Ratings and reviews

Loved this book! The author did a GREAT job breaking down the way a dog thinks and acts and the reasoning behind their behavior and how to cope with certain situations. I have a Pitbill lab mix rescue and I have a great relationship due to this book. It was easy to pass along information to my boyfriend who has never had a dog before and he does great with him now. Suggest this book to any dog owner!

I can not wait to buy thoa book. Understanding my new puppy is whats most important. Making sure that he os raised with love and not fear is the key.

It teaches me to not force my dog (which BTW I already know,) but it still teaches me HOW THE HECK DO I TEACH MY DOG WITHOUT FORCING HIM.
