Anyone who has a dog, should have this book. Anyone who works with dogs should beg, steal or borrow a copy (or else be forced at gunpoint to read it!!).
This is the book dogs have been waiting for... a book that gives owners an empathy for their dogs, an ability to see below the surface, and an understanding that goes far beyond the labels that many current trendy dog trainers seem to want to put on dogs... "Oh, she's dominant", "he's an alpha male" or "she's aggressive" or any one of a whole list of labels that don't help dogs and their relationship with their people in the slightest.
This is a book that encourages people to look at their dogs in a whole new light (really look at them) - and more to the point to look at behaviour and training problems in a whole new light - one that benefits their dogs and also themselves. This book gives people the skill to see what their dog is telling them every minute of the day by the way he walks, holds himself, how his coat grows, how he stands, how he sits and much more. It also very simply explains how people can change behaviour by working with their dog on these physical issues.
This is a book that will inspire owners and trainers to study dogs far closer than ever before - and actually see them for what they are. It will improve the relationship people have with their dogs and inspire a real trust and communication between the species. If you want to have a true partnership with your dog, this is the book for you.
It is a ground-breaking book, and one that is destined to improve the lives of countless dogs. It takes our relationships with our dogs onto a new and higher level. No one can read this book and look at dogs the same way ever again.
Buy this book and give your dog a treat..., 24 Oct 2007
