From the back cover:

Every dog owner knows that having a canine companion is one of the most fulfilling experiences a human can have.

They also know that when a dog is having behavior problems,  it can be stressful, frustrating, and even heartbreaking. Enter Kim Brophey, award-winning canine behavior consultant.

Using cutting-edge research, Brophey has developed a groundbreaking new system that allows owners to identify exactly what their dog is struggling with, why, and how they can fix it. Brophey’s approach is unlike anything that has been published before, and will give dog owners an astonishing new understanding of what motivates and affects their dog’s behavior. Brophey’s innovative technique rethinks the way we categorise dogs, and then distills information from over twenty scientific disciplines into four comprehensive elements: learning, environment, genetics, and self.

With revolutionary tips developed for specific dog breeds, this book will change the life of every dog owner, and lead to happier human-canine relationships.

“This book is an invaluable resource, both for experienced dog lovers and for individuals seeking their first four-legged friend.” – Hal Herzog, author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat

“Refreshingly unique! Kim recognises something key that is often ignored by other works – that dogs are different from each other, predisposed to specific personalities and tendencies. Kim teaches us simple and practical ways to use these differences to give each dog a better life and a more harmonious relationship with their human.” – Alexandre Rossi, animal behaviorist of Mission Pet
