Have you ever heard of an "alpha leader"? Do you know that dogs of all breeds and personalities are constantly evaluating their statuses in a pack (of which you are a part)? Do you know that dogs really want to please their human leaders; that they don't misbehave out of spite or any other motivation? Do you know that a dog's point of view differs from your own? If you answered "No" to any of these questions or you answered "Yes" but love to read entertaining, yet informative, books, you need to meet Dusty. "Dusty, Here!" is a conversation between Dusty, a dog, and Uncle Duffy, his "behavior modifier" and obedience trainer. Complete with delightful illustrations and pet portraits, this book is entertaining for children and adults alike and is chocked full of practical information on how you can modify your dog's behavior on a day-to-day business.

About the Author

Duff Lueder and a Collie dog became devoted friends when Duff visited his aunt and uncle's farm in the summers of his childhood. Their bond strengthened when the Collie saved 12-year-old Duffy's life. Duff cherished the memory of this demonstration of devotion between one species and another, but it wasn't until 1981 when he became a certified K-9 dog handler as part of his law enforcement career that he was given the opportunity to understand, appreciate, and reestablish that bond between dog and human. He learned how dogs learn, think, and perceive their surroundings and how to communicate with them based on their views and understanding of the world. In 1992 Duff developed his KNINEPAL TRAINING & BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION PROGRAM. Bettie LaDuke and her dog (Dusty) are two of many graduates of this program.
