The Heart of the Matter : Breaking Codes and Making Connections Between You and Your Dog or Your Cat

Rating:
Summary: Wretched
Review: This is the most poorly-written volume of bad advice, misinformation, fabrication and fantasy in the modern "dog training" genre, and that's going up against some pretty stiff competition.

Please, please don't try to do the things that are vaguely described in this rambling waste of perfectly good trees. Many of them are potentially harmful to you and your dog. All of them are an insult to your dog. Don't throw things at him, feed him cake, isolate him from other dogs, or bolt him to the floor for an eight-hour stretch (or at all, for that matter).

The "prose" itself is an insult to the reader. I can't believe a legitimate publisher let this one get by. It's like being privy to the acid trip of a particularly dull deadhead.

Just because something is contrary to everything else you have ever heard or read doesn't make it "revolutionary" or full of new insights and fresh ideas. Sometimes it's just the ramblings of a disordered mind, or minds.
