By Darlene Arden
Do You Know a Dog
Who Could Use Some Petiquette?
Does your dog:
- Jump on your guests?
- Bark incessantly?
- Beg for food?
- Get aggressive with other dogs?
Then relax! In all the years she’s helped owners better relate to their dogs, animal behavior consultant Darlene Arden knows there’s no dog (or human) who can’t be helped in the behavior department--and she’s here to provide the 411 for all kinds of doggie dilemmas in this must-have primer on the essentials of pet etiquette.
Filled with the most often asked questions, plus humorous tales of dogs and owners gone bad--and over the top--this complete guide to canine comportment will teach you how to solve any problem, from the embarrassing to the downright unacceptable, including when your dog . . .
- Humps your guests
- Gives you "love bites”
- Ignores you
- Has a gas problem
- Pees everywhere except outside
- Eats strange things
- Uses your furniture as a chew toy
- Acts like the “sex police”
- Is afraid of thunder
- and more!
With this ultimate how-to-handle-it book, you and your canine friend will be the envy of the dog park (or at least you will not be asked to leave).

Everyone Is Wagging About Rover, Get Off Her Leg!
“An upbeat, practical guide to teaching good canine manners, Rover, Get Off Her Leg! is also a hilarious field guide to dog misdeeds that range from the annoying and embarrassing to the utterly mortifying. Fortunately for dog owners everywhere, author Darlene Arden speaks to the unspeakable with great good humor and practical wisdom. Highly recommended!”
--Susan Conant, author of Gaits of Heaven, Scratch the Surface
“Humor is good, accuracy is essential--and Darlene Arden provides both, as she answers questions we’re so often too embarrassed to ask, which assuredly gives this a leg up on other books. And I can honestly say among the countless books on dogs I’ve read, this is the only one with a chapter called, ‘Sex and the Dog Owner.’ Just between us, I learned a little myself.”
