Angela Bockelman, DVM, "Journal of the American Veterinary Medical ""Association" Unwanted behavior is the number-one reason dogs are relinquished to shelters and rescue groups.

Combining cutting-edge science with accessible and adaptable real-life examples, this is a must-have dog behavior guide showcasing the latest veterinary-approved positive training methods. "Decoding Your Dog" will resolve the complaints, answer the curiosities, and, ultimately, challenge the way we think about our dogs.
