HTML: People love their dogs. They also love their gardens. But sometimes these two passions seem to be in conflict. Dog Friendly Gardens will show you how to design your garden with your dog in mind and be your guide to dog-friendly training efforts. Every part of this book shows you how garden design and gardening tasks can blend harmoniously with dog ownership. Just like a dog can be trained to respect your indoor living space, she can also be trained to respect the garden and its many features. Garden design, pet-safe products and dog friendly training. What reviewers are saying... SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER "This terrific little book is packed with ideas and suggestions on how to design garden spaces for any yard, big or small, that will please both the resident dogs and people. It will please anybody who loves both plants and pets, and would make a fabulous holiday gift for dog owners whose darlings are not yet garden friendly". Ann Lovejoy, author of Gardening books and columnist CORNELL PLANTATIONS MAGAZINE "If you have a dog in your garden, this book would be a great addition to your reference library. If not it still offers a useful opportunity to see and analyze your outdoor space from a new, four-legged perspective." Mary Hirshfeld DOG FANCY "A thoughtful foray into the twin perfection of homeâ??woofers and flowers. Whether you want a low maintenance yard or a formal garden, consider her successes and failures before you unleash the hounds". Terry Winkelman, THE OREGONIAN "Dog Friendly Gardens is written by a dog trainer who is also a master gardener. It's full of practical, useable suggestions for designing a dog-safe yard and protecting plants from pooches." Deborah Wood, dog book author and columnist "This book not only offers down-to-earth, dog-friendly (and garden-friendly!) advice, it contains lovely photos that inspire readers of every persuasion. Suggestions on garden design, plant choice, and easy maintenance planning helps readers get the most enjoyment out of both their gardens and their dogs. The book also offers great tips on teaching your dog acceptable garden etiquetteâ??welcome advice from an author who is also a dog trainer. I give it five green-thumbs UP!" Amy D.

Author Cheryl Smith knows both dogs and gardens, as she is both a dog trainer and a master gardener. She writes from both points of view. (I was interested to see that she has written extensively about dog training, including clicker training dogs.)
In this book you can learn about garden design that will work with your dog:
Observe your dog or dogs and their habits before you create your ideal garden design. Choose materials that work well with dogs, and avoid those that don't. Select your garden plants not just for their beauty, but also for how dog-hardy they are!
And learn about dog training with your garden in mind:
How the different sizes and temperaments of the various breeds and mixed breeds affects what they do in a garden. Train your dog with boundary training, to keep him on the path. Provide places for your dogs to dig and to eliminate, and train them to use these spots. (
