Helpful Score: 1
This book is phenomenal! Anyone with a dog or considering getting a dog should read it. Jon Katz writes a comprehensive guide to understanding how dogs work, think, and play, and defines the basic needs they need to have fulfilled for a good life. He is not shy about putting his own mistakes out for the reader to learn from, but the positive tone is constant throughout. The messages I came away from the book with are that a dog is a joy, a friend, a being with basic needs, and it's rarely ever too late to to change a dog's behavior. This book has positively impacted my relationship wth my 2 dogs, and I recommend it to everyone I know who has a dog, but I'm not letting go of my copy!

Wonderful book - his advice in the book is mostly aimed at people with medium-sized dogs like collies and labs (his dogs), it would seem that he isn't a big fan of modern man.
