 Few Books May 29, 2008
"Must read" is an overused term, but in this case, if you own a dog, or know someone that's having trouble with a dog, this book is eye opening. It explores the history and evolution of the species, scientific reasons for them being our friends, and why they do the wonderful, dumb, crazy, and infuriating things they do. Really, if you take care of a dog, you owe it to yourself and the animal to read this book.
 A cute book for new dog owners January 30, 2006
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
Since I have been a dog owner for over 15 years and since I am an avid reader regarding the behavior of dogs I found this book to be cute but simplistic. The pages are glossy and full of darling pictures to accompany each section. The writing seems to be directed at someone quite a bit younger than I. This actually feels more like a fancy dog magazine BUT if you are new to the subject you will find some inspiration inside and will learn useful information about dog behavior. This would be an excellent book to share with children as a learning aid for their new pet.
Sometimes The Dog Doesn't Even Know Why! October 7, 2000

This book is so fun! I totally enjoyed reading about the antics of our funny little buddies and some reasoning for their entertaining and sometimes enraging behaviors. Great ideas for positive ways to deal with behaviors that need to be changed and thought provoking ideas about behaviors we may consider okay but just wonder why in the world they do that. This is a very humanistic, uplifting, and optimistic author. I just can't tell you how very much I enjoyed it. My angel even took a sneek peek at what I was reading, and gave both paws up for this one! You'll love it!

I have read many books on dogs, but this book really explains some of the mysteries of their behavior with suggestions for how to improve each situation. I highly recommend it and I am buying copies for all my friends that need help with their little troublemakers.
