Fanciful and animated illustrations carry the young reader through the fitful relationship of good dog Aggie, who needs a little training, and young Ben, who is trying his best to teach his dog to obey.

When even the Dog Training School sends Aggie home, it's up to Ben to teach Aggie to "sit," "stay" and fetch a ball. Is success around the corner? An early chapter book with an action-packed narrative.
