Live and Learn

I wish that I had read this book before me and my first, third, and seventh wives split (not all at once ha ha ha). I had always that thought that getting right in my dog's face and telling them how they caused the divorce was the best policy. I would usually scream something along the lines of "I HATE YOU DOG! If only we had gotten a cat everything would be alright!" Man do I have egg on my face. I now know that dogs have feelings, and shouldn't have to bear the emotional baggage from my multiple failed marriages. I would like to personally thank Jennifer Keene for changing how I view my dogs. From here on out I will make sure that my kids understand that it is their fault my marriages fail, and they should try to be more like the dog.

Positive solutions for a tough situation

Written for people breaking up that have dogs together or for those who have friends and family in the situation, WCSTFTD tackles tough issues with the best interest of the canine(s) in mind.

The author uses her own divorce experience and certified positive reinforcement dog training methods to guide you through topics such as dog custody, finances, behavior problems and fun ways to bond again with your pup. It's a book that fits a wide range of circumstances and highly recommended for anyone who needs a resource to make the best of a breakup involving your other best friend -- your dog.
