Everyone believes they have the ideal dog, but in Fenella Nicholas' experience, there is always one minor flaw that the owner is dissatisfied with. It could be that the dog barks nonstop at strangers, lunges at the vacuum, chases its own shadow, eats feces, attacks small fluffy dogs, or pulls dreadfully on the leash. Whatever the issue, the handler is almost certainly to blame. Fenella, a certified dog behaviorist, explains how the issue arose, how to fix it, and how to maintain the results. She provides advice from the beginning on purchasing a new puppy, explaining why rules and boundaries are critical from the start. A dog reared solely on affection, without exercise or discipline, is a disaster waiting to happen.

Fenella trained using Cesar Millan's methodology. The emphasis is on training the owner, not the dog. By approaching every problem from the dog's perspective and tapping into their psychology, she demonstrates how to turn a dog around. She leaves the owner with the knowledge and tools to continue the dog's rehabilitation on a daily basis. Each problem is assigned its own chapter, and is backed up by a real-life case session. The book leaves you with tips on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle for you and your dog. This is a book for all dog owners, not just those with problematic hounds. Don't wait for things to go wrong. If you follow a few simple guidelines, you'll never have to hire a behaviorist.
