5.0 out of 5 starsGet into the mind of the dog
By bok on February 7, 2004
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent book. i believe all dog owners who love thier best friend must read it.
john fisher is a dog behaviourist, read: dog shrink. reading between the lines of this book, i believe he is very dedicated and is driven strongly by his love for dogs.
in the first chapter of this book, he explains what it is he does - he listens and looks at how a dog behave, or what the problem behaviours are; he would use then his vast knowledge of how a dog would behave/think to recommend a solution.

next, he would explain how modern society/living clashes with having a well behaved dogs. the crux of most dog problems is social ranking. modern society sets this basic instinct in dogs awry at times. in a short chapter, he tries to tell us how we can re-establish ourselves as masters in the eyes of the dog.
the rest of the book lists from A-Z a long list of behaviourial problems and how to deal with it. most problems will be attached a related real life problem he encountered, and the solution he advised.
the book concludes with a 10 page appendix. this is where he lists his techniques to olve problem behaviours, there are only 1 or 2 techniques though.
i suspect 'Think Dog! An Owner's Guide to Canine Psychology' by the same author is a newer version of this book, which was first published in 1991. so you could check that book out.
if you love dogs, understand their mentality, read this book!

5.0 out of 5 starsVery illuminating, excellent resource
By Avid Reader on January 18, 2003
Format: Paperback
Written by an experienced pet behaviour councellor, this book is a must-read for dog owners, especially inexperienced ones. One of the most educational books on dogs I've ever come across. Explains many misconceptions we have about the way dogs interact and behave and assumptions we make that lead to negative results when training our dogs. Every topic discussed is supported by examples from Mr. John Fisher's practice in his work with problem behaviour, or rather what we label as problem behaviour according to our value system. I'll definitely buy Mr. Fisher's other book "Dogwise: The Natural Way to Train Your Dog" as soon as I find it.

5.0 out of 5 starsThink Like Your Dog!!
By A Customer on November 27, 2000
Format: Paperback
This book is a must for dog owners! Dealing with a dominant puppy was such a frustration until I read Mr. Fisher's book. My puppy's attitude changed the first day I implemented these training ideas. He is now a joy to be around. All it took was me learning to think like a puppy!

5.0 out of 5 starsInformative and User-Friendly!
By Laura on May 9, 2009
Format: Paperback
This is one of the few books I have "at the ready" and use as a resource. Running a dog rescue organization, I like to have answers easily accessible through our vets, trainers and through use of books and other resources. This book helps you to understand how a dog looks at you and the world around him. It's written with humor and is very user-friendly and informative. This is one book I will have for a very long time.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood, common sense answers from an expert
By Hannah Belle on September 10, 2012
Format: Paperback
As a dog trainer,owner, and rescuer I highly recommend this book. It has been around for a long while and almost everything in it has stood the test of time. It helped me a lot when I had breeds whose behaviours I didn't understand. It is an easy read and doesn't try to "sell" you on a specific trainer's theories. I've leant, and lost, many copies of this book and my students have loved it.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Must have book for the family pet owner
By Jane Griffin on May 18, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is very educational and interesting. It has helped me to make my dog a better companion for my family. Everyone that gets a dog should read this book and use it as the guideline for a well rounded family pet. Maybe then there would not be so many dogs in the pound that have behavioral issues and they are not wanted anymore. Big CUDOS to the aurthor for a well writen book.
