Completely agrees with my philosophy of working with dogs!!!

This book represents everything I truly believe one should and should not do regarding dog training/communication. I haven't found a book like it in all of the research and reading I've done on the topic. Also of great benefit is the fact that they don't heavily recommend feeding kibble (this is just briefly mentioned in the book), which I advocate strongly. This clear-cut, easy format book is enjoyable and extremely educational without faddish training methods or too soft or too hard viewpoints on the treatment of dogs. I highly recommend it to everyone considering or interested in learning about how dogs think!
