Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Didn't Hit the SpotI bought this book after one of my puppies was displaying aggressive behavior hoping to gain some inside as to why this was but I found that this book never really answered my questions. It is written in a very impersonal way and I found it hard to get into. I also purchased two other book at the time which I found much more to my liking and they were Victoria Stillwell's training book and also the Puppy Whisper which I would recommend over this book. Rating:  - fab book This book is great but may be a little in depth for the general dog owner. I'm training to become a behaviourist and it has been invaluable for my coursework, and general personal learning, but i feel it may be too indepth for an owner who just wants a book to learn a little more about their dog and how he thinks. An excellent book, but unless you find 'normal' dog books tedious and boring or are ready to take the next step into understanding your dogs psychology, this may be a miss for you. dog owners who are interested on why their dog behaves in certainways, and wants to know more would do well to buy this as it cover a range of topics including hormones, brain funcion, heretitary traits etc. But a warning this is not a training book! it is a book more interseted in the psychology of the dog, and what makes them the way they are, it may help you understand why he does what he does, but won't particlarly help you 'fix' him. Definately worth the money. Rating: - Not the greatestI am not as enamoured with the book as the other readers. I am studying to be a Dog Obedience Instructor, and although I did find the book to be very informative, it went into way too much detail for the average dog owner to enjoy. In the beginning, when the author is discussing the chemical workings of the dogs brain, I found it to be very dry and thought that a lot of that information was unnecessary unless you happen to be studying to become a vet. However, once you have read the first third of the book, the author starts discussing dog psychology and I found this to be very informative and I would recommend it for this reason. Rating: - This book prevents new training mistakes and fixes old ones.Through excellent illustrations and explanations this book allows you to understand what your dog is telling you even in complex situations. It provides step by step methods for dealing with behavior that other authors wouldn't begin to try to tackle. By applying the advice and enlightment gained from this book, we immediately noticed improvement in our dog's behavior - this guy knows what he is talking about. After reading this book, you will feel like a lot of things have fallen into place, even if you have a lot of experience with dogs. This book pulls it all together. Rating: - A must for dog owners or anyone considering becoming one.I became enthralled in this book. I always considered myself an expert in the field of dogs. I have lived with dogs all my life, but not until reading this book understood them so well. I have recently ordered The Cat's Mind, also by Fogle, and can't wait to read it. The Dog's Mind truly gave me a wonderful look at my favorite companions. I recommend this book to all dog lovers.
