Overview

Dog-Proof Your Home and House-Proof Your Dog!

Does leaving your dog home alone result in broken lamps, chewed shoes, and warm puddles on the floor? Or does the thought of your forlorn pup waiting sadly at the door make you want to turn the car around? Help is here.

Stay-at-home dogs are a reality in today's busy world. But with proper training, a dog left home alone is neither lonely nor destructive. In Housebound Dogs, Paula Kephart helps you understand the natural tendencies and insecurities of a housebound dog on its own. With her expert advice and simple training techniques, you can make your home a safe, comfortable, and cheery haven for your canine companion, and your dog will learn to be trustworthy and responsible in the house.
