" This book was a revelation in helping me understand dogs. There is a wealth of information in this book. If you want to understand dogs, then read this book. If you think you already understand dogs, you probably don't, so you you should read this book. I found the book very readable, and I enjoyed the stories about the author's dogs and her experiences. It's written in a sometimes-conversation and sometimes-textbook style. My only complaint is that the author seemed to repeat herself and the book began to drag near the end. I never read to the last page. That said, I'm really glad I read this book. I thought I understood my dog well, and I did. Now I understand her better, and we're both happier for it. "

" Very interesting on the interaction of humans and their dogs. It even made me evaluate how I pet my dog and whether is is pleasing to her. I don't know if I would have been able to make it through reading it but the reader was fantastic and kept me interested even through all of the medical jargon. "

" i learned, from this book, as much about how humans feel & think as dogs do. "

" Fun read. What I liked best, is that I learned that when my dog looks like she is smiling, she really is smiling! :) Pink is my smiley dog, and Zoe is my cuddley dog,unlike most dogs, Zoe likes to be hugged. (maybe cuz she's insecure...) "

" Great book. Got the most out of it, has a great reference section for other dog training books also. "

" Pretty technical... not at all what I was hoping for. "

" Well I tried to read this book But I could not get in to it -after every chapter I read I would try to analyze my dog and then without fail I would begin to question my dop-parenting skills "

" A great book to help you understand your dog. "

" I listened to this while walking the dog and really enjoyed the mix of science and anecdotes. "

" i have to admit, i didn't like this one as much as the first one, the other end of the leash. it was still a very good informative read though, i feel like a better dog trainer for having read it. "

" This book is by a woman with a PHD in animal behavioral psychology. "

" This is my favorite author on canine behavior. She is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and has a great sense of humor that had me giggling on the N in front of strangers. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Info on deciphering facial expressions and body language, emotions in dogs and humans. I have a lot to learn! "

" Great book for any dog lover. "

" This book is a must read for dog lovers. It is so insightful, and although it discusses a lot of "science" and biology of emotions, it is very readable. Filled with anecdotes and interesting case studies, the author explores the emotional side of man's best friend. "

" As usual, Trish McConnell has presented complex information in an easy-to-understand manner. A good read even if you're not a dog lover as it explains a lot about human emotions. "

" Good book to understand newest thought on canine psychology. Lots of references to scientific studies, with good stories about dogs included. A bit of a slog, but worthwhile. "
