| Publisher Description: One of the funniest and most astutely observed works on the sexes since James Thurber, How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days of Less Using the Secrets of Professional Dog Trainers (over 207,000 copies in print) turns the often-expressed axiom Men are dogs into a howling little handbook on men for contemporary women. Doggie Dos and Don'ts: Gentle strokes and playful petting techniques are positive motivational techniques for rewarding good behavior. And Flight and Chase Behavior: If your dog is running away from you, the worst thing to do is chase after him . . . remain calm, act like you're having loads of fun without him, and soon he'll be trotting eagerly back. Doggie Dogmas: Dogs like to eat out of your plate. It's pointless to compete for the attention of a dog caught up in a ball game. And a quick primer on personality and temperament, from The Sporting Dog (requires daily exercise, gets bored easily, needs lots of attention) to The Hound (instinctually driven to chase and catch nearly anything that moves). With its tongue-in-cheek humor and illustrations that evoke an old Esquire magazine, How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days of Less assures that control will be yours forever, as behavioral problems vanish within twenty-one days. It's guaranteed. |
