Rating:  Summary: Best book on the subject I have ever read Review: This is the best book on dogs I have ever read! It is set forth in simple terms, with easy to follow case studies that illustrate the method. It begins with the author seeking solutions to "dog issues" everyone can relate to. We join her on her journey to solutions that work.There were actually things I learned I do right with my pack of 4. I would recommend this book as a first choice for anyone living with dogs or soon to be. Now if she would only come up with a book on cats.
Rating:  Summary: A view from the pack perspective Review: As a person who works professionally with animals, this book gives me a perspective on the canine pack behavior even when the pack only has two members: 1 human and 1 dog. For me it is the missing piece of the equation. I have read other material on pack behavior but I find Jan's book is very easy to read and implement. I have already started changing my behavior with my rescue (and timid) standard poodle and have begun to see benefits. In fact it's helping me take a fresh look at the 'pack' behavior of my multiple cat household as well.
