"I LOVE Patricia McConnell. This book focuses on how human body language is interpreted by dogs. First read her "For the Love of a Dog" which was a wonderful balance to the Caesar Milan school of dog training. (Lots to learn from Caesar, but he doesn't have all the answers.) Looking forward to adding to my bag of tricks to use on Dixie!
I didn't find this one as compelling -- perhaps, not as practical -- as For the Love of a Dog. I think this book could be boiled down to several key points (and the length of a long magazine article), but Pat's stories of dogs and her owners are a job to read in and of themselves. As far as practical tips to put to use go, I've already had good success with "blocking". :)"
"So, OK, I'm spending all my time lately reading dog training books. Talk about not what I want to be doing. I have a list of 4 books a training specialist told me to read, and I'm working my way through.
This one, though, I must say, was a fun read. Patricia McConnell understands a lot about a lot of different animal behaviors, and she has a talent for getting the point across to the rest of us. She lives on a sheep farm in Wisconsin, where in addition to her dog training business, she raises sheep and trains her own dogs to herd.
The book focuses on what signals we humans send our dogs, and why. Besides holding up a mirror to some of my own behaviors, the book made me laugh and cry."
"Hands down, my favorite dog book to date! (I just adopted a dachshund six weeks ago so I'm on a bit of a dog related reading kick.) Best part is that it's not just for dog owners: it's really a series of funny and insightful on animal behavior. In some ways, the writing is very similar to Malcolm Gladwell so it'd be a great subway read. Also reminds me a lot of one of my favorite books ever, Love at Goon Park..."
"Great book for people who want to better understand dog and human behavior. Great insight into why we do the things we do around animals and how it often can cause problems. Very compassionate and well thought out."
