I admit it, I'm an addict when it comes to books on dog behavior. And I have to say that Patricia McConnell is one of the best authors out there -- she is funny and easy to understand and offers some wonderful insights into canine behavior. This book will make you think twice about how you interact with your dog and teach you how to open up the lines of communication using body language, vocalizations (sometimes less is more here!) and so much more. If you love your dog, you owe it to him (and to yourself) to pick up this book!
