"My god, this is so wonderful. I've been training GSDs since 1982 and have done GSD rescue work. Most dogs hit the shelters between 6 - 8 months because the owner didn't know about the mental, emotional, and intelligence changes dogs go thru as they mature."

Donnasue J., from parts unknown.

“This is a great book! Too many puppies end up in shelters because owners don't know what to expect. This should be required reading before anyone gets a pet.”

Carol G., Stafford, VA

Beth Says...

"This book is just the beginning! I really enjoy writing the blog and hearing regularly from our readers. It gives me a chance to interact with other dog people and learn what's on their mind.

I also like helping them to solve their dog-related problems, like we were able to do with the Potty Patch.

I'm hoping this book gives readers another way to interact with me and with doggies.com."
