I have had a few people recommend it and I was thinking of downloading to Kindle, would love to know what others thought of the book if you have read it?

I've read it. It took me several attempts though. Laughing

There were parts that were very good, however I found the flowery use of language very annoying and that's why it took me several attempts to read it, as I kept getting cross with it and putting it to one side.

Many people really rate it though and I would have given you my copy, if I hadn't already given it away to someone else.

I doubt you'll learn much from it, Nat, as you've been around difficult/problem/abused dogs yourself, but if you can get hold of a cheap copy, it's worth a read.

I enjoyed it. It's not really a training book, it's more about forming a balanced relationship and I know that some people really hate it (and I can understand their reasons), but I found it a very nice book to read. I dont know if I learned anything but it had me in tears in several places.
I would say that it's worth reading, especially if you can get it cheaply/borrow it, but dont have too high an expectation for it before you start.

I've read it too, and I agree with Jules, it does come across rather 'airy fairy' and she definately lost me with the psychic communication Confused

On the other hand it is pretty harmless and certainly 'nice'. If you're a keen 'doggy book' person (I am Laughing ) then I'd say it's worth a look.

I wouldn't waste your money. I also didn't rate it! There are better 'doggy' books out there.... Smile

I really liked it. I skim read the boring bits and the bits that were a bit too airy fairy for my liking, but on the whole I thought it was a really good book and certainly helped remind me about the type of fair and compassionate person and dog owner I want to be.

I think it's a fantastic book. I didn't feel like I learned a huge amount from it - I'm far from an expert, but I feel as though I'm on the same "wavelength" as the author.

I really enjoyed it, though it made me cry lots, it was nice to read such a compassionate book. I've said before, I'd like to see anyone with a CM book burn it and read this instead Smile
