Small dogs can bring big rewards

also be overly energetic, manipulative, and stubborn. How do you

rather than a tiny terror?

classic The Irrepressible Toy Dog. It features the very latest,

you need to know to train your little dog, from housetraining to
house manners, in this updated volume.

Words of Appreciation for this book and its predecessor
include:
""The voice of experience speaks about the hidden (and not so
hidden) life of Toy dogs. Darlene Arden's sensible and practical
advice is a must for would-be Toy dog owners. -Dr. Nicholas H.
Dodman, Tufts University, Author of The Dog Who Loved Too Much
""Small Dogs, Big Hearts is an invaluable treasure of
information... It includes every aspect of puppy care from infancy
through adulthood. It is precise, beautifully written, and easily
understood by both the professional dog exhibitor and the owner of
a beloved family pet. Every person who contemplates purchasing a
dog or who has a dog should own this book."" - Victor Joris, AKC
Toy Group Judge.
""Darlene Arden has come up with an informative book which, just
like the little creatures that inspired it, manages to be of
serious intent and at the same time entertaining. A thorough
instruction manual for small dogs in general, it delves into the
breed-specific joys and idiosyncrasies of these mini-sized canine
charmers as well.""- Lilian Barber, Author, The Italian Greyhound,
21st Century.
""For anyone who has owned a small dog, the best book ever
written has been written by Darlene Arden."" - Martha Smith,
Providence Journal Bulletin.
""At last, we have a book devoted to Toy dogs written by an
authority on Toy dog care...This book would be a worthwhile
addition to any dog fancier's library."" - Glenna Fierheller, Dogs
in Canada.
""Arden's breezy, unassuming portrait of the Rodney Dangerfields
of dogdom captures everything from their blue-collar feistiness to
their charming insouciance."" - Ranny Green The Seattle Times.
""If you've never considered yourself a 'small dog person, '
this book could change your mind. If you've always loved Toys,
you'll feel vindicated. And if you're considering a change of dog
to a smaller breed this book will help you to avoid what could be
fatal mistakes. The Irrepressible Toy Dog provides good advice for
anyone with a dog, but for the Toy person it's a gift of
understanding that will shatter the myth that all little dogs are
or should be nasty, snappy brats. Brava "" -Karen L. Overall, MA,
VMD, PhD University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
