A wagging tail means unconditional loyalty and love. Most dog owners want to return that affection in every way possible. But some of the common ways humans show love can be downright confusing to our pets — dogs are not furry little people. Even worse, the well-meaning affection that humans shower on their pets can actually reinforce bad dog and cat behaviors.

Fortunately, there are plenty of fast, low-fuss rewards that make both pets and people happy while reinforcing proper training and good behavior. In her latest releases, Arden Moore, a best-selling author and one of America's top pet experts, provides busy owners with simple ways to build healthy, harmonious relationships with their beloved dogs.

Small adjustments in diet, exercise, and environment can make all the difference in creating better-adjusted pets. Moore offers quick solutions that are simple to execute but often deliver big results. And her suggestions for games and playful training sessions will help owners improve time spent with their furry friends.

Happy Dog, Happy You is presented in an easy-to-read, accessible format, and is enhanced with facts, quotes, and colorful call-out boxes, making it the must-have guide for on-the-go owners. With Moore's help, even the busiest dog owner can create a happier hound and enjoy the benefits of a secure, healthy, well-behaved pup.
