dog down.

Dogs can provide incomparable
companionship and unconditional love, but if your pooch has some
behavior problems, it can be a source of embarrassment or exasperation
for you. Milwaukee dog behavior expert Amy Ammen and Waukesha-based
freelance copy writer Kitty Foth-Regner have collaborated on a new
book designed specifically to change your dog’s world (and yours!)
from hyper to happy.
Hip Ideas for Hyper Dogs (Wiley) is a
comprehensive guide that provides proven solutions that can help you
change your high-strung hound into a more cordial canine and it’s a
fun read, to boot. "We don’t promise overnight results, but the
book does provide a short course in obedience training basics and
solutions to specific problems like aggression," says Ammen, one
of the nation’s foremost authorities on training unusual breeds and
solving difficult problems.
"Hyperactive dogs tend to be
hyper-intelligent and it’s a shame to waste all that
potential," says Ammen. Her schools, Amiable Dog Training, are
located in Brookfield, Greenfield and West Allis. She also hosts Your
Family Pet, a weekly radio show on WRRD-AM 540 in Milwaukee and does
regular guest spots on television.
Ammen and Foth-Regner have worked
together before as writer and editor, but this is the first time they
have co-written a book. "The idea for this book came up a couple
of years ago when I was complaining to Amy about how my dogs were so
much more hyper than I would like," says Foth-Regner. "Amy
told me they needed more direction and the idea for the book was born.
We are hoping to help frustrated dog owners by telling them that you
can achieve control with the proper communication and training
essentials."
