 Top Five Dog Books November 30, 2008
The Other End of the Leash: Why We Do What We Do Around Dogs
I have read a lot of dog books. This one is definitely in my top five. A must read for those of you who are serious about doing the right things for your furry friend.

Wonderful, common sense advice for those who have a dog who pulls on the leash and not just on your heart-strings.
On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming SignalsMy Dog Pulls. What Do I Do?
wonderful, enjoyable and enlightening October 25, 2008
This book was enjoyable to read, really discussed the issues of dog thinking in an balanced way and with backup bits of information (not just the this-way-is-the-truth). She brings in scientific research and discusses how it applies and how it doesn't. Her stories are touching, her passion for dogs is clear, and while I'm not sure I really get all the details and could do those moves at the right time, understanding is a great help. I highly recommend this book, although as another reviewer said, by itself it isn't going to help at all with training, nor does it go into detail on how to handle the various puppy stages or how to pick the perfect puppy for you. This book is a starting guide, before you get a dog, so you understand the why and details behind the advice in the training books and why it's important.
highly recommended September 25, 2008
Great insights into how dogs view the world and how we can best interact with them. Leads us to a greater understanding of how to develop a deep and loving relationship with our dogs based on understanding. Also leads to practical training advice. It's easier and more rewarding to train a dog that you understand. Great for pet owners and advanced trainers.
A must read for anyone who lives with dogs September 15, 2008
I am recommending this book to all my friends and family with a dog. I started using some tips right away with my 6 yr old dog and have seen immediate results---getting him to stop barking and come to me with a single word is the BEST so far! Many of the things Dr. McConnell writes of regarding a dog's view of human behavior seem like common sense, I am not sure why I didn't "get it" before. I wish I had read this book before I got a dog because it really illuminates all the behaviors I have that simply confuse, confound, and frighten my canine friends.
