Do right for your Do Over Dog
What exactly is a Do-Over Dog? It might be a shelter dog you’re working with to help her become more adoptable. Perhaps it’s the dog you’ve adopted, rescued, or even found running stray who is now yours to live with and love…forever. Or it could be the dog you’ve lived with for years but you realize he still has “issues” that make him a challenging canine companion. A Do-Over Dog is any dog that you think needs—make that deserves—a second chance in life.
Noted author and trainer Pat Miller has spent her life working with both people and shelter dogs, family dogs, and dogs with behavior problems. In her newest book she shares the wisdom of her years in the field of force-free, positive dog training to help give people and pets a first class life—together.

Canine professionals praise Do Over Dogs
Pat Miller has written yet another MUST READ for dog owners everywhere. This is the rare book that includes all the necessary information for the pet owner to select, introduce, train, implement problem prevention, and work with already existing issues in the “Do-Over Dog”—or ANY dog for that matter. The book provides enough information on each topic to be helpful without overwhelming the reader with technical jargon. I can’t think of a better book for new or prospective pet owners to read.
