I admit I'm a little disappointed. I was expecting more ground-breaking insight into how dogs really think, but this book didn't really offer anything new. It's likely helpful to new dog owners, but those of us who have had dogs for years and trained them are unlikely to find much new in this. By all means not a bad book, but not what I was hoping for.
