Review of 'In Defence Of Dogs' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

If it were up to me, every single prospective dog owner, would be required to read this book. It's wonderful, and it lays to rest a lot of the twoddle spouted on televised dog behaviour, and "training".

It also points out how important it is NOT to assume our dogs are capable of the same thought processes, and emotions that we humans are. That is a huge, and sadly very commonly made mistake.

Even veteren dog owners and trainers can learn something from this book; it's a pleasure to read, and comes with a wealth of information and advice. Well done!
