Warnings about poisoned bait have been a major concern for countless dog owners for some time now. Where people once thought, "That doesn't affect me," it has become increasingly clear through poisoned bait warning apps and social media that the danger lurks even at their own doorstep. It seems to be a trend among dog haters to lay out poisoned food or food laced with razor blades—not just in big cities. This book provides worried dog owners with a well-thought-out, effective training plan to protect their dogs: transforming them from outdoor vacuum cleaners into well-behaved dogs that indicate tasty temptations instead of gobbling them up. The author also explains why some well-meaning advice doesn't work. With preventive measures, such as muzzle training and emergency signals in case something does end up in the dog's mouth, the book offers practical help to bridge the gap.
