Three Dimensional Dog is a full-color, easy-to-understand exploration of the canine mind that answers the ultimate question, “Why did my dog just do that?”Through this journey we discover that everything a dog does, thinks, and feels is part of a larger, connected system of behavior; a system that unfolds logically over time, like a story with a beginning, middle, and end.What is revealed is a rational, child-like intelligence on a desperate search for connection within secure relationships.Dogs are no longer seen as simple, mechanical creatures, but rather as creative problem-solvers capable of open-ended innovation and clever manipulation.This book features high-resolution, color photography of the specific dogs that are discussed as case studies.

  1. Suzzon W.

    Excellent resource for a dog’s training
    Our baby girl Goldendoodle is loving and sweet but was behind the curve on training when we got her at almost 7mos of age. Add to that our novice status with a big energetic dog and it’s training, and the results are worried, anxiety-riddled dog parents. I would consider this book a supplement to an actual reputable dog trainer working with a dog’s behavioral issues. But the book is an excellent resource in helping to understand a dog’s behavior. The insight the book provides can help a dog parent immensely throughout the training process — and that process is a about a dog’s lifetime! The ability to anticipate acting out by a dog before unwanted behavior happens is explained and extremely helpful. The information provided is thought provoking, compelling, and reassuring for a dog parent who is perplexed by their dog’s behaviors. This is especially helpful in understanding and being reassured of training a high energy, working dog breed. Would highly recommend this book.

    Sensible and inspiring
    This book was very easy to read and was based on the principles of behavior that I as a parent have heard many times. It was inspiring to learn that these same principles can be applied with my dog. I particularly enjoyed the vignettes about specific dogs and how these principles of behavior helped them and their owners.

    A must read for dog owners
    We have a rescue -German shepherd- a challenge! After reading the book, I understand her needs! She is also receiving training from Amy at 3 dimensional.

    This is an awesome book. Aaron has a deep understanding of how dogs think and what motivates them to act. And, just as important, he explains it in a fun and accessible way. I learned a ton and not just about dogs! All his theories apply to life, kids and relationships in general. I strongly suggest picking up a copy of 3d Dog!

    An excellent book
    I read this book when our Doberman puppy, Samson, was about 6 months old. It gave us so much insight into the way he processes the world around him. Reading Three Dimensional Dog was a game changer for our family and I highly recommend the book to any dog owner that wants to not only understand dog behavior, but also wants to maximize the experience of being a “dog parent”.

    Interesting to read
    Interesting theory on dog behavior but no training tips.

    As a current owner of five adopted Dobermans, I highly recommend reading Three Dimensional Dog as an excellent source of examining canine behavior from a modern perspective. A useful tool to add to basic obedience training that discusses the long-term parenting relationship between man’s best friend and his people. Thank you, Aaron McDonald, for sharing this theory with the masses and for giving us new insight to our pack’s behavior. “Bow-wow, woof-woof, bravo!”

    A must read for all dog parents!
    I could not put this book down! I could see all the mistakes I am making as a dog parent and Aaron clearly explained what I needed to do to correct them. I love that dogs rarely forget their training only test my parent’s resolve to reinforce boundaries and expectations. An easy read full of help. A must for all new dog parents or even us old dog parents! Great job Aaron!

    Easy read but not backed up by enough ’science’, still this man is clearly a dog guru
