Dressed to the Canines

Ruby, a 5-year-old Tibetan mastiff, poses with friend and owner Shelby Marlo, who works with some of Hollywood's top dogs. The author of Shelby Marlo's New Art of Dog Training, Marlo coaxes her wards into good behavior with a combination of positive feedback and edible treats. One of her biggest success stories is Bruno Griffith-Banderas, whose parents Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, wanted their loving Lab puppy to turn down his enthusiasm a notch (no more play-biting or knocking over the kids) and respond to the commands of family members. For Marlo, it's all in a day's work.
