McDuff, the dog, gets to have new neighbors. The new neighbors have a dog as well and her name is Marie. The owners then decided that the two dogs needed to go to school because they didn't listen too well. McDuff didn't have the practice everyday like Marie did because Frank and Lucy were always too busy or too tired. However, Marie was able to get practice everyday so McDuff joined her. The only problem was that Marie was taught in French and so McDuff adapted to the new language. Therefore, Lucy and Fred thought that McDuff wasn't doing so well but they soon found out that McDuff had picked up the French language instead and would only reply to that.
McDuff and his new neighbor are enrolled in obedience school to learn new lessons. Mcduff's family doesn't work with him on his new tricks so he struggles. This is a great story about how to follow rules and be obedient.
This book has cute pictures the story I liked the story, too.
