I prefer the montage of several cover iterations you posted. That epitomizes the puppy brain in action the best to me. I actually thought that was the cover until I read the article…🫣
Absolutely LOVE the cover...the Black text/white background IMHO allows the puppy & the book title/subtitle to stand out & feed off each others identical colors! No competition from additional colors on the cover. The piece about training programs is so critical...the number of people who are trying to get their dog to obey & "just do what I say" is still overwhelming. I heard it again at a party I was at this weekend & tried my best to suggest that perhaps there might be other types of training to consider...to no avail.😥
I love the simplicity of the black-and-white cover, and your choice of the puppy versus the older dog. Nailed it! I don’t know how many times I’ve raved about it and shared it with friends and colleagues.
On another note, your comment about “examples in the animal kingdom and human world where cooperation, kindness, and compassion prove to be the winning strategy.” Is right on point in gorilla societies. Mountain gorilla males that are nice to the babies and the moms get more opportunities to have more babies with those moms. They look for dads that are kind to the little ones.
So sad that some people still want to use aversion training for dogs and puppies. That type of training has no place with an animal who is loved.
The cover you-all chose is the best!
