Happy Dog, Happy You

Book excerpt: A wagging tail means unconditional loyalty and love. Most dog owners want to return that affection in every way possible. But some of the common ways humans show love can be downright confusing to our pets Ñ dogs are not furry little people. Even worse, the well-meaning affection that humans shower on their pets can actually reinforce bad dog and cat behaviors.
