This ebook is A MUST READ for anyone working with companion animals, or anyone who seeks to better understand dogs and their behavior. It offers scientific information in an accessible format with occasional nods to pop culture and interesting stories from the author & co-author’s direct field experience. An essential add to any dog behavior library.

Very impressed by this book. It reads like a science text book, clear cut and on-point. It’s not a how-to-train-your-dog or 1st time puppy-owner book. It muses on various fields, also some controversial ones and even though you might not agree on everything, if makes you think. It’s up to date on the newest research, and explains essential background-information short and easy. I also liked how it uses examples and comparisons to humans and other animals to spice things up.
