Customer Reviews

A very good read for both professionals and owners
The Other End of the of the Leash takes an insightful look at the way humans communicate with their dogs - both in day to day life and in training. It points out miscommunication between the two species that can interfere with training and the human/dog relationship in general. It is extremely well written and easy to read (humerous in places). A very interesting and fairly light read for training professionals and a true eye-opener for many dog owners.

Why isn't this book better known?
I discovered this book by accident on an dog trainer's web site, while searching the internet for techniques to get the attention of my spaniel even if he'd got an interesting scent in his nose.

The other recommended books were just the same old stuff, but this one is full of ideas and ways to communicate with and understand your dog. Very well written, funny, humble and full of effective techniques. I was in despair and I now feel confident that we are getting there.

easy to read and great for an introduction to dog behaviour
I love the style that this book is written in, it engages the reader easily with interesting takes on behaviour and case studies. As a newcomer to canine behaviour and psychology I found it a pleasure to read and it really helped me reiterate some of the main theories in my study. Highly recommended.
