“From Fearful to Fear Free: A Positive Program to Free Your Dog from Anxiety, Fears and Phobias” is definitely the most important pet book of the year, and likely of the decade.

How do I know my pet loves me? I get asked this question so often. I suppose first I need to address whether or not pets can love.
