 Confused, but enjoyable anyway January 26, 2007

Well, imagine my suprise when I began reading this book only to discover that it had nothing to do with Dog the Bounty Hunter. I had prepared myself to delve deeply into the inner workings of this man by strapping on an extra absorbant Depends adult undergarment and surrounding myself with copius amounts of food to sustain me throughout my intended reading frenzy. I still read the book, and I guess it's great if you want to train actual dogs, but as a guide to help you stalk a trained bounty hunter? Well I had to subtract one star for that shortcoming.

Incredible book - it is so complete and really requires re-reading numerous times. For those who have difficulties with technical terms I advise buying the Saunders Comprehensive Veterinary dictionary - probably the best of its kind and truly a good companion when reading such advanced books.
well worth the time and money! August 15, 2003

This book along with volume one are the most in depth and useful books on dogs, their behavior and training. A 'must read' for those who work with dogs and very useful for the owner who wants to know dogs better.

For a dog behaviour professional, this book and its companion volume have to be the most useful and important resource around. Not for the casual dog owner, but then that's not the target market. A wealth of material, well presented and organised, and without bias. Now when's the one on behaviour modification coming out??!!!

I would give this book five stars if it weren't for the level of difficulty in reading it...just had to take off a star for that reason alone. This isn't the book for the first time dog owner or casual trainer. It's a serious book for the well-versed student of dog behavior and training. Mr. Lindsay definitely knows what he's talking about but the reader must already have a fairly good grasp of the "concepts" behind his explanations in order to fully understand the material. It was a good read that I had trouble putting down, though! If you're serious about learning the more advanced concepts and principles in dog behavior and training, the book is well laid out and informative to the max!
