Read this if you’re a dog owner or soon-to-be dog owner; I took notes on a number of informative nuggets, across a variety of topics, as I get ready for my first dog!

Nicht nur werden einzelne Aspekte angesprochen, die wichtig und relevanten Umgang mit Hunden sind, sondern wird hierbei auch auf den biologischen Ursprung von Mensch und Hund eigentlich.
Meistens wird ja nur auf das Tier und deren Verhalten eigegangen, doch auch das der Menschen spielt eine wichtige Rolle.
Zusätzlich wird neben all den Informationen und Fakten mit eigenen Erfahrungen und Beispielen, die leicht verständlich sind, die Aspekte leicht und äußerst verständlich übermittelt.
Auch für Menschen, die keinen Hund besitzen empfehlenswert, da es den allgemeinen Umgang mit Tieren vielleicht überdenken lässt oder einem aufmerksamer macht.

This book is part dog training manual, part dog psychology book, part human psychology book. I learned a LOT from Patricia McConnell. She's come highly recommended by most of the dog communities I'm in and while I've had the book for some time and started it any number of times, I didn't really get around to reading it until just after the new year. If anyone wants to delve more into why YOU act the way you do around your dogs and why your dog reacts the way it does to the often unconscious (and confused) signals you make, this is the book to read. It really got me thinking and as such, my walks with my dog are even better and she's looking to me even more than before I read it

I loved McConnell's writing with its mix of expertise and panache. She brings a sense of humor to the topic of animals and dogs that is seriously lacking in most forums on dog ownership.
