Juggling a full-time job with a happy, well-behaved dog can feel impossible. This book is the antidote to guilt and overwhelm. The Working Owner's Dog delivers a straightforward, science-informed routine that respects your limited hours and your dog's needs. You'll discover how to structure mornings, manage the workday with enrichment and safe confinement, and reconnect through focused evening activities. All training is reward-based and force-free—no shortcuts, no dominance myths. Learn to address separation anxiety, build calm greetings, and fit in brain games when you're exhausted. Honest about what's realistic, kind about what's not. Includes practical checklists for busy weeks, guidance on choosing dog walkers and daycare, and how to adjust your routine as your dog ages. No guilt, no gimmicks—just a plan you can actually stick to. Part of The Dog Owner's Library.
