Review

Alexandra Horowitz, author of "Inside of a Dog
""A lovely and clear-headed book on all things dog--emotion, mind, and breed. John Bradshaw's authority and experience are matched by the thoughtfulness and humanity of his writing. Read this before you bring a dog into your life."Stephen Zawistowski, PhD, CAAB, ASPCA Science Advisor
"Every so often we are reintroduced to an old friend, and we may see them in a new light, reinvigorating a long standing relationship. John Bradshaw reintroduces us to mankind's oldest friend, the dog. He compiles and explains new information on the origin of dogs, their relationship with ancestral wolves and why we need to base our relationship with dogs on partnership and cooperation, not outmoded theories about dominance. Dogs and dog lovers alike will benefit from Bradshaw's insight." "Publishers Weekly

John Bradshaw 18 Aug 2011
By Ron
Format:Hardcover
Excellent book. I learnt a lot about dog behaviour. John Bradshaw knows his subject extremely well. I was disappointed in that I bought the latest John Bradshaw book at the same time and they are virtually identical. I think the latest one should have been marketed as an updated reprint.

A great book 18 Sep 2011
Format:Hardcover
An excellent book and all of the copies I requested were delivered in great condition. Very happy with the efficient and fast postal service. All of the books were destined to be presents for friends with dogs, so all the above was very important.

...have to be overly-aggressive with your dog. In many ways, in the same way that we have moved on from hitting our kids to treating them with more care and respect, then there is no reason why we shouldn't 'evolve' in the same way in respect to how we interact with man's best friend! In addition to this excellent book, I would also recommend Dog Training And Behavior: Obedience Tips To Raise The Perfect Dog Or Puppy. Plus BONUS The Successful Dog Adoption Guide which is also an excellent read.

Contrary to many notions of wolf behavior, cooperation, not dominance, seems to be the essence of the wolf pack. &quote;

The new canine science reveals that dogs are both smarter and dumber than we think they are. For example, they have an almost uncanny ability to guess what humans are about to do, because of their extreme sensitivity to our body language, but they are also trapped in the moment, incapable of projecting the consequences of their actions backward or forward in time. &quote;

In essence, what I am suggesting is that this ability to socialize to humans is not, as it is usually assumed, a consequence of domestication. Instead, I conceive it as the crucial, if accidental, pre-adaptation that opened the door to domestication in the first place. &quote;
