If you want to save your dogNovember 21, 1999 James Webster(USA) 25 out of 30 found this review helpful
The provider for a dog can be considered, in the occupation of, behavioral management. The pet is entirely reliant on the provider for its physical and psychological needs. What "Crazy Dogs & Crazy People" does describe to the reader what those needs are and what happens when there are not met. Being aggressive in our human society is rewarded. Being violent is not rewarded. But violence is taught. It has been shown that children have learned violence form watching violence against other people and animals they literally learn that life (animal or human) has little or no meaning. Crazy Dogs describes the difference between aggression and violence what happens when you use violence on a dog (physical and mental). Through case histories of humans and dogs the reader is shown how similar our social minds are alike IE We (both dog and human) need contact with human species in order to survive. The behavioral tools necessary to change your behavior and that of your dog are explained. What I have learned from this book is the human ego is the dogs worst enemy in dealing with mans best friend. That's why there are so many dogs in our shelters. My search through 50 dog training books (that did not work) has lead me the Meisterfeld philosophy of mutual respect that has worked to save my dog.
