<li>An exercise program for the canine athlete (and they're all athletes!) </li>
<li>Training tips for obedience, showing, and search-and-rescue </li>
<li>Preventive medicine, common illnesses from nose to tail, and age-related concerns </li>
<li>Advice on breeding, whelping, adopting your second (third, fourth...) dog, and more! </li>
