Basset Hound by Terry Albert

30-minute training DVD contains bonus material specifically for your Basset Hound! Dog behavioral trainer Peggy Moran shows you how properly training your Basset Hound makes your best friend a Happy Healthy Pet for life.

The clown of the dog world, the Basset Hound's greatest joy comes from making family and friends laugh--unless, of course, he's snoozing on the couch or following the scent of a rabbit. With his good temperament, stout stature, and signature floppy ears, he has earned a reputation for being a beloved companion and a trustworthy scent hound.

Packed with full-color photographs, this fun and practical guide gives you everything you need to make your relationship with your best friend even better. Inside, you'll find:

Characteristics to look for when choosing a Basset Hound

A list of supplies you'll need before you bring him home

Advice on grooming, feeding, and training

A reproducible pet-sitter chart to keep track of important information

A bonus DVD shows you that educating your Basset Hound positively is easier and more fun than you think. You'll learn how to teach your furry friend basic commands and tricks, correct inappropriate behaviors, and understand his unique personality.
