Keep Your Paws on the Road: A Practical Guide to Traveling with Dogs - Paperback

by Jim Walker (Author), Birgit Walker (Author)

"Keep Your Paws on the Road" is a book written by Master Dog Trainer Jim Walker and his wife Birgit Walker. Both share the love of traveling with their pets. They have combined their expertise in dog training with their experience in traveling with dogs. The book is a simple how-to-guide with a wealth of information. Whether you travel far, or just around the block, the book will give you the knowledge you need to prepare you and your dog for adventure. The authors offer dog training exercises that teach behaviors any well-mannered dog should know. From proper leash behavior to respecting open doorways, the exercises are designed to turn the reader and their pet into trusted traveling companions. Each chapter covers a new aspect of traveling and the information helps prepare the reader to design their travel in a dog-friendly manner. "As we travel across the country, I often notice other dog owners struggling with their dogs", Jim Walker explains, "from this came the idea of writing a book that would help with common behavior issues and provide information that would make traveling with dogs easier. When the dog's needs are met, pet owners experience a balanced dog that is easy to travel with."
