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. :lol:

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 :?

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

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 :)

I really REALLY enjoyed most of it, thought some of it outstanding and some of it embarassing. Certain bits I skimmed, but I do that anyway. I found her interesting almost more than what she was saying. I think its worth giving a try to, and if you don't like it jack it in. I always give a book 5 chapters or 100 pages whichever comes first and if it bores me, give it to a charity shop ;-)

I agree. :) I read the chapters out of order so the first few then some nearer the end and I think those were the best ones, a few in the middle were a bit airy fairy/idealistic but I skim read those, overall worth a read I think. :D
