I think Lottie's read a lot of them Patch!

Agree with Jean Donaldson, Dunbar, and Pat McConnell, her The Other end of the Leash is good as it discusses why we as humans react the way we do to dogs.

I loved the other end of the leash - I'm still to read stuff by Ian Dunbar though and was part way through the Culture Clash when Don't Shoot the Dog arrived and I got side tracked...

Been there, done that ... much of what you are reading is seminal (as they say) and it's actually quite exciting when you get each book (or am I sad to find that's what happens to me ... )

True - - we can glean a lot from body language and so on but I'd love to be able to really understand dogs, on the deepest levels, and to see life with humans as they see it.

I'd be interested in that thread if there is one Wysiwyg.
