Every Dog Should Come With This Book

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this book. I read this book over 15 years ago when it was given to me as a gift when I got my first dog. It is absolutely the best primer for owning a dog - whether you are going to be home with it or not. It has so many practical and useful tips for being a responsible pet owner. I read other dog books, and they were interesting and backed up a lot of what Dr. Milani said, but none were as useful as the Weekend Dog. In addition to having a practical information on puppy training, crating, dog behavior, feeding, eliminating, etc., the Weekend Dog is actually a very good read. Dr. Milani includes examples and case studies that make it interesting to read, and the pace and writing is perfect. If you are buying a dog, BUY THIS BOOK.

This book is the best around on the subject.

i bought this book in hardback when it first came out and bought paperback copies to give to friends. it is the only book i know of that really goes into depth on the dog that is left alone most of the time. i wish it was back in print.

Best book for working owners of dogs

This is my favorite book dealing with the challenges of keeping _any_ dog (puppy or grown) when you're working 8-5 M-F or are gone from the house for long periods. She has wonderful ideas for solutions to challenging problems and several interesting, insightful case studies. It's a real shame this book is out of print; it was famous in the rec.pets.dogs Internet newsgroup for years. It would sell like hotcakes if it went back into print.
