Excellent book

If you are a lover of fog flesh this is a book you must read. It will help to distinguish between bad behavior and doggy behavior. You will be gripped with the complexity of these fine creatures. Before the book I was pretty convinced that God absolutely had his best day when he made th dog. Now I am carry sin of it.

Very Good

I learned a lot from listening to this book. Very easy to listen to and very well written.
I highly recommend this book.

Love my dogs just liked this book

Compared to famous authors like Gladwell it would be hard for a PhD writing even passionately, to
match that level. But it is a decent listen per my dogs Kris & Farley who give it 8 paws up as I listened while on walks.

very informative...

If you could sum up The Genius of Dogs in three words, what would they be?

excellent book but for my purposes...i skipped most of part 2 and would have skipped part 1...part 3 really got to what i was looking for...not saying the first 2 parts weren't informative but again for my interest...they were far too detailed...

I now know what I thought all along...

Wonderful book on the recent research on canine intelligence and how they processes information. Just confirms what I have know these 60 long years....but no one believed. A little tangental at times but still a good read.

For those that need to know more about there canine friends....
