 Now I understand why... September 24, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
ESSENTIAL reading for the intellectually curious about your dog's behavior. I could hardly put it down. Kept saying... "Oh! THAT'S why he's doing that!" and "THAT'S what I should be doing when...". Excellent background and context to your dog's behavior and understanding of his/her world. I have lots of dog and dog training books. This rates in the top 3. And I actually gave a copy to my dog's trainer as a gift. This is not a 'how-to' manual for training, so it should not be your first or only training book. But for those wanting a deeper understanding of the why's and what's of those things you read in the training books or hear in class, this book is recommended without reservation.

Good dog behaviour explanations. This book feels more like a textbook than other dog books.
A nice surprise May 13, 2007

To be honest, this book wasn't what I was expecting. I'm not quite sure what I thought it would be, but I knew it wasn't this! However, what a nice surprise! I love this book. After the first few pages, and realising it wasn't what I was expecting I was engrossed. I read this book over a weekend and just couldn't put it down. It was so full of incidentals that I found fascinating.I then let a number of friends borrow it. From an Obedience instructor to a seasoned breeder/exhibitor, all found snippets of interesting info. It's not a hard read, although it does go into the workings of the dogs brain, but there are interesting facts sprinkled all through it. Everyone who owns a dog would learn something from this book.
Great Book.. must read May 7, 2007

I love this book. A great read for someone who is interested in learning more about dogs and the reason they are the way they are. I love the way the book is written, it is based on medical science but then has a phychological twist on every subject.
 Poor excuse for a 'scientific' read April 7, 2007

I was disappointed by this book after expecting a scientifically informative read. You have to sift through simplified and generic biology to learn anything about dogs in particular, and there are errors strewn throughout (such as the outdated idea that dogs see in black and white). If you're interested in actual research on dog behavior, skip this one and go straight to the literature.
