Dog Park Wisdom shares a grassroots approach to pet care, from Fido's introduction to a new baby, to the best way to remove dog stains from car upholstery, to the ultimate shoe-chewing prevention tactic. Presented in the context of everyday life, hundreds of dog owners, dog park visitors, and folks from the ''new dog economy'' share hands-on wisdom and tips about the often confusing and contradictory world of dog ownership. Personal stories of advice givers and their dogs are woven throughout. Meet the dog-loving software engineer who gave up a stressful career at Microsoft to become a dog walker, and the international development worker who discovered a cure for her dog's hotspots in Uganda, which in turn helped fuel a small business project for women and girls there.

Monique Anstee believes we have made dog training much too hard, when it really is very simple. Anstee teaches you to think differently, which will help you get out of your mind and into the moment. Monique Anstee trains dogs kindly, but effectively, and her clients love her for her honesty.

With her signature no-nonsense approach and wry sense of humour, Anstee shares reflections that will inspire a-ha moments, nurture your confidence, and invite you to be more authentic with yourself and with your dog. When should you reward, and when should you tell him to try harder? How can you create ten moments a day where you can praise your dog sincerely? How can you use your own thoughts, beliefs, and body language to improve communication with your dog? How are we creating reactivity in our dogs? Anstee offers a new and inspiring way to think about your relationship with your dog, tempered with the clear-eyed perspective of one who has seen dogs and their owners find solutions to all kinds of problems. She empowers her readers to affirm their instincts with their dog, and to believe in the power to change together, each and every day.

Wisdom involves realizing what is of value to oneself and others and a genuine desire to share the knowledge in the pursuit of happiness and well-being. Wisdom may be gleaned from many sources including observing the behaviour of dogs (Canis lupus familiaris also known as Canis domesticus). Well cared for, trained and socialized dogs tend to display a positive disposition towards humans, other dogs and animals. During these encounters we can learn many valuable lessons from them as they can from us. A selection of over one hundred and fifty photographic images capturing the essence of day-to-day interactions between humans, dogs and other animals provide the basis for inspirational, motivational, comic, strategic and poignant quotes that have the potential to challenge and motivate us including at times providing the impetus to pursue our aspirations... "One of the most enriching life experiences includes the bond that develops between a human and a dog." -Pia Dowling

Lucky Dog is a hilarious and heartwarming memoir by a renowned veterinary oncologist who tells us what we can learn about health care and ourselves from our most beloved pets. What happens when a veterinary surgical oncologist (laymen’s term: cancer surgery doctor) thinks she has cancer herself? Enter Sarah Boston: a vet who suspects a suspicious growth in her neck is thyroid cancer. From the moment she uses her husband’s portable ultrasound machine to investigate her lump — he’s a vet, too — it’s clear this will not be your typical cancer memoir. She takes us on a hysterical and thought-provoking journey through the human health care system from the perspective of an animal doctor. Weaving funny and poignant stories of dogs she’s treated along the way, this is an insightful memoir about what the human medical world can learn from the way we treat our canine counterparts. Lucky Dog teaches us to trust our instincts, be our own advocates, and laugh while we’re doing it.
