 Still great after all these years, 2008-04-24
Despite being over 30 years old, this book is still a powerful and exciting account of how life, including humans, came to be. The examples and explanations (aphid & ant coexistence, fluke worms in snails) are breathtaking in their descriptions of the natural world, and could easily awaken an interest in zoology in the casual reader.

A must for all dog-owners., 2001-10-14
Having tried a few different techniques to help our timid-but-dominant collie x I was beginning to despair of finding a method where I could interact with the dog whilst improving our relationship. Linda Tellington-Jones provides such a method. It is a well written & illustrated book & I have seen results almost instantly - Meg & I have a much closer & more trusting relationship after only a few days. I cannot recommend the book enough. Buy it.

Jan Fennell
By HarperCollins Entertainment
The behavioural problems covered in The Dog Listener will sound all too familiar to anyone who shares their life with a canine companion. During the 25 years that Jan Fennell has been working with dogs, she's been increasingly aware of the ways in which communication between man's best friend and ourselves has broken down. Inspired by Monty Roberts, Fennell embraces similar ideas to those found in The Man Who Listens to Horses. Rather than trying to fit human psychology to animals, the starting point is observing how animals communicate, how they structure their groups in the wild and what they think their role is. Initially Fennell looks at the role that dogs have played historically--primarily a working role, in which human and animal worked side by side to the same goal. Many owners flinch as the idea of a dog "working", with associations of oppression and hierarchy. But dogs naturally form a hierarchical society with the strongest, most intelligent dog leading the pack. Humans might thrive on the concept of democracy but dogs don't automatically feel the same way. When we understand and respect a dog's mindset, effective training can be done with intell...
Thoroughly inspirational, 2008-04-11
I found this book thoroughly inspirational. Jan Fennel has hit on something which simply works. It is purely logical and rational and just from putting things into the dogs perspective allows us to understand how they think and therefore why they sometimes behave the way that they do. I bought the book at the same time as getting a puppy and my 3 month old puppy now walks at heel with no need for a lead (though I still use one) and is a beautifully behaved member of our family.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

Excellent resource for learning 'pack leadership', 2008-05-17
For those who want to expand their knowledge and abilities with dog leadership skills this book provides valuable tools for achieving that goal. Every episode from Cesar Millan's first 3 series of 'The Dog Whisperer' is reviewed and analysed. This in depth analysis helps to make very real the method which Cesar uses.
Unlike 'dog training' Cesar and others who follow the 'pack system' focus on creating harmony and balance in our dogs. We use our dog's natural and hard wired instincts to create change which allow them to 'be themselves'. This method helps to meet our dogs needs rather than us just getting our needs met when we get love and affection from our dogs.
This book allows us to get a much deeper understanding of the way Cesar uses the 'power of pack leadership' to help create happy balanced dogs. The book also gives follow ups which help to see that even with Cesar's help some dogs and their owners are unable to make the desired changes.
This book provides a valuable guide that is well written and very concise. Whatever breed of dog you have, whatever age and whatever your dogs problems you will find help in the pages of this book.

Soooooo helpful, 2008-02-28
This book and 'Cesears way' have become bibles for my partner and me. We hadn't had a dog before so were pleasantly surprised to find that alot of our ideas were being used by Cesear :-). We now have more ideas, confidence and it appears, a happier dog - which has got to be what everyone is after!
Immensley helpful and a really enjoyable read - Cesear Millan is a star:-)

Understanding the dog, 2002-10-06
Excellent reading. Would recommend for anybody wanting to understand dogs that little bit more. Brilliant insight into senses, the brain and communication. It also breaks down the dogs development stage. As a dog trainer this helped me gain better understanding of the dog and the way it sees life. A must for anyone who wants to learn more than pet owners.

 'Some' biology, not 'the' biology, 2008-03-05
This is not the book implied by its title. It is not a chapter by chapter account of domestic cat behaviour, but the edited proceedings of a symposium of cat behaviour specialists. These are accessible to lay people, but some papers are too full of statistics to be of interest to the average cat fanatic, and others which (a bit like some human sociological reseach!) make you think, 'But it didn't need research to tell me that'. And as the editors say in their introduction, 'This second edition covers more, but not all, aspects of domestic cat behaviour and ecology'. As someone who bought the book in the hope of a full and detailed guide, I find myself therefore a little disappointed.

Think Dog, 2008-02-04
Whata wonderful title and a wonderful author. I picked the book up and couldn't put the book down until i had read it from cover to cover... What an insight into a dogs mind from a very simple view point of being the dog!!!!! And hearing his thoughts and interpretaions into human behaviour. No wonder so many dogs are so mixed up.
A great book and a must to all dog lovers

 a serious book on the history of animal behaviour, 2001-04-29
Reading this book I was so pleased I had a little knowledge of the subject of genetics and behaviour. It is a fascinating study and compares many other works discussing each hyposthesis and showing the development of theories in animal behaviour. It would suit those who wish to read a scientific account of ethology and physiology and the agruments in connection with the study of animals.
