Having recently completed a course by one of the authors I decided to read one of their books on the same topic. This is a great book for anyone who has a dog/ dogs, has a love of dogs or is generally interested in human interaction with dogs throughout history.

The book is very wide spanning covering many area including the history and domestication of dogs alongside/ with humans, behavioural traits and how they may have been gained and general methods of dog training. In between all this information there is a healthy lack of a bias or preferences by the author (with one of the authors admitting his own mistakes with his own dog despite being one of the leading experts in dog cognition). Add to this there is a plethora of references, arguments and counter arguments to well held beliefs, myths and general knowledge which makes this book a great read.
