Halliburton is an animal behaviorist and trainer from New Mexico, where she worked with pet owners for over 20 years. Raising Rover is a unique attempt to provide breed-specific guidelines for dealing with problem behaviors as well as basic training techniques. The first half of the book discusses general considerations in training and avoiding problem behaviors. Topics range from housebreaking to chewing, play, protectiveness, and multiple-dog families. The advice offered is sound, if somewhat superficial; anyone dealing with deeply ingrained behaviors will need to seek professional assistance. The last half of the book discusses some of the more popular breeds, explaining what the breed was originally intended to do and how this affects its behavior and training. Housebreaking and -training considerations are targeted, with practical information most people wouldn't be aware of until they actually own a dog of that breed. Those considering the purchase of a dog should read these sections before taking one into their home. All in all, this is one of the better guides to selecting and dealing with purebred dogs. Recommended where interest in pets is high.?Edell Marie Schaefer, Brookfield P.L., Wis.
