Over the weekend, I finished reviewing the page proofs for 101 Dog Training Tips<\/a>, which is coming out in June.<\/p>\n

The book is substantially different from Outwitting Dogs<\/a>, which I co-wrote with Terry Ryan, a professional trainer. Tips<\/em> is shorter — 12,000 words — and includes 50 photos, most of which I took myself. Outwitting Dogs<\/em> came in at around 90,000 words, if I remember correctly.<\/p>\n

So I was a bit taken aback when I read my publisher’s description of the new book. They’ve made it sound like it’s a comprehensive training book. It’s not. It’s . . . tips. Sigh. Outwitting Dogs<\/em> is a comprehensive training book. Tips<\/em>, on the other hand, is something you’d pick up when you need just a quick idea, or to brush up on your training. It’s more like a checklist. A good checklist, mind you ;-)<\/p>\n

It’s funny to feel uneasy and excited at the same time. I’ll be awfully happy when I am actually holding a bound copy in my hand. I remember the thrill when my copies of Outwitting Dogs<\/em> got here, and somehow, I don’t think that thrill ever goes away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
