What reviewers are saying...
MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
“Dogs are not typically sedentary creatures, but they don't have to be hyperactive either. "Chill Out Fido! How to Calm Your Dog" is a guide for the dog owner who grows tired of their dog freaking out over daily things such as guests or the smell of meat. Advocating that these behaviors can be trained out of the dog, and offering tips to counteract or troubleshoot bad training, "Chill Out Fido!" is a practical dog training guide for any owner who wants to make their dog a more calm and lovable canine friend.”

| Calm your dog in the face of life's excitement, May 28, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Irith Bloom |
| 'Chill Out, Fido!' is the perfect book for the person who wants to get his or her dog's wild behavior under control. Ms. Arthur discusses the many factors that can contribute to out-of-control behavior, including such oft-overlooked causes as nutrition and lack of sleep. She also provides detailed descriptions of exercises that teach dogs to connect with their people and calm down in a variety of real life situations. A great resource for anyone who has an excitable dog. |
