"The Language of Dogs" Author: Jan Fennell Translator: Kanako Takahashi Published: 2006 Dog training is a source of worry and failure for many dog lovers. The root of the problem lies in ignorance and misunderstanding of the instincts that have continued since dogs were still wolves. Dogs that believe themselves to be the "leader" and try to protect their owners excessively. Or, dogs that succumb to that pressure... A groundbreaking method of raising dogs that connects various symptoms to solutions from the dog's perspective! *I have only read it once, so the book itself is not bent or torn, but it has been stored on my home bookshelf, so the paper has discolored and yellowed. Please understand this before purchasing.
