Ryland, Peters & Small Ltd A Pug’s Guide to Good Manners: Lessons in Life
Book SynopsisFollow the way of the pug and learn the correct behaviour in all situations, from the park to the dinner table. Pugs play by their own set of rules. When you want them to sit, they stand; when you want them to stay, they go; and when you want them to stop eating that unidentified item on the floor, well... Traditional schools of canine thought put this behaviour down to a stubborn refusal to be trained that's inherent in the breed. Not so. This behaviour is, in fact, down to an ancient set of rules, passed down from pug generation to pug generation. A Pug's Guide to Good Manners attempts to explain these rules, thereby advancing pug-human relations to hitherto unprecedented heights.
