Do people really love their dogs more than they love other people? It sure seems like it: According to PetSmart, eight out of ten U.S. "pet parents" buy their pooch a present during the holidays. Whether you're a new dog owner or have housed a canine companion for years, this helpful handbook ensures you're doing everything right by your furry friend. From the basics of feeding, grooming, and veterinary care to modern training philosophies and techniques, new science around doggy communication, and smart toys that entertain our pets and dispense treats in our absence (or let us watch them remotely while we're at work), this comprehensive handbook has it all.
