Generations of dogs have been labeled training lemons for requiring actual motivation when all along they were perfectly normal. Numerous other completely and utterly normal dogs have been branded as canine misfits simply because they grew up to act like dogs. Barking, chewing, sniffing, licking, jumping up, and occasionally (just like people) having arguments are as normal and natural for dogs as wagging tails and burying bones.

The narration is awful!
I couldn't get through the first chapter because the narration is so poor. I plan to buy a hard copy and read that way.

Stuttering
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I'd change the narrator.
Who was your favorite character and why?
N/A
What didn’t you like about Christopher Solimene’s performance?
The narrator stammers, as though he has trouble pronouncing the words. It's almost like he hadn't read the work before he decided toi record. A little distracting.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
N/A
Any additional comments?
Overall an informative book.

Boring voice
I like the information. I already have a background in psychology and this helped better understand what I already knew and helped put it into focus. However the voice is really boring and I lose interest quickly

Written by Captain Obvious...
This book is basically a compilation of all academic terms for the common sense and general knowledge subjects about dogs. I don't think anybody out there needs or wants to know these jargon soup but rather learn the actual way dogs learn. what a waste of time :/
