As a previous Veterinary Technician, I was very excited to read this book.  I love to provide owners resources that can help them with their beloved fur-friends.  As someone who seems to attract the neighborhood dogs when they get loose from their fenced yards, I think I will have to write down the title of this book and carry it with me, so I can pass it along.I liked that the author first explains what may be compelling your dog to dig, and why some breeds do it more often then others.  For example, two of the dogs that love to 'escape' to my house are terriers.  =)  But, because all dogs are not the same, the author provides a variety of solutions based on your dogs skill of digging and escaping.I found out some tips that I did not know, such as pebbles to discourage digging.  I also liked the fact that the author didn't stop at digging, but also covered the concerns of climbing/jumping fences or bolting out of the house.I think this is a very helpful book and highly recommend it to dog owners who have dogs that dig, escape, jump or bolt.  And, new dog owners, whether a puppy or an older adoption, should take time to read this book as well.  You never know what you are in for later on.  =)  HIGHLY recommended!
