As a trainer, I work with many fearful and reactive dogs. I found the Fear chapter in For the Love of a Dog very useful for helping my clients to understand WHY their dogs behave the way they do. The explanations of how dogs experience fear were excellent.
I think the whole book is terrific for a readers with an intense interest in dog behavior.
great information May 27, 2008
I was impressed with the information included in this book. Patricia McConnell knows how to tell a story and has a wealth of information to share. Since reading this book, I have purchased several other books by her, all very good.

This book not only helped me to understand, relate, and communicate with my dogs, but myself as well.
Buy this book if you want to become closer to your furbaby. I've read many books on animal behavior and communication and this one is at the top.
Spend a few bucks on this book. You won't be disappointed.

The book arrived quickly as always from Amazon.com The author is someone I've followed for years, she explains things so fully and lovingly, I had so many "ahaa" moments while reading it. Her love of her dogs is palpable and yet she loves them precisely because they are dogs and not furry humans. It is so wonderful to know there are people in this world who feel like I do about my dogs, they are my family, my children and I can never stop being amazed at how they view the world and how they share their lives so willingly with us. I love watching them play, investigate and run with such unbridled joy, they open up doors to my heart and she sees these things too and writes it so well. Many good pointers on training and modification too.
