Other End of the Leash

• My Dog Pulls. What Do I Do?
• Bones Would Rain from the Sky: Deepening Our Relationships with Dogs
• The Culture Clash
• For the Love of a Dog: Understanding Emotion in You and Your Best Friend
• Don't Shoot the Dog!: The New Art of Teaching and Training

The other recommended books were just the same old stuff, but this one is full of ideas and ways to communicate with and understand your dog. Very well written, funny, humble and full of effective techniques. I was in despair and I now feel confident that we are getting there.

easy to read and great for an introduction to dog behaviour, 2007-12-30
I love the style that this book is written in, it engages the reader easily with interesting takes on behaviour and case studies. As a newcomer to canine behaviour and psychology I found it a pleasure to read and it really helped me reiterate some of the main theories in my study. Highly recommended.

A very interesting read., 2008-08-04
I found this book to be an interesting read, showing the differences between how dogs and people communicate, and how this can lead to problems. Although it could be said there is a little too much focus on primate behaviour, it does explain why people do what they do, and how our canine companions understand our actions.
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in canine behaviour at any level.

A very good read for both professionals and owners, 2003-07-29
The Other End of the of the Leash takes an insightful look at the way humans communicate with their dogs - both in day to day life and in training. It points out miscommunication between the two species that can interfere with training and the human/dog relationship in general. It is extremely well written and easy to read (humerous in places). A very interesting and fairly light read for training professionals and a true eye-opener for many dog owners.
