Treat Your Partner Like a Dog

The dog-training metaphor is genuinely clever and the two-plus decades of clinical experience behind it give the advice more grounding than the playful premise suggests. But the self-publishing context, minimal critical record, and potential for the metaphor to feel gimmicky in practice all hold it back from a stronger recommendation. Worth a look if the hook clicks for you, but don't make it your primary relationship resource.
