DOG SENSE How the New Science of Dog Behavior Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet

It seems there are two schools of thought about dog training, and Bradshaw front-loads his book to promote his views with DNA studies, findings from archaeological digs, and what he surmises about how domestication came about. Narrator Michael Page has a steady, mellifluous delivery with excellent pacing; however, his lack of modulation or emotion makes the material sound like the nightly news. By Chapter Four, we start to glimpse Bradshaw’s passionate affection for man’s best friend and some of his good ideas about how to make their lives better through behavior modification. This listener just wishes he hadn’t spent so much time bashing people he disagrees with. D.G. 2012 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2011]
