AN IMPORTANT GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING YOUR CANINE COMPANION February 1, 1999
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I'm surprised noone has commented on this wonderful book yet! This was one of my first dog books (and believe me, I have alot) and it's still one of the best. Michael Fox gives excellent in depth information on the intellegence and abilities of canines. Nearly half the book covers ways to understand the dog's thought process & habits and how to decode the dog's language. I have found all this information to be quite accurate. In addition to these guides, Fox provides important chapters on how to correctly raise a puppy. These completely cover the socialization process and include a chapter on dogs and kids, among other things. Fox also touches on the subjects of the dog's sixth sense and animal rights. The last two chapters provide IQ and Temperment Tests you can use in choosing a new dog or evaluating your own. There is also a helpful appendix of FAQs including bad habits, neutering, and overcoming car fear. Although Fox doesn't provide extensive information on ways to train your dog, the obedience chapter is thorough (and humane) and simple to read & understand. -Great for quick reference! There is a good amount of advice included on types of training methods and theories.This is a MUST read book for any dog lover!
