    I would not recommend this book to everyone. I would however, strongly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to broaden their perspective as a trainer. It is not a dog training recipe book, but rather a conceptual book.

    The information was excellent, it was just that the narration was so incredibly dull to listen to that at times you kind of forgot you were listening to something because it had just faded into the background.
    Also, I think this is probably a book that’s best suited to actual reading the test format rather than listening to the audio, just because there is a lot of information that sounds like it were in table formats, and that you would want to refer back to, which is hard in an audiobook. I’ve already ordered a hard copy version of this book for this reason, but I still think it’s worth listening to, or doing both.

    I loved the way the history of dog training and pet training was woven into the science to give the reader a clear understanding of what and why others hold certain outdated or no scientific views in the area of canine behavior. I’d recommend to others interested in understanding animal behavior in general, but especially for dogs.
