This award-winning book explains how dogs and people think differently because they re wired to think differently. Dogs cannot learn to think like people, however, so we must learn to think like dogs. In many U.S. households, canines are held in such high regard that they re considered a part of the family. Nevertheless, there are significant differences between people and dogs, and we must adapt our own behavior to bridge the gap. Think like your Dog takes you through every important step in opening your life to the joy of canine companionship, from choosing a companion dog wisely to preparing your home for your dog s arrival, to bringing your new puppy or new adult dog home for the first time. It walks you through socialization and training, from basic through advanced, discusses common mistakes with dogs and how to avoid them, and tells how to solve problems with difficult dogs. This is boots-on-the-ground information from a trainer with decades of successful experience. "Think Like Your Dog" tells you what works, why it works, and how to make it work for you.

Review
"Do you know what happens to books that I wish I'd written? I cut off their spines and punch holes in them. That's right... it makes ring-binding them possible. And that has become my new shortcut to knowing which books I use as constant reference material or just find enjoyable to read. Once ring bound, books can be kept open while studying them."Think Like Your Dog and Enjoy The Rewards" by Dianna M. Young and her co-author Robert H. Mottram is truly one of those books. And I know you'll find it just as valuable."
--Robert W. Vaughan, writer and editor of "German Shepherd Adventures"
"I've purchased several dog training and behavior books only to be disappointed. This wasn't the case with "Think Like Your Dog." I'm a dog blogger and write several blog posts a week. "Think Like Your Dog" has become my reference guide, helping me to better understand what may be going on in our dogs' heads. If you're looking for a valuable book to add to your library, I highly recommend this one. Every dog owner should read this book (a couple times at least) and then see what a difference it makes in their relationship with their canine."
--Kimberly Gauthier, "Keep the Tail Wagging"
""Think Like Your Dog and Enjoy the Rewards" is an easy to comprehend manual that should be on the shelf of every new dog owner!"
--Review by Karen Pirnot for Readers' Favorite
"The guidance provided in this book will enable a dog owner to 'read' (understand and think like) their dog almost as well as their dog 'read' can read its owner. An important primer on training for both you and your dog."
--Review by Don Messerschmidt for "Portland Book Review"
"This book tackles a breadth of topics, from how to pick your pooch to the importance of socialization. Young and Mottram explain to the reader how to perceive the world from a dog's perspective, aiming to help readers understand how their furry friend thinks."
--Ray Edel, Jersey Dog
"They have a fresh perspective on dogs and people and life that is missing from everyone else. What s interesting is they're talking about how to deal with dogs, but this is not just about dogs it's dating and business and Thanksgiving dinner with the extended family. It s life in the guise of dog training, and it's HUGE."
--Colleen Mondor, dog-training client, Seattle
"A must-read for any dog owner! Dianna Young's training style is right on the money. Loving your dog is a given, but learning to be its leader will make the bond much stronger and more fulfilling."
--Elizabeth Kerstetter, veterinary hospital manager, Selinsgrove, PA
"The book Dianna M. Young wrote and published with her father unlocks secrets that dog owners can use to establish and improve their ideal relationship with man's best friend."
--"Anacortes (WA) American"
