KismetKat Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 My DD picked up a book by this bloke at a fair stall. Seems he was (or is) on ABC radio somewhere and this book was published in 2001. It's called The dog man - an expert explains dog sense - has anyone heard of him and his theories or read the book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belijae Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've read his book. I took and use some of what he said, but don't neccessarily agree with other parts. From memory, the parts I didn't use were a little over the top than what I thought was necessary in my situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttaburra Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yes, I love that book, still have it. A lot of what he says makes sense and it does explain a lot of dog behaviour. But like many things you need to take it with a pinch of salt to suit your own needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rastus_froggy Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I know this is a very old thread ;) but was doing a search on this guy as I have just been lent his book to read, I am through the first chapter but am struggling with it :D , already I am finding him annoying but I am trying to push through it to get to his theories. Anyone else read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.mister Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) I know this is a very old thread ;) but was doing a search on this guy as I have just been lent his book to read, I am through the first chapter but am struggling with it :D , already I am finding him annoying but I am trying to push through it to get to his theories. Anyone else read it? Yes, I have. I found his story very interesting and like someone else said, take some bits from it and learn, but take it all with a pinch of salt. I don't agree with all his stuff but regardless it is a very fascinating life story, and a lot of what he says does make sense.
