Here is what readers already have to say:
"This book is absolutely amazing, informative and invaluable for anyone who has a dog. I learned so much and took notes so that my dog and I can benefit. This book is filled with intuition, creativity and talent. I could not put down this beautiful and educational work." Diana Olson, image and etiquette specialist, Pasadena, CA
" I can't express in words how much I love this book. Romeo’s voice comes across in such a gentle manner, but with very solid advice that would be helpful to any dog owner. I would like to purchase several copies to donate to our animal shelter, as it is heartbreaking to see animals mistreated because the owners don't know how to train them and become frustrated." Annette Milionis, pet advocate, Spokane Valley, WA
"I could not put this book down and was almost late for an appointment because of it. We are dog lovers, have had them throughout our life, but do not have one at this time. That said, everyone who reads Romeo’s manners book is going to be entertained while gaining some useful dog training insights and appreciation for good etiquette. I am buying this book for several friends who will love every page, as I do. My husband is eagerly next in line to read it." J. Smelser, Valencia, CA
" Romeo is such an asset to our residents during their social hour in our memory care center. We and other centers welcome visits from well-trained dogs; they add a positive and valuable experience to our seniors’ lives and add to their happiness. Reading Romeo’s book can add insight into how dogs and their masters communicate in a productive and loving way, producing well-mannered pups. " Julie Wilson, Activities Coordinator, Traditions ( Memory Care), Oakmont of Santa Clarita
