Product Description
Move over Dr. Phil! In her remarkably funny new book, Relationship Strategist, Georgia Sullivan, guides women through a step-by-step plan to improve their relationships by comparing men to breeds of dogs. In the process, she helps men by giving them a way to defend themselves from the women in their lives who are trying so hard to change them. To find out whether he s a Lab or a Lapdog, and whether she d be better off with a Boxer or a Beagle, readers first take the PORCH DOGS Quiz, a personality test available in the book. According to their quiz results, Georgia Sullivan offers sage relationship advice to guide both men and women toward happiness and contentment. Written with tongue-in-cheek candor, Sullivan deftly lays out the traits for each man/dog type and follows up with sections dedicated to the head, heart, family and work qualities for each.

What a great book! After taking the quiz I was relieved to find out that I had indeed picked the right "breed" this time around ;-) A recommended read for anyone already in a relationship... or even those simply out there looking for pick of the litter :-)

I recommend buying this book for you and your friends, so that you may be more successful in finding the perfect partner or better at determining which groups(Herding, Sporting, Hound, ect.)of guys you may be more compatible with. Guys can also enjoy this book and find out the RUFF truth about what breed they fit into. There is also an awesome quiz to find out what type of pooch you may be, man or woman.

Porch Dogs is a great read, a very unusual and fun reference book and a DIY guide for assuming some control over a search for a satisfying relationship. Though the book may have been written with women in mind as a primary audience, don't discount the value to all readers regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. The underlying concept in the book, comparing men to dog breed characteristics, is designed to help the reader define and categorize some common male attributes. With the resulting improvement in understanding men, it is hoped that the reader will be able to better manage their relationship(s).
For the guys, the book can be very revealing, much like looking into a mirror. What I saw was right on the mark and funny as hell! Now I don't feel so bad about some of those allegedly annoying habits I've been told I have.
The Porch Dogs Quiz is very interesting and has sections for men and women. The resulting personality characterization is matched to one or more dog breeds.
Quite insightful and useful, the book is a terrific value and copies make excellent and unusual gifts for your friends and family members that need a little encouragement or guidance in their love lives.
Check it out!
