The Dog Ate My Homework is a collection of revisited essays and thoughts on training from Jan Irving. Jan's main experience with dog training is with Clumber Spaniels but she has also been involved in show training with a number of breeds. This book is put together to inspire the reader's own thoughts and imagination, it is not a manual or a 'how to' nor 'step by step' instruction manual ... there are many, many of those out on the store shelves already.
