When reading this book you could be reading about your own dog, your friend's dog, your parent's old dog, or that dog up the road that really barks when you walk by. Fisher has caught them all to a tee. My only criticism was that it was maybe not practical enough, but it was certainly enlightening and educational. Both my colleague & I said after reading it, we now know why we have being doing it all wrong for all these years!

Read this book and you will understand and love your dog even more. I have bought so many copies and loaned them to other doggie people never to see the book again, so be warned, if you buy it, DON'T lend it, just recommend it!

This book was recommended to me by a freind, and once I had brought it, I couldn't put it down. It was amazing how useful the facts and techniques are. A lot of my freinds who have dogs have silly little problems with the dogs behaviour that are covered in this book. The only problem that I had was I wanted to tackle ALL my dogs problems at once... but the book does recomend only 1 or 2 problems at a time. I don't know what I would have done without this books help & encouraging tips. If you have a troublesome pooch - this book is definatly for you.

Good in 1991
This really is not a training book or an insight on how to change your dogs behaviour. It does explain why rather then how so it is sometimes useful for further explanations. Read more

This is a great book, well written and easy to understand. I think it is great but my dog still refuses to believe what I tell him.
