r. Sophia Yin's new book How to Behave So Your Dog Behaves is not only about dogs, it's about how our behavior affects the personality of our dogs. Although you may not be aware of it, every interaction you have with your dog - with each pat on the head, cluck of disapproval, or offer of a treat, your dog is learning something. Whether he is learning something you want him to learn is another matter. If you want a well-behaved dog, you're going to have to modify your own behavior in order to modify his. The best way to achieve this is to understand how dogs think and learn.

Sophia Yin, a respected applied animal behaviorist, provides an indepth approach to not only understanding dogs, but also understanding how to effectively communicate with them. This positive approach to correcting and training your dog's behaviors will help you see the world from your dog's perspective and provide the necessary training tools to effect astounding behavioral changes.
