Great book about understanding your dog!
« on: September 28, 2006, 05:21:26 am »
I am mid-way through How Dogs Think, Understanding the Canine Mind by Stanley Coren and it is SO interesting!  The author really goes into explaining how dogs perceive the world differently than we do, and explains the hows and whys.  I definitely recommend it -although it's not really a "light" read, it's fascinating.

I haven't read this book but I have several books by Coren and I agree that he is fancinating.
*How to Speak Dog* is great too and it is not too heavy a read.
