    Dog behaviour- An easy to read, good guide for anyone who really does want to understand their dogs
    I run a small animal rescue organisation and am dealing with over 20 dogs on a daily basis. This book is very good for someone who is trying to understand their dog’s behaviour towards them and towards other dogs. Much of it I have learned from experience, with the dogs being my teacher, but there were many other notes in this little book that made me stop and think,’ Hmm, I didn’t get that part right !’ When you are dealing one on one with a dog or maybe two dogs the advice is very good. For me dealing with multiple animals all the time it is at times difficult to isolate and train a dog on a one to one basis and follow exactly the advice given by Mr Dunbar. However, I do highly recommend this book. We as humans need to learn to understand our dogs body language and more often than not when we don’t understand what the dog is trying to tell us, that is when the problems arise. Understanding is a two way street.

    This is an excellent book on how dogs think and learn and; why they act the way they do. Ian Dunbar has written several good books on dogs and this is one of them.

    Good information
    This book has a lot of good information in it. Suggest close evaluation of content if you are buying for a child. May prove to be over the head of a younger child.

    Great training tips, nice and positive, just how i like it. If i had to hurt my dog to train him i wouldnt do it. Ian dunbar is one of my fav trainers and hopefully shows in this book it is rarely the dog that cant do it, it is the trainer who cant train!

    I liked it, it has a lot of great information. At times it goes into too much detail and can be a little outdated. Much has been learned since this book was written but much is still relevant.

    Ian Dunbar is a wise man, and I suspect he could write a brilliant book titled Human Behavior, a Dog’s Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet just as easily as he did this one. I find myself dropping his name and thoughts into conversations on a wide range of subjects, most not dog related at all. A must for dog owners, sometimes the simplest truths are the hardest to recognise. Kindle editing could be tightened up a bit, and it ended a little too soon but a fascinating read just the same, and I have my dog’s vet to thank for the referral.
