DOGS ON THE COUCH
by Larry Lachman & Frank Mickadeit
A thoroughly original dog book, an examination of why they behave—and misbehave—as they do, by a former human therapist turned animal therapist. Through dozens of entertaining case histories it advises on how to deal with soiling, excessive barking, biting, all without recourse to physical force. It even advises on how to deal with the loss of a beloved pet. Media-savvy Lachman has his own Web site and TV program.
