Synopsis

How to Live with a Neurotic Dog is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek, self-help parody that is a must have for dog owners who are baffled by their dog's quirky habits and questionable conduct. Whether Fido compulsively chews up old blankets, obsessively licks the hardwood floor, refuses to potty outside or barks uncontrollably at an empty corner, bestselling humor author Stephen Baker offers "expert" advice on understanding, analyzing, and curing aberrant behavior.

The hilarious insight from author Stephen Baker provides an inside look on neurotic dogs for those who either already own dogs and deal with this problem every day, or those who do not own dogs and enjoy laughing at those who do. If you have suffered from life with a neurotic dog, you will empathize with the author as he explains how to find peace with dogs. The canine persuasion is a funny thing, and it is easy to fall prey to their deviant ways.

Learn how to watch out for yourself and the rest of your household in How to Live with a Neurotic Dog. The newly repackaged How to Live with a Neurotic Dog covers a wide range of neuroses, including training, grooming, traveling, playing and feeding freak outs. If you also live with a finicky feline, also check out How to Live with a Neurotic Cat!

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Can you cure your neurotic dog?

One of the more important relationships in your life is the one you enjoy with your dog. He is your constant companion, and his loyalty is unmatched by any other animal--or human. But no matter how much time you spend with Fido or how many rawhides you buy for him, he always seems moody, in need of constant reassurance, and overly suspicious of the cat. What can you do?

"How to Live with a Neurotic Dog" is like a bright red fire hydrant on an otherwise dark street. This book will help you understand your dog's idiosyncrasies, such as why your canine companion insists on squeezing between you and your partner in bed, his aversion to soap and water, and the break-neck speed at which he devours his food.

Inside, you'll find prescriptive techniques and sage advice for dealing with your pooch's quirks and calming his insecurities, such as: Never buy a more expensive toy for the baby than for the dog at Christmas Invite your dog to the dining table and let him know that what's yours is his and what's his is his When shopping for your canine's clothes, avoid discount stores--he'll think you're cheap In addition, you'll find a breakthrough method for keeping your dog off your bed.

"How to Live with a Neurotic Dog" may not solve your relationship problems with your four-legged friend, but at least it will keep you both laughing. Read it with a dog you love.
