About the Author: Caroline Coile has owned, trained, studied, and competed with dogs for most of her life and still finds them fascinating, frustrating, and fun. Never content to accept the established dogma of the dog world, her interest in getting to the real truth led her to research the behavior, physiology, and genetics of dogs, earning a Ph.D. along the way. She has shared her findings in over 100 scientific journal and dog magazine articles and in 17 books about dogs. Her dog writing awards include the Dog Writer's Association of America Maxwell Award, the Denlinger Award, and the Eukanuba Canine Health Award.Her own dogs include Best in Show, Best in Specialty Show, and Pedigree Award winners, as well as a #1 ranked obedience dog. Others have never set foot in any ring but are still Best in Yard winners and #1 in various vital categories, including puking on manuscripts, digging holes in chairs, pushing people off beds, and grabbing food off counters. This book is dedicated to them: Baha, Kara, Kyhber, Bobby, Khyzi, Junior, Sissy, Dixie, Hypatia, Savannah, Kitty, Beany, Jeepers, Wolfman, Stinky, Oman, Minka, Isis, Luna, and Honey.
