DOWN, BOY! is a comprehensive manual that covers the finer points of finding a boyfriend (for example, the "rescue" from an entirely inappropriate woman); the major boyfriend groups and breeds (sporting, hound, working, terrier, toy); how to identify them and choose the one that best fits your needs and lifestyle; and guidelines for first dates and bonding with a new boyfriend. Also explored in depth are the types of training at a woman's disposal: behavior (Pavlovian and Skinnerian), obedience, and activity; rewards and punishments; establishing communication, including basic commands as well as nonverbal cues; exercise, feeding, and grooming of the boyfriend; and determining when he's ready to go "off-leash," with tips for taking him out. DOWN, BOY! is enhanced with quizzes, charts, FAQs, and (fictitious) advice from Elizabeth Taylor, the only woman known to have married a man from each breed. Humor aside, DOWN, BOY! includes solid, practical advice for starting and maintaining a romantic relationship.
