Small Dogs, Big Hearts: A Guide to Caring for Your Little Dog by Darlene Arden

Small dogs are charming, intelligent, and loving, but they can also be overly energetic, manipulative, and stubborn. How do you ensure that your little dog becomes a fun, feisty best friend rather than a tiny terror?

This revised and updated edition of the classic The Irrepressible Toy Dog follows the small dog from puppyhood through the senior years, giving advice on important topics like:

* socialization
* housetraining
* behavior
* nutrition
* healthcare
* pampering your pint-sized pooch

With lots of adorable photos, you’ll see small dogs at their best while you learn to bring out the best in your little bundle of love.

Small Dogs, Big Hearts also features the very latest, safest, and fastest training methods for little dogs. There’s no need to use training methods from the past that don’t work well with most dogs, let alone little ones who view the world and their owners from a very different vantage point. You’ll find everything you need to know to train your little dog, from housetraining to house manners, in this updated volume.
