You will find positive and proven training techniques...unbiased assessments of everything that goes in, on, or around your dog…the latest medical advances and preventive breakthroughs…and much, much more! You'll gain the know-how that will keep you far away from such mistakes as… MISTAKE #1: Not giving enough thought to food. Many owners are content to give their dogs what their dogs like best. But your dog's health depends on a complete diet with a proper mix of nutrients and fewer empty calories. In fact, even so-called "wholesome" diets often have gaping holes. And did you know that there's no reason at all to buy "senior" dog food and that it can actually be dangerous to an older dog? YOUR DOG is the recipe for success when it comes to feeding. You'll be able to give your dog foods that will meet his body's needs, will contribute to his vitality, and will strengthen his immune system. You'll learn that although nutritionally speaking dry versus canned is a wash, dry tends to be better for a dog's teeth. Plus, you'll discover… |

MISTAKE #2: Being inconsistent in training. When it comes to training "sometimes" never works. To stop your dog from begging at the table, you can't give him the occasional scrap. To stop him from jumping on nervous Aunt Sally, you can't let him jump on eager Cousin Tim. "Oh, just this once" will derail your efforts every time. "Sometimes" just doesn't compute. Dogs do much better with "all or nothing." In fact, consistency, even if it's consistency your pet wouldn't choose for himself, makes him feel secure. YOUR DOG will keep training on track with rewarding results. You'll learn four steps that will end excessive barking. You'll find why "No" is a particularly fruitless word when it comes to training. You'll discover the tools and tricks to teach the four basic commands—"Sit," "Down," "Leave it," and "Come"—more quickly and effectively. Plus, you'll find… |

MISTAKE #3: Neglecting important "hands-on" care. Unfortunately, some owners think prevention is annual shots and flea collars. They look at their calendars rather than their dogs. This can mean trouble that is easily averted with more vigilant observation and, quite literally, staying in touch with your dog. YOUR DOG will show you how to assess and add to your dog's health. You'll find how a bath gives you opportunity to detect a lump or growth (plus the two essential ingredients in a dog shampoo). You'll discover how—with four simple steps—you can get your dog to look forward to a daily tooth brushing. And you'll find how to trim nails without a fight or risk of damage. And YOUR DOG will share… |

| MISTAKE #4: "Uh-oh. Quick! What should I do?" When it's your dog's health, you are both your dog's first and last lines of defense. An injury, illness, or even a life-threatening emergency can occur without warning. Unfortunately many owners are not prepared to recognize or respond to a crisis. With YOUR DOG, you will be ready to address the unforeseen with calm and confidence. You'll know when—and when not to—rush your dog to the vet. You'll be alerted to the warning signs of agonizing GDV. You'll know what a cold tail means—and what a warm nose doesn't. What to do—immediately—if your dog's eyes become cloudy. You'll learn… |
- How to tell if your dog is having a stroke (and the two most vulnerable breeds).

MISTAKE #5: Never asking, "If I were my dog…" Why do dogs chase cars? Why does thunder scare some dogs? Why do they beg at the table? (That one's pretty easy!)
