5 out of 5 stars I recommended this book to my friends   November 12, 2006
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

Since I recommended this book to my friends, I thought I'd tell anyone who is looking it up it is well worth reading. If you are considering it, there is no reason not to get it.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book on dog behavior   May 6, 2006
 43 out of 43 found this review helpful

This book is an excellent guide to dog behavior and, although not being a training manual, it includes a lot of information on how to train your dog. Apart from discussing how dogs learn (e.g. by observation, classical conditioning, or operant conditioning), it includes a short list of "canine learning" rules and an appendix that teaches you how to teach commands, as well as how to correct behavior problems by counter-conditioning (training him to do something else instead of its undesirable behavior) and desensitization (teaching him to accept the stimuli that cause unacceptable behavior).

The first part of the book covers material on dogs anatomy and physiology, including their genetic background (that of wolves), their brain characteristics and hormonal system, their senses (that might include a sixth sense), and the basics of their communication system. The latest part is essential to understand and properly interpret your dog's gestures and the sounds he emits in different situations.

The second part, on dog psychology, is, in my opinion, the really interesting part of this book. It describes how dogs develop their "personality" traits, how the learn, and how they behave as social animals. Many aspects of dog behavior are clearly explained, from their fears and phobias (and how to treat them) to their innate habits. Breed differences are also discussed, as well as how to deal with behavior problems (e.g. aggressions or house training).

I cannot but recommend this book to anyone who lives with dogs. There are similar books with a less formal style (as Patricia McConnell's "The Other End of the Leash"), but they are not as thorough nor as informative as this book is. It should be noted that, despite its undeniable scientific rigor, "The Dog's Mind" is far from boring. It is quite easy to read and even momentarily humorous.



5 out of 5 stars Well written book, enjoyable and informative   April 12, 2006

This book helps me communicate with my dog better through understanding what my dog's thought process. It's not a training book but what you learn from it is much more valuable than other training books in a lot of ways!

I found the book interesting to a degree; however, it was not what I was looking for and therefore did not meet my needs.


5 out of 5 stars Fascinating... great for SAR trainers   February 15, 2006
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book was recently reccomended by my dog breeder and offers great insight into what makes dogs dogs. I found the information on scent research intriguing and very helpful in training dogs for Search and Rescue work. Much of the information has been published elsewhere (the book is from 1992), but has a lot of great information packed nicely together in one convenient book. I love it.
