phase. The time where the thrill and excitement of owning a new pet ends, and the reality of responsible dog ownership begins. I decided to write this book to help individuals who are "just looking" and are not ready to commit to having a new dog or puppy in their home. However, this book is also intended for those people who already have a 4-legged friend and now want or need a little assistance. This is not another "Dog Training" handbook; in fact, it is the opposite. This is more of a "People Training" book.
