This wonderful little book guides you through the stages of a dog's life from puppy to adult and helps you in each stage to build trust and confidence with your dog. You'll earn how to nurture desirable behaviors or discourage unwanted ones, how to overcome fear and resentment and to establish a solid and fulfilling relationship. In the heart of this book is a call to be compassionate to the beings at the other end of the leash.
