a compassionate training guide
for dogs and their people
Ten Speed Press.Celestial Arts.Book News
Imagine how easy dog training would be if dogs could tell people exactly what to say and do to get the results they want! With Rover, Don't Roll Over, professional dog trainer and behavioral therapist Jody Rosengarten taps into our four-legged friends' perspective to present new, more realistic approaches to dog training with amazing results.
This pro-dog, anti-dogmatic manual rejects the rigidity of traditional obedience training in favor of kinder, gentler practices that delight in dogs' natural joie de vivre. The practical exercises are broken down into simple steps and their real-life application is flexible enough to honor the individuality of each dog, his person, and their relationship. Finally, here's a training guide that anticipates potential behavioral problems and offers prevention methods with compassion and respect for man's best friend.
Authoritative yet also warm and funny, Rover, Don't Roll Over digs deeper than the mere mechanics of obedience training to reveal a clear command of dog behavior and an astute awareness of human psychology. Whether training a puppy or a longtime companion, dog devotees will learn how to solve problems and address a dog's special needs. Jody also includes daily exercises, trouble-shooting tips, and a special-needs chapter for training The Timid Dog, The Bossy Dog, and The Lonely Dog.
For busy people who want a well-behaved dog, Rover, Don't Roll Over achieves better results by allowing dog lovers to understand what makes their companions really tick.

Reviews for Rover!
Whether you are thinking about getting a dog or already have one this is a must read for every dog owner. I only wish I had read this book before I raised my golden retriever, it would have been so much easier and the results would have been better too! Common sense and compassion are the way to go here, think like a dog, and not only will you have better behaved dogs, you will be a better person as well. Hedi
How refreshing to read a book about training dogs that is warm, funny, insightful and filled with practical exercises and behavioral techniques that really work! I couldn't put Rover down! Jody's insight into the psychology of the human paired with her uncanny ability to understand a canines' psyche makes this training guide, hands down, a must have for any dog owner or anyone thinking about adopting a puppy or dog. Her compassion, humor and knowledge have made me a life-long fan! Patty
