Beth Duman takes her experiences with her rescued dog and illustrates how to evolve a dog from orphan to family member. She aptly named her rescue dog Charlie Darwin, determined in his evolution.

This informative book is more than a training tool; it is a complete guide for creating a positive relationship between dog and human. Beth shows how to choose a dog and then introduce the dog into your family. She teaches proper socialization of dogs and care for the life of your dog.

Ms. Dumans approach is positive training and positive reinforcement. Her emphasis is on positive, intensive without being overwhelming. It is common sense and therefore easy to incorporate and maintain. She uses stories and examples to prove and illustrate her methods.

Partnering with your dog to create a positive environment makes for a good dog, but a good human as well. This can only benefit everyone. Good job, Beth Duman! Treats for everyone!
