Warren Eckstein

To become a good companion for humans, are dogs best treated like dogs, or like humans? Eckstein advocates for both. A dog owner needs to understand the psychology of dogs, especially their pack nature, need for positive reinforcement, and innate ability to understand non-verbal cues. Dogs also need to be treated with respect, the same type one would give any other family member. The book was a little too far toward the pampering side for me, but this is still a useful book that covers all show more of the basic behavioral areas. I finished thinking I knew more about why certain training tactics are needed. show less

OK--has a few cute stories and tidbits, but nothing special or reliable about it.
