From the Publisher

More praise for Tails from the Bark Side: True Stories From the Family Dog Files:

From Dog World, January 1998:

In Tails from the Bark Side, renowned author/trainers Brain Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson enlighten readers about their own experiences in dog training, dog care, about dogs themselves and share true anecdotes that warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.

In this 233-page hardcover book, the duo recount stories such as the one about Sport, a Poodle, whose friendly smile was too-often misinterpreted as bared teeth and nearly led to his early demise; the ambassador whose dog disrupted an important meeting by chewing through a door; and Redwood, a none-too-bright Malamute, whose ideas of a walk was to lie on his back and let all 100 pounds of him by dragged down the sidewalk. The authors also included a chapter devoted to their favorite "teachers" and the special lessons they have learned from them.

From The Pilot, Southern Pines, North Carolina, November 17, 1997:

Animal lovers everywhere will enjoy this collection of tales of dogs, the authors have either had or dealt with during their careers.

Both Kilcommons and Wilson are renowned dog trainers; Wilson even has a national television series called Pet News. Wilson, a trainer, media commentator and write, owned and operated Paws to Consider before joining forces with Kilcommons to found The Family Dog.

As you might imagine, between the two of them, they've seen it all: Redwood, the "dumbest dog we ever trained," Brutus, the Bullmastiff, whose bite was worse than his bark, and Marble, who had the ability to leap tall fences.

This is a super gift idea for the stocking of a dog lover.
