Patricia McConnell really captivates the art form of learning the language of canines. What really intreagued me about this book is not only does it discuss the behavior of dogs, but also the behavior of us - their handlers! You learn how even the slightest movement can make all the difference in getting your dog to listen to you. This is an essential book for any dog trainers, animal behaviorists, or just dog owners/lovers!

I thought that the author provided some useful insight into relationships between dogs and owners, but felt like I was weeding through all of her personal stories in order to get to the info I wanted. I also could have done without having to read example after example of how other species behave similarly or differently from dogs and humans.

Within a few hours of finishing this book my dog started barking outside. My husband thought that perhaps the dog across the road was out again. so I looked outside at my dog and told my husband that it was the kids not the dog that were out across the street. the dog was showing the come play with me attitude not the dominance display, and I finally got the signals!
Wonderfully intutive and a good read. Full of lots of fun stories and information in an easy to read format that really helps with all dogs.

Patricia McConnell's book is packed full of information to help people understand their dog's behavior. The truly delightful and and helpful ingredient is that McConnell gives us a very good look at human behavior. McConnell is very good at showing us where we match - companionship, meeting nurturing needs, enjoyment of a foreign species, and most importantly, showing us where we don't match - heeling, resource guarding, comprehending verbal instructions.
I use the information in Patricia McConnell's book in the dog training classes that I teach to help my clients understand the world through a dog's eyes. Dogs are delightful in many ways, but they are not interested in viewing the world from a human perspective. Once my clients are able to understand why dogs do the things they do, training can really progress.
Patricia McConnell's book does a great job of telling personal and professional dog stories as well as providing valuable information. Her love for her own small pack of dogs as well as the dogs she meets in her practice shines through.
I love this book. I have given it to many of my teen volunteers and have recommended it to my entire dog training club. It's a definite five stars.

This dog-book is entertaining, endearing and helpful to every pet owner. I've read many dog-books and some are very dull. But this book keeps you amused while equipping you with modern dog training techniques and helps you understand dog-nature as well as human-nature. also, there are wonderful narrative stories - one of which made me teary-eyed.
