My Review:
Sunny Weber has written yet another dog training tool in her release of City Dog Walking Safety and Etiquette. It provides some excellent pointers for those who walk their dogs through neighborhoods and urban areas. It gives several scenarios on what to do and what not to do. These include: dogs pulling, dealing other dogs that are not securely leashed, being greeted by bicyclists, coming across wildlife, and circumstances when your favorite canine goes crazy over every little thing. Sunny Weber gives some tips that would help to cope with these and other scenarios. It is important to teaching your loving furry friend good manners and practicing safety precautions will make a fun, stressful and uneventful bonding moment with them. All throughout the book are illustrations that will help the reader to better understand what the author is trying to convey. I thought this was a great book to have on hand, as well as, would be a great gift for new dog owners or for ones who are struggling with their furry pal.
I am giving City Dog Walking Safety and Etiquette four and a half stars. Dog lovers and owners that have a beloved canine within the city limits and needs a daily walking will definitely want to read this one. I am curious to see what other dog loving books Sunny Weber releases next.
I received a paperback copy of City Dog Walking Safety and Etiquette from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Thank you for your review!
