 A fun book to read November 18, 2008
Mr. R. D. lee (Windsor, co United States)
Enjoyed reading this book. It has a lot of clear, insightful explanations about about why these critters do what they do. I also learned some new ways to modify my dogs behavior.
 A Dog Lover's Book October 28, 2008
S. A. Forbes (Frankfort, KY USA)
Interesting and insightful, The Secret Lives of Dogs, is a fun reference for many of the peculiarities that make us love dogs, as well as make us scratch our heads about their behavior. The book is full of good tips by authorities and interesting photographs of canines at their best and worst. It is enjoyable to read about these 52 dog mysteries or to just flip through the many pages of pictures. I would recommend this book to anyone who is curious about some of the seemingly strange behaviors of our canine friends and to anyone who just likes dogs.
Few Books May 29, 2008
Tom... (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
"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

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
Penny Meyer (Buellton, CA United States)

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!
