 Excellent tool September 30, 2007

This is one of the best tools I've found for helping me understand the world my dog lives in. As a sidebar - there is a series of photos including both humans and canines, showing expressions and pointing out what they mean. Having looked through it thoroughly, I was in hysterics after logging in to a blog and seeing a group of "happy party photos" - once I'd looked at her photos, the *real* message of the party shots was unavoidable, from the smile that said "take one more photo and I'll drown you in the gazpacho" to the frozen, fear-filled shy person, barring her teeth in one of the most uncomfortable smiles I've ever seen. So this is not only good for understanding your dog - but also for paying attention to the real messages on the people faces around you!
Terrific book - even if you don't have a dog! September 29, 2007

This is a great book! I first purchased it as an audiobook, then purchased the hardcover. Now, I am listening to the audiobook for the second time, and am amazed all over again. If you are interested in the way your brain works, the way dogs learn, the way animals in general learn, this book is fascinating. It is not a how-to book, so you won't be able to train your dog after reading this book. But it will help you understand your dog (and yourself!)
 Very analytical September 27, 2007

I was expecting this audio to be something like a cross between dog psychology and "Marley and Me." It was exclusively the psychology of dog behavior, and is not easy listening.

This book gave me a very clear, interesting glimpse into the mind of dogs and enabled me to interpret their body language.
So THATs how her brain works September 23, 2007

This is a wonderful book providing clear and comprehensible insight into similarities and differences between the way a dog brain and a human brain work. While reading it, I kept thinking "that makes sense...OK...now I get it." I am incorporating newly acquired ideas into my relationship with my dog and we are both better for it.
