most comprehensive book on dog training in print August 7, 2005 21 out of 21 found this review helpful
While the price and size of this book will deter many readers, for anyone who really wants to learn about dog behavior in general and how to influence it effectively, this book is a must read. While this volume can be read without having read the other earlier volumes, I also recommend them in your reference library. Steve Lindsay has put together a comprehensive study of the physiology of dog behavior, how environment, diet, genetics, hormones and more affect behavior and how dogs learn and why they behave as they do, both what we want them to learn to do and wish they would never do. He has information to help prevent problems, enhance dog owner relationships, troubleshoot problems and how to solve them. If you could only read one book on dog training, make it this one, far surpasses the rest. We've trained and bred Dobermans for 21 years and wish we'd had this one to start with.
