 Wonderful Book Addressing Personalized Dog Ownership/Relationship March 27, 2006

I found this book to be very informative and stimulating. For someone who is looking for some professional to give them a cut and dry answer to their prospective dog relationship questions this is not the right book. For someone who is interested in the mechanics and development of a highly unique (and ultimately rewarding) interpersonal relationship with a member of another species then this is the book you want. Just like people, cultures, and snowflakes, dogs are just as special and unique as individuals and breeds. This book is designed as more of a workbook or troubleshooting guide with a dash of dry humor and executed with the author's adroit writing style. If you are interested in all the different breeds get The Atlas of Dog Breeds of the World. If you are interested in developing a health well informed relationship with your specific dog (and learn a few things about yourself along the way) get this book.
 Great concept, bad execution. September 29, 2004

I am currently looking for my next dog and came across this book at the library. The idea sounded promising but I was very disappointed. There are too many checklists and questions without real guidance (a questionnaire at the end of each chapter would have been better) and they are alternating with more examples than I care to know of how the sample humans deal with their dog situation. I started skipping from chapter to chapter, hoping to find some real revelations somewhere especially since each chapter sounded promising but in the end I was utterly confused and certainly did not gain any new insights. I give the book two stars for the idea that is behind its contents, but the execution is poor.
Fascinating! June 13, 2002

A Must Read for Future Dog Owners March 5, 2002

As a professional dog trainer, DogSmart, by Myrna Milani, is a book I recommend to all my students. Hopefully people will read it before buying a dog, but better late than never. This book is full of great recommendations on what to ask yourself before you commit to a lifetime relationship with your canine partner.

This is one of the best books I've ever read! Easy to understand, but she doesn't treat the reader like an idiot, either. Definitely not one of those 'you do it this way, and any other way is wrong' books. Also very interesting reading, and not so dry you put it down after three paragraphs.
