Healthcare Issues    http://www.k9web.com/dog-faqs/health-care.html#in_general

This book is a personal favorite.  Not only will you find information on selecting a dog, you will find complete information on the way your dog's body works.  The book includes instructions on setting up a home pharmacy.

The most valuable portion of the book covers symptoms your dog may have.  Simply look up the symptom and follow the flow chart to determine whether to rush your dog to the vet or follow basic home care instructions.

This book was recommended by a professional dog trainer.

Book Description
The Toolbox is a set of principles and practices you can use to analyze and address any behavior problem you may encounter.

Terry Ryan has been a dog trainer for almost three decades. She lectures extensively in the U.S., Europe, Australia and Japan, and has implemented Canine Good Citizen programs in Australia and Japan. Her short booklets have sold briskly worldwide. This is her first full-length book.
