Do you consider your dog part of the family? More than 53 per cent of dog owners do. But when dogs are treated like humans, behaviour problems can develop. Problems like your dog jumping on every person who enters your house, or urinating in the house, or dragging you down the road when you walk him. Julie Bjelland offers hope. In "Imagine Life with a Well Behaved Dog", her years of experience inform this comprehensive book that tackles basic training and every problem behaviour under the sun. She discusses puppies and adult dogs, even special needs dogs, and tells how to choose the right dog for your family and how to intergrate him into a home with kids, other dogs, or cats. Because each dog's situation is unique, Bjelland is offering readers exclusive one-on-one guidance via her website, for up to 60 days. Here dog training often very expensive, is affordable and accessible to a broad audience. Julie's down-to-earth, uncomplicated advice is a welcome solution for a busy dog owner and aims to change the way people communicate with their dogs forever.

Reviews

"Life will be better for readers who heed Bjelland's advice. The strength of this book is the practical, user-friendly motivation it provides for owners, to shape both human and dog behaviors."--"Library Journal""" "Explicit, positive advice on tackling any problem you may have with your dog. Bjelland tells you how to change your communication with your dog so that you will have 'stress-free, unconditional love for years to come.' She also has a web site so you can contact her, and donates a portion of her profits to help dogs. This is a must- read book that can help your dog as well as other deserving canines."--"The""American Dog Magazine""" "This is NOT just another dog-training book. Believe me, I've read them all. Julie Bjelland's book is one of the best, right up there with the Monks of New Skete, The Culture Clash and How Dogs Think. ...Her approach is simple. The steps she lays out make perfect sense. I found myself having several "Ah Ha" moments. Her background as a vet-tech and a trainer for Guide Dogs for the Blind has given her opportunities to observe both ends of the leash. She understands that a successful harmonious relationship between guardian and dog begins with human behavior...This is a great book for every dog owner, whether you're a newbie or you've had dogs for years...it's a guide for achievable and purposeful goals."--"Pet Guardians of America"
