 A "Bible" for anyone wanting to know how dogs think March 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Coren is a master of communication. His fluid style with easy to understand 'technical' terms, interspersed with some light hearted explanations and asides makes this book one of the very best for anyone with even a passing interest in dogs, how they think and how they interact.
Coren is undoubtedly one of the great Masters when it comes to the canine world and this, one of his many books ranks as one of his best.
The subjects covered here leave the reader with an incredibly clear insight into what every dog owner needs to and should know.
This is one of those books that should be on the shelf of every school library as the importance of understanding dogs in our society is so very much underestimated.
"How Dogs Think: What the World Looks Like to Them and Why They Act the Way They Do" offers one of those rare insights into "Man's best friend", that is a joy to have.
Read it and understand what goes on in "Fido's" mind and you will share a far better bond with your dog than you can imagine.

Single Best Dog Book I've Ever Read January 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As the owner of an established pet care business, and the parent of a rescue dog with severe aggression issues, I've read just about every book on dogs you can imagine. How To Speak Dog is without a doubt the single most informative and interesting book relating to dogs that I've ever read. Coren's detailed and precise explanation of canine body language has helped me aniticipate and prevent acts of aggression by my troubled dog a countless number of times; the book has opened my eyes to all the communicating our client's dogs have been doing with us and each other, and we've been able to resolve a number of behavioral issues with our clients simply because we are able to understand what the dog is telling us about why it does what it does. The book is also an enjoyable read; remarkably, Coren manages to make reading ultra detailed scientific information pleasant, not tedious. Every dog owner should have this book on their coffee table, and every dog professional should have it in a holster at their hip.
Want To Understand Your Dog? November 1, 2007

This book makes so much sense. The author writes in language clearly understandable to laypersons, with lots of examples and cited studies. This book has answered a lot of the questions I have about what my dog is doing; what she senses; and what she might be thinking. The author shows how genetics and instinct translate from wolves and wild dogs all the way down to the cute little furballs we keep around our houses.
 Not at all what I expected! March 31, 2007

The book was not at all a fun read! Almost every chapter was boring and non informative. The book goes on and on and yet you still feel you have not read anything of intrest.

Fantastic Book! If you're a dog owner, dog lover or BOTH then this is the book for you. If you want to understand your dog like never before then do yourself a favour and purchase this book. It gives a wonderful incite through the dogs eyes how they see us and why they do certain things. This book certainly goes hand in hand with How to Speak Dog. A must read.
