This is our favorite general book about owning a dog! A must-read for any about-to-be-dog owner (even if you're not a dummy!).

One of the best sources we've found on the subject of resource guarding. As young dogs most corgis will instinctively guard food and toys. It is imperative that they be socialized early so as to mitigate this becoming a problem as they mature.

Resource guarding can be very serious and lead to overly assertive behavior with other animals, and with humans. It is critical that you understand the dynamics, and how to work the situation. This book is a wonderful guide.

People do not realize it, but the greatest behavioral issue with an adult dog placement isn't the aggressive dog, it is the overly shy dog. There are more of these than I ever would have thought.

We've had several extremely shy dogs in our rescue and have had to take special care in working with them and placing them.

I found this book to be very helpful and a great sanity check!

Excellent general health reference.

When an accident or other emergency threatens your pet, every minute counts.

This excellent book is well-written, in a style that is a pleasure to read. A book that more fully explains the interaction between human and dog and illustrates how to use that understanding to more effectively communicate with your dog. Not just assumptions and fluff, this author has a depth of research as the basis for her observations and conclusions. An extremely valuable tool for owners who want to more fully understand and enhance their relationship with their canine companions.

The HomeGardenReviews site has reviews that are quite accurate.
