Written by award-winning author Caryl Wolff, she says, “Doggie Dangers was written because I get calls all the time after something has happened – “If I would have only known…” Concerned pet parents don’t want anything like this to happen again. “As a dog trainer and behavior consultant, I drew on my 20+ years of experience in talking with clients and dog professionals along with experiences with my own dogs as well as many, many, many hours of reading in order to write this book.”
