 This book is a Masterpiece July 24, 2008
This book is one of my all time favorites. One of my wife's friends gave it to her, and I read decided to read it, because I like the title.
I'm glad it did. This has turned out to be one of my all time favorite books.
This isn't a dog training book. It is much more than that. There are several key sections that echo in my brain, whenever I am out on the training field working with my dog, or watching others interact with their dogs, or just quietly observing my dogs going about their day.
If you love dogs, this book is a must read.
Inter-connectedness of all living creatures June 23, 2008
I read the very low star reviews.
Then I read the 5 star reviews.
It seems to me that the 1 star people, sadly, just don't get it.
The book's about LIVING.
Your Dog Wants You to Buy This Book April 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
In my opinion, no one should ever even think about owning a dog before owning this book. For me, the main thrust was this: when trying to get our dogs to behave in certain ways, we keep expecting them to think like we do, when in fact, the key to success is learning how to think like they do. It's the difference between creating harmonious relationships with them or frustrating ones. This book will get you into your dog's head.
 A Good Book on Positive Dog Training February 2, 2008
This is one of the first books on dog training I read, and it got me started looking into dog training techniques. Based on the chapter "Things Timmy Never Did to Lassie", I checked out some of Hearne and Koehler's books and decided they are not for me.
My dogs have responded well to the positive training methods she recommends.
Wow! A book that will open eyes! January 13, 2008
Suzanne Clothier has written a book that will have one thinking about their relationship with dogs past and present. Her gentle approach to dog training is to be admired and learned from. The personal stories she tells throughout the book wil have you either in tears or laughter. A must read for all dog lovers and any one trying to train a more difficult dog. Suzanne Clothier is the true Dog Whisperer.
