Certainly this a book that, were more dog owners to read it, would help the owners communicate better with their dogs. (See the review by vickiz, below.) My complaint is that the book is TOO SLOW and there is TOO MUCH IRRELEVANT INFO, mostly the author talking about herself. In the parts where she writes about how dogs interpret our movements so very differently from how we mean them, she is spot on. Even non dog-owners can benefit since most of us encounter other people's dogs every day. But she is exasperating in how much stuff she includes, and how she repeats it all at least twice. Finally, I have to say I don't appreciate how she frequently writes about how hard it is for professional dog trainers to deal with the dog owners, how impatient she and apparently every other dog trainer get with the rest of us. Fairly condescending, that. I'm not even half-way through, and this last point may be what keeps me from finishing the book. Too bad, for she certainly has a lot to share that is useful.
