STOP THE GROWLS!

This book helps any dog lover (whether you share your home with one or a dozen canines). It demystifies common behaviors and dog disputes, explains aggression (it's NORMAL!), solves pet potty challenges and dinnertime woes, and redirects normal (but aggravating) dog-to-dog behaviors.

You'll find detailed prescriptive how-to advice from premier dog trainers and behaviorists on the most common problems found in the multi-dog household.
