Small dogs can bring big rewards! Small dogs are charming,
intelligent, and loving, but they can also be overly energetic,
manipulative, and stubborn. How do you ensure that your little dog
becomes a fun, feisty best friend rather than a tiny terror? Small
Dogs, Big Hearts is an updated and expanded edition of the classic
The Irrepressible Toy Dog. It features the very latest, safest, and
fastest training methods for little dogs. There's no need to use
training methods from the past that don't work well with most dogs,
let alone little ones who view the world and their owners from a
very different vantage point. You'll find everything you need to
know to train your little dog, from housetraining to house manners,
in this updated volume. Small Dogs, Big Hearts follows the small
dog from puppyhood through the senior years, giving advice on
important topics such as: * socialization * housetraining *
behavior * nutrition * healthcare * pampering your pint-sized pooch
With lots of adorable photos, you'll see small dogs at their most
charming while you learn to bring out the best in your little
bundle of love. Darlene Arden is widely acknowledged as an
authority on small dogs, and is the author of many books and
articles about dogs and their care. A member of the International
Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, she is a certified
animal behavior consultant and a regular contributor to Animal
Radio Network. 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. A Howell Dog Book of
Distinction.
