Authoritative, yet sensitive and personal, this wonderful book is indispensable for all who seek to know their dogs, and revelatory for those of us who think we already do.

Lisa Tenzin-Dolma offers a refreshing alternative to harsh dominance-based dog training methods. It is based on teaching the dog to trust his owner and to choose to cooperate rather than forcing or coercing the dog to obey commands. The inclusion of interesting facts about the way dogs think and illustrative case histories gives the reader much more than just useful training methods. A definite paws up book.
