Help for Your Shy Dog: Turning Your Terrified Dog Into a Terrific Pet

Autor Deborah Wood
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mai 1999

With understanding and the right training, fearful dogs need not be condemned as bad pets; rather, they can become some of the happiest and most deeply bonded dogs around--the epitome of great pets.
