Don Aslett is called America's #1 Cleaning Expert, and for good reason, he knows cleaning. He also knows a lot about time management, organization, and getting things done, but most of all, he knows cleaning. "Pet Clean-Up Made Easy" is his guide to cleaning up pet messes, including what tools and products to use and where to find them. It's a practical book that not only helps you clean up messes, but shows you strategies to "petproof" your home and prevent messes from happening. Sounds sort of like something Sun Tzu would teach, "Win without fighting."

The book is easy to read and has the illustrations that Aslett's books are know for. I personally really like the illustrations in his books and feel they add to his message. They make the books more fun to read. This book has a brief introduction and six main chapters.

Chapter One: Pet Cleaning 101. This chapter covers important tools and cleaning techniques for all kinds of pet cleanup chores. I like that he lists different tools and what they are for, as well what deodorizers do, and some other little tips for various situations.

Chapter Two: Good Clean Living - With Pets. A chapter on preventative measures to avoid germs and keep your home mess-free. Aslett discusses ways to control pet diseases, disinfectants, and how to organize a pet control center, as well as other important tips.

Chapter Three: Housebreaking. A chapter on eliminating cleanup problems trough training dogs and cats. Cages, crates, and litter boxes are a few of the topics covered here.

Chapter Four: In Case of Accident. This chapter contains pointers for cleaning up pet messes. Not the most pleasant of topics, but important if you are a pet owner. Asless deals with cleaning up urine and cleaning up feces. Also included is cleaning up vomit. Again, not pleasant, but important when you need it.

Chapter Five: Hairy Animal Tales. With most pets come hair, so this chapter deals with shedding, bathing, and flea control. There are tips on grooming, hair pickup tools, and giving your pet a bath. There is also some very good information about fleas and how to prevent them, or how to get rid of them, depending on what you need.

Chapter Six: Pets Do the Darndest Things. The final chapter of the book focuses on pet problems and occasional misbehavior. Pets jumping on things or people, tracking in dirt or mud, scratching, and chewing on things are some of the problems dealt with in this chapter.

If you own a pet, this is a great book to assist you with keeping your home clean. It also contains some very practical advice to raising pets that will make the experience more rewarding for you and your animals. I highly recommend Aslett's books as enjoyable, practical, and spot-on (Or should I say spot-off) with his advice and strategies.

Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer-A Review

Most dog owners acknowledge the importance of training their pets. However, many of them often make mistakes in conducting training. What's worse is that they don't even know they are committing these mistakes. This is the reason why professional trainer Adam Katz came up with the book "Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer."

Katz wanted to help owners save money, time, and frustration over training failures through his book. The information and instructions contained in Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer are supposed to help you avoid common training mistakes and their disastrous consequences. The question is, "Does the book really contain the kind of useful information that it promises to give?" This brief review aims to help you decide whether Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer is the right training guide for you.

First, let's look at what you will get when you purchase Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer. The book itself has 151 pages full of information on ownership and training. There aren't so many pictures in the book, which means that there is indeed a great deal of information. In fact, you may have to read through it two to three times in order to have a complete grasp of the information provided.

One of the most important things you learn upon reading Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer is that the problems owners face are universal and so are the solutions to these problems. Here are some of the general principles that you need to apply when trying to solve dog problems:

-Training must work towards building the dog-owner relationship that is based on mutual trust and respect.

-Positive reinforcement and calm behaviour correction always works better than punishment.

-Use your dog's natural instincts to your advantage during training.

-Dogs don't speak English, so you need to learn to communicate with your pet such that he understands exactly what you expect him to do; it may be best to mimic the way dogs communicate among themselves (through body language).

Basically, as long as you apply these principles in training then you're most likely to succeed. Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer contains tips and advice not only on current dog training, but also on choosing the right dog, on the dog's growing-up needs, and choosing the right collar, among other things. It also contains a portion where you are told how professional trainers like the author himself raise their own dogs.

Aside from the main Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer book, you also get several bonuses when you make the purchase. These bonuses include three other books that specifically tackle the subjects of establishing yourself as the Alpha Dog, fixing dog aggression training your dog to walk with a collar and leash, and choosing a veterinarian. You also get lists of where to buy wholesale dog products and websites on dog training. Finally, you get $ 25 worth of free Email consultation with the author himself.

All in all, Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer is probably the most complete and comprehensive dog training guide on the market today. And while it can benefit all dog owners, it can be especially useful to first time owners who want to train their dogs in the comfort of their own homes.

The first option is to either attend a puppy training class or engage in the service of a professional dog trainer which can cost quite a bit.

Praise For Allie Larkin's First Novel, "Stay"

Allie Larkin's novel, "Stay," is romantic fiction at its best. Larkin gives us a smart, funny, and vulnerable heroine hopelessly in love with an exasperating guy. She mixes this formula up with an endearing cast of supporting characters and her piece de resistance is a once-in-your-life-steal-your-heart dog. If you like contemporary love stories and dogs, you will love this book.

That time-tested formula of girl-meets-boy is already at work in the Prologue. "Six years ago, Peter and I were having one of our weekly dinners at this little Italian restaurant just off campus. The food wasn't good and the service was awful, but they served us without asking for ID if we ordered by the bottle instead of the glass. " (page 1)

Peter sits across from Savannah (known as Van to family and friends) telling her that he's pretty sure he passed all of his freshman exams. Van is "... too busy studying the angle of his perfect square jaw and thinking what it would feel like to press (her) lips against his slightly stubby chin and work her way down his neck." (pages 1-2)

The Van imagines the next step in her "pornographic daydream," Peter interrupts her train of thought by asking how she thinks she did on her Rhetoric. Van's non-committal response of "It wasn't too--it was fine." as she fails to meet Peter's eye, juxtaposes the depth of her feelings for this boy onto her lack of self-confidence. (page 2)

They trade one liners:

"I always have such a great time with you, Peter said, splitting the rest of the wine between our glasses.
"I am a hell of a lot of fun," I deadpanned, finally getting the courage to look him in the eye again. (page 2)

He is: oblivious to how she feels. She is: not going to tell him how she feels. They are: drunk. Her heart thumped in a drunken beat "and her hand" wobbled "as she raises her wine glass. "His bottom lip was stained purple from the wine, but his teeth were as perfect as Chiclets." (page 2) Peter's next comment is unexpected and climatic, deliberately so as Larkin writes it: "Will you marry me," he asked, clinking his glass against mine, "if we're not married by the time we're thirty?" (page 2)

This is skillful writing. By the time we get to Peter's marriage proposal, we want it to be an out pouring of his love for her because Van so desperately wants this. Larkin brings us to that emotional high with Van and then, immediately after Peter finishes his statement, Larkin smacks us down along with Van into Peter's obliviousness is Van's feelings.

Van herself aptly describes the roller coaster of emotions she's now riding in the next two sentences:

"My pulse spiked the elation crashed into the result of being his back up plan. From fiancee to consolation prize in a matter of seconds. " (page 2)

She may be drunk in this first scene, but Larkin leaves no doubt that Van is also resolute and determined, giving Van the last word: "Make it thirty-two, I said, clenching my teeth into a smile."At least give me a fighting chance, "(page 2)

Wasting no time, Chapter one takes us right back to the top of that emotional roller coaster the Van tells us that "The wedding was more than I ever could have wished for." Just when we think that Van has gotten her heart's desire, we find out that she's not the bride, she's the bridesmaid, and the story is off and running. (page 3)

We are quickly introduced to Van's best friend Jane (the bride) and Jane's parents, Peter's family, and we begin to find out about Van's past: where she grew up, what her mom was like, and, that six years after that dinner with Peter, Van is still hopelessly in love with him

The Peter and Jane promise to love, honor and obey, Van is left to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart and get on with her life. She already has a job-one that lets her work from home and provides her a comfortable income so that she supports herself. She's smart enough to realize that it's more than time to get over her first love, but between that knowledge and the moving on part is an enormous learning curve. One that she's not sure she can make by herself.

She's dealt with a lot in her twenty-three years as Larkin deftly reveals in the next series of chapters, moving easily from past to present the the wedding scene unfolds. By the time the wedding is over, most of the secondary characters have been introduced.

As the story continued, I found myself engaged in heated arguments with almost all of them, especially with Diane, occasionally with Jane, most often with Van. I suspect the appeal was that at various points in my life, I've been like Jane and like Van. If you've ever been so me-focused that you selfishly hurt your best friend, then you've been Jane too. For everyone who's had their heart broken for the very first time and had to move on, you've been Van.

How does Diane fit into this three-some? She's the woman left behind. The woman whose best friend dies leaving a daughter that is best friends with her daughter. And, oh, by the way, her daughter and her friend's daughter are in love with the same guy.

The catalyst for change in this story is Van's spur-of-the-moment decision to get a dog. She makes this choice in a drunken stupor after the wedding is over and she's back home scrolling the internet. As she slurps Kool-Aid mixed with vodka, her thoughts twirl faster and faster, around and around like a never-ending carousel.

She sits watching television before going online. Ironically, the show she stumbles upon is the wedding on Lifetime, so most likely, the bride was going to find out that her husband was really married to women all over the country, or that her maid of honor was trying to kill her. .. at that moment in the movie, everyone was all scuba sea snorkel and delighted with themselves, and it made me sick. " (page 54)

Watching this TV couple, Van finally realizes that Peter doesn't love her, giving these words the double-edged poignancy. Quickly switching channels, she finds herself watching a movie about Rin Tin Tin. "... the dog was incredible ...He was always there when needed. He never let anyone down. " (page 54)

And that becomes what Van wants-to not be let down. She wants a friend. Once she goes online to search for her dog, her life will never be the same again.

Getting a dog doesn't magically take care of what's wrong in Van's life, but it does help her begin to take those first tentative steps towards getting what she does want. As she falls head-over-heels in love with a five month old purebred German Shepherd, she slowly falls in love with who she is and what she has to offer in a relationship.

Larkin never lets us down. She refuses to write a "cookie-cutter" cutesy, love story. And, she doesn't stop writing until Van has come to terms with everyone in her life and found her true love.

This is a book that will stay with you long after you've finished reading it.
