Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great addition to any dog lover's libraryI am a dog owner with a strong interest in dog training and animal behavior and have read many excellent books on those subjects - but I find Turid Rugaas to have a very unique voice. The author believes that dogs are dogs and in our arrogance as humans we have lost sight of that fact; we humans try to train away every natural instinct a dog has and have no tolerance for 'failure' or 'disobediance'. In this book, instead of attacking barking as a training problem to be solved she reminds us that ...

(For example, imposing our need for quiet by using shock collars rather than understanding that the dog is upset/frustrated/loney.) In "Barking," Rugaas focuses on an age-old topic. Yet, she does so in such a straight-forward, ... Read More Rating: - A deep understandingI also read a great many dog books, and this is one of the best. Rugaas' descriptions are deceptively simple, and might appear to be nothing new. However, they portray barking as a language we simply don't speak, rather than as a problem to be solved. Rugaas does provide solutions as well as descriptions and common causes for each type of barking. This book is well worth the read, and for those of us who are dog trainers by profession or avocation, worth several reads over ... Read More
