 A must read for all dog owners! May 25, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I loved this book! Patricia McConnell has written an easy to understand and entertaining book for dog lovers and those who seek to gain a better understanding of their canine companions. Although I am not an evolutionist and disagree with Patricia on the origin of life and dogs, the rest of the information is sound and she presents it in a most entertaining way. It should be required reading for all dog owners.
 Good book a lot to read. May 12, 2007

I have enjoyed but this is not one of those dog books you can pick up and find a quick fix to a problem. With in the text their is good information, but it is set up like a novel and not a resource. If you want a book to pick up to solve a problem this is not the book. To read an interesting book on dogs and get some good information.
A key reference about positive dog training May 1, 2007

This book is a key reference about positive dog training written from the perspective of both scientist and practioner. I think it is a model for all trainers and dog training facilities (dog clubs, canine schools, etc.). The author's website is also helpful http://www.dogsbestfriendtraining.com
Very helpful book April 18, 2007

I've read this book twice -- each time after adopting a terrier from the local animal shelter. I can't recommend it too highly in understanding why we primates have such a hard time in understanding our canine companions. It's an invaluable training tool.
Easy read, solid foundation for canine behavior April 9, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I had read quite a few books on dog behavior before this one and still found this book informative and a fast, easy read. What I loved about the book most, is what it did for my fiance. As someone who grew up with cats, he was hesitant to adopt dogs and wasn't a natural "dog person." I had been trying to help him see some of the basic characteristics to help him understand our dogs better and the book did it for me! He now is the happy father to three rescues and we are one big happy family with better communication skills thanks to books like this one.
