From the back cover:

“Positive is not permissive

If a dog is allowed the freedom to choose what is most rewarding to him, he always will. People may call this dog ‘independent,’ ‘stupid,”spiteful,’ ‘bad,’ ‘stubborn,’ ‘spirited,’ ‘un-trainable,’ ‘unmotivated,’ ‘unresponsive,’ ‘too energetic,’ or ‘too distracted.’ We can call this dog ‘a dog.’ Many of the dogs that need the Ruff Love program are as ‘normal’ as the next dog. They have simply learned to get what they want from their owners. Rather than the owner training the dog, the dog has successfully trained the owner!

Owners of aggressive dogs and dogs that need behavior modification will benefit from the Ruff Love program. However, Ruff Love is not designed just for troubled dogs. It will also benefit owners bringing home a new puppy or a rescue dog, handlers of performance-sport dogs, and anyone who feels that their relationship with their dog is not as good as it could be.”
