Through a Dog's Eyes
I recently picked up an audiobook read by the author Jennifer Arnold, titled "Through a Dog's Eyes" and then realized I had watched a PBS special with the same title awhile back, so I was not expecting much new from the book. Was I wrong! Jennifer has spent the last twenty years preparing Service Dogs for both adults and children with a variety of special needs through her non-profit organization ( none of the recipients are charged for the dogs ).
This in not a book about dog training, but one about behavior and cognition in animals and in dogs in particular, with many excellent scientific references and a lot of her heartwarming personal experience to back it up.
Her sensitivity and insight are amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone truly wanting to understand the people dog interaction and how amazing dogs really are. So many crude training methods do dogs a real disservice, this is both well documented and refreshing,and all can find in it sonething to apply to their own dog. I did.

It will be interesting to discuss some of the point Jennifer Arnold makes after you 've all read the book or listened to the audio version. I trained my own Service Dog, so can relate to that part also. Looking forward to your views.
