Publisher's Summary

This book tells the story of two lives and how they randomly, magically intersected. It’s the chronicle of the Wylie One of Highbridge and her human, Dale, and their escapades and antics. But this book is more than that! It’s also a remarkable training book for you and your pup—everything from your first night home with your new puppy to socialization, housetraining, puppy biting, leash manners, and much more. It’s all covered right here. 

From big city corporate to the north woods countryside, follow Dale’s path from hurt to healing and finding a lost connection with dogs as one dog in particular changes the course of her life forever. Finding herself newly married and living in a new country in unfamiliar surroundings, loneliness swiftly crept its way into her life, overshadowing everything and bringing up long-buried memories of a brutal past. This book weaves grief and growth together along with detailed advice on all things puppy. Every tale Dale tells about herself and her dog Wylie is followed by detailed guidance and instruction on how to handle those particular dog and puppy issues. 

Don’t miss this one! You will laugh. You will cry. You will learn.

More than just a dog training book!

Dale writes with an approachable authenticity which draws the reader in. She is relatable as a human and highly knowledgeable as a professional. I love the way the book is structured! Her personal story continues through each chapter for those who enjoy that personal approach and connection. For those who just want to get down to nitty gritty, you can skip the story and easily find answers to some of the most frequently asked dog questions. Bravo Dale! A wonderful piece of writing you’ve created. Such an awesome addition to my dog book shelf!
