Ever wondered why your dog doesn't always do what you want? Sometimes the answer lies in the mirror!

    We have had overwhelmingly positive feedback to Patricia's books here in Germany. Finally, someone knows how to write about behavior AND training in a very enlightening way. Trisha holds up a mirror to show us our behavior around dogs - and makes us laugh with the discoveries we make about ourselves. One of the reasons for her success is that she never comes across as lecturing with a wagging finger. She likes humans as much as she loves dogs which is expressed clearly in her writing."
