Master Dog Trainer Reading Series: The Encyclopedia of Country Living

A dog is an animal. It isn't a human. It isn't a Disney cartoon character. That may seem obvious, but for those with ears to hear... time to listen.

There is a lot to be learned from those who work the land, raise livestock and grow food. There are many supplementary skills and knowledge gems that these people can teach you. Many of the "off the grid" skills can help you better raise and manage a home with a dog. A good overview book is The Encyclopedia of Country Living. Living in modern society, you miss a lot of the necessary perspectives it takes to be a very good dog owner. You won't learn this in school or by surfing social media after dinner.  

I found The Encyclopedia of Country Living to be a well-written and interesting addition to my book library. It is worth the time and investment.
