Thread: dog psychology books

Ok, I've battled through that lot (not the best place to read all that) and got jack out of it. In fact could even say bullshit to a couple of thing's that I've seen with my own eyes that are a straight contradiction of what they've said, ie: the bit about dogs not being aggressive with other dogs. No straight quote an I can't be arsed looking for it in that lot.

Still good to try a learn from things like this....

You're not the only one!

What ever happened to treating a dog like it is a dog?

It isn't, I'd put it second to the other mentioned. It just goes into detail quite a bit about coercion and compulsion and its effects, thought it may be of interest to you...

You actually read it? I got about a minute in before the waft of bullshit became overpowering
