Product Description

Product Description
"Quite simply this is an excellent book. It is well–written, with snatches of dry humour. It should be mandatory reading for anybody who keeps a dog or has intentions of so doing." —R. W. F. Poole, Daily Telegraph

How do dogs perceive the world about them? How do they see, hear, learn, relate to their owners? How large are their brains, what is their emotional makeup? Why do they suffer from stress and how can it be coped with? Over the last few years a substantial body of knowledge has been built up about the psychology of dog behavior. Combining more than twenty years of practical experience as a veterinary clinician with a personal knowledge and understanding of the latest international research, Dr. Bruce Fogle has written the most inclusive and relevant book on how the canine mind works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the greatest, 10 April 2007
By Bookworm Lady "a1za" (American in Britain) - See all my reviews
I am not as enamoured with the book as the other readers. I am studying to be a Dog Obedience Instructor, and although I did find the book to be very informative, it went into way too much detail for the average dog owner to enjoy. In the beginning, when the author is discussing the chemical workings of the dogs brain, I found it to be very dry and thought that a lot of that information was unnecessary unless you happen to be studying to become a vet. However, once you have read the first third of the book, the author starts discussing dog psychology and I found this to be very informative and I would recommend it for this reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book prevents new training mistakes and fixes old ones., 1 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Through excellent illustrations and explanations this book allows you to understand what your dog is telling you even in complex situations. It provides step by step methods for dealing with behavior that other authors wouldn't begin to try to tackle. By applying the advice and enlightment gained from this book, we immediately noticed improvement in our dog's behavior - this guy knows what he is talking about. After reading this book, you will feel like a lot of things have fallen into place, even if you have a lot of experience with dogs. This book pulls it all together.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for dog owners or anyone considering becoming one., 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I became enthralled in this book. I always considered myself an expert in the field of dogs. I have lived with dogs all my life, but not until reading this book understood them so well. I have recently ordered The Cat's Mind, also by Fogle, and can't wait to read it. The Dog's Mind truly gave me a wonderful look at my favorite companions. I recommend this book to all dog lovers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother buying this book, its not good..
I brought this book as an after thought, added to my order for a dogs health book. This was a huge disappointment. I didn't find it easy to read, far too much verbose text. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential read!
Please read this book if you would like a dog or already own one. It will take you through all the basics (and sometimes more) of how the dog's brain works. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars It keeps its promise
I agree that this is not an immediate training tool. If all you want is a `How To' book, this is too scientific and deep. Read more
