There's a book in the collection entitled The DOg Listener, but Jan Finnell (I think I spelled her last name correctly) which I heartily recommend for anyone with any kind of dog problem. My daughter just got a 6-year-old beagle mix that acts like a puppy. She's getting her somewhat trained, but ... I plan to buy the book for her. I found it enjoyable reading even without being a dog owner myself.
