Hi Mary,
We've searched everywhere for a title such as you described: Bookshare
Amazon, Google and ... "nothing"! The two closest ones that might fit the
description are listed below, and both are on Bookshare. There is also a
great training book by the Monks of New Skete that I've always heard is very
good but it isn't on Bookshare.
Below are the closest two we could come up with, and judging by your
description, it sounds like the first one would be the best match.
Sorry we couldn't find the exact book, but we gave it our best shot (and
didn't shoot the dog, of course <smile.).
Take care!

How Dogs Think : Understanding the Canine Mind by Stanley Coren
With information not widely known to lay people, this lively guide also
provides practical advice and wisdom that allows owners to discover the best

"perfect," emotionally sound, inquisitive, happy, and obedient dog.
Combining solid science with numerous funny, informative anecdotes and
firsthand observations -- all characterized by Dr. Coren's own searching
intelligence and his (and sometimes his dogs') irrepressible sense of humor
-- How Dogs Think shatters many common myths and misconceptions about our
four-legged friends and reveals a wealth of surprises about their mental
abilities and intellectual potential.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] searching for a book
Hi, My family is planning to get a new puppy and I am searching for a book
on puppy training that I know is in the collection. I have tried doing a
simple search and an advanced search but I cannot remember the complete
title. It is called something like "don't eat the remote" or 'I'll take the
remote" or something like that. The synopsis said it would give you an idea
of how a puppy might conceive his new world and sounded like it would be a
cute helpful read-- if I could just remember the complete title or author!
Any ideas? Thanks. Mary
