This is one of the best books I have read on dog training even though not a single "trick" is formally taught in the book. It's about learning to see the world from the canine perspective and once you do, life with your pooch will be so much more rewarding. Think of your dog as you being plopped down in a foreign country where you don't know the language. Someone comes up to you and says "sit" in their native tongue. Would you know what to do? Probably not. But if they used their body correctly to explain, along with the verbal cue, you might catch on. That's just one example of the author's approach to showing the reader what it is like to be a dog in a human's world.

This book also makes one think about our assumptions and attitudes to humans as well. Learning to think like a dog might also improve one's relationships in the human world as well.
