I can't praise this book highly enough. For anyone interested in the way dogs think and how they relate to humans this is a fascinating read. The style of writing is very easy but never condescending; liberally peppered with the authors own experiences the reader becomes completely involved in undertanding dogs. The author does not anthropamorphasize - dogs are not little people in fur jackets. They are treated as a sentient species capable of comunicating their needs if only we learn how to recognise their language.
It is a gentle, thoughtful book that has sad moments but also beautiful ones as well. I guarantee you will never look at your dog in the same way again, and reading this book could well improve your relationship with him or her. Enjoy!

I haven't yet finished reading this book,but can honestly say that it is changing my life.It's very hard to put into words the profound effect it is having upon me.The love,truth and compassion that suzanne has for dogs and the way she gently guides the reader towards a space in which it is possible to understand not only the way dogs communicate with us,but also how we can build a deep and meaningful relationship with them and also with ourselves,has the effect of moving me to tears each time I read her book.I recommend this to anyone who dares to drop their ego and attitude of ''I know best'' and who wants to explore and find a softer more real,loving,holistic,truthful approach to being with their dog. Thankyou suzanne for writing this book and helping me to open my heart.

I loved this book, as never having had a dog before, it really helped me to understand what having a dog meant. After attending a training class where bullying and shaking dogs by the collar was used to gain respect from dogs, I felt very sad for the dogs and owners. I knew it was wrong and wanted support for a different way. Suzanne Clothier has written her book from a deep and long understanding of dogs, and it is written from the heart with confidence. It also provides a very strong message for our human relationships. I wish I had known about this book when I first got my puppy.

I'm obviously missing the point
I have a very independent older rescue dog, and am finding it difficult to train him. After the rave reviews I was very much looking forward to reading this book, and hoping to... Read more

Changed my whole perception of the human/dog relationship
I totally disagree with the last 2 reviews. This book never professes to be a training manual. It is much more than that. Read more
