Don't read this book if you can say "my dog is absolutely perfect" with a straight face. If you believe old dogs can learn new tricks; if you're looking for something more than "sit, shake, and heel;" if you want an amazing and fulfilling life for you and your dog, this is the book for you. You're the oldest dog in the house, so if you're willing to learn, Candace D'Agnolo is willing to teach you exactly what you need to move beyond alpha dog and into uncharted territory - where dog trainers alone can never take you. You have the power to choose whether you like holding the leash or sniffing the ground. How you move forward, keep your commitments, and choose your life will dictate if you are the walker or the walked. Commit to your dog and make the right choice. A collar is not a good look for you.


Not just a dogaholic, but a dog of all trades, Candace D’Agnolo is Pet Parent Expert, Founder of Dogaholics, speaker, writer, consultant and professional dog belly rub scratcher.

Commitment, chaos, and consistency have been the reoccurring challenges in Candace’s life. In surmounting her own obstacles, she has mastered the skills needed to live her life vision and give herself and her dogs the good life.
