The Other End of the Leash: Why We Do What We Do Around Dogs by Patricia B. McConnell
informative
lighthearted
slow-paced
5.0
I read this book in preparation for my CCPDT exam.
An excellent study on examining our relationship with dogs. Though some points were redundant to me at this point (after reading so many dog books), McConnell proves why she is one of the most relevant names in the field. She does an amazing job explaining how and why dogs do things and how and why we should respond. Although this book isn't heavy with specific training advice (which I honestly think is for the best), it should be a must read for owners--both new and experienced--when they are curious as to how to handle their dogs.
