This Book Will Change Your Dog's Life: Stimulating Canine Challenges to Ensure Every Dog Has Its Day »

Charles diBonio is obviously the kennel name for two authors who would rather not give out their real names. However, one of them is a dog owner and the other loathes self-help manuals, and they are both professionals with several other books to their credit, so their pedigree is long and impeccable.

This Book Will Change Your Dog’s Life is a radical, transformative, dictatorial antidote to canine self-help manuals.  It’s for dog-owners everywhere who feel that puppy school is just not enough or that their dogs are getting a bit rut-bound. It offers 365 life-changing challenges for your dog to do, with a bit of help from you. (For example, you can help your dog be a cat for a day, host a bone-tasting evening, or learn to skateboard). Follow the instructions and by the end of the course, you and your dog should have successfully subverted the canine stereotype, and he will be able to embark on the next book on his (or her) own.
