(Wo)man's Best Friend

Decoding Your Dog edited by Debra F. Horwitz and John Ciribassi with Steve Dale
Most of us dog lovers consider our pet a member of the family. However, when our dogs don't get the guidance and direction they need, it can lead to uncontrollable bad behaviors that can make us feel that we have no choice but to drop the dog off at a shelter or rescue. Decoding Your Dog was written by a team of top researchers, scientists and veterinarians with the hope of explaining to the reader why our dogs do what they do.

Decoding Your Dog received a starred review from Booklist: "the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists is an organization of veterinarians with advanced training and experience in the field of applied animal behavior. More than 90 percent of pet owners feel that their dog is part of the family so the need for good communication between dog and owner becomes obvious if that familial relationship is to be positive for both species. Behavior problems in pets can erode that relationship, and without successful training or treatment, the result may be the loss of the dog to a shelter or to euthanasia...libraries and dog owners may have found the holy grail with this title."
