Customer Review: one of the best books out there on dogs
I read about every book I could get my hands on when I got my first dog a year and a half ago and this and Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson and Before & After You Get Your Puppy by Ian Dunbar where the best of all of them. I now give these three books to anyone I know who's thinking about getting a dog or just got one. I highly recommend them.
Customer Review: Don't Shoot The Dog
Every pet owner should read this book. Also any parents that have a child with autism.It teaches and explains how our pets view our actions and how they react to us. You can't believe the things you may be unaware you are teaching your pet. Some may be causing poor behavior. This book completely explains the correct way to train and get good behavior from your pet. It also explains how to eliminate bad behavior. I own a parrot and have put into practice many of the suggestions mentioned in the book. The suggestions WORK! I bought both the book and the audio CD because you need to read or listen to the author several times to fully grasp her work. So having both has been useful.The book goes into great detail so be prepared to concentrate, learn and open your mind to concepts that are scientifically based. No unsupported claims made in this book! GET THIS BOOK!
