From the back cover:

“What exactly is a Do-Over Dog?  It might be a shelter dog you’re working with to help her become more adoptable.  Perhaps it’s the dog you’ve adopted, rescued, or even found running stray who is now yours to live with and love…forever.  Or it could be the dog you’ve lived with for years but you realize he still has ‘issues’ that make him a challenging canine companion.  A Do-Over Dog is any dog you think needs – make that deserves – a second chance in life.

Noted author and trainer Pat Miller has spent her life working with both people and shelter dogs, family dogs, and dogs with behavior problems.  In her newest book she shares the wisdom of her years in the field of force-free, positive dog training to help give people and pets a first class life – together.
