I read this book because it was the basis for the dog training techniques in "The Life of Edgar Sawtelle". The author is a dog and horse trainer as well as a poet and philosopher which is an odd combination and makes for some difficult reading. It's a book worth reading if you train dogs or horses as I do. Vickie Hearne asks the question, what do the animals think about us? If you care about the answer to this question this book is for you. There are also some practical training "tips" that will amuse and enlighten.

Interesting, but
Vicki Hearne was an animal trainer, a writer, and a philosopher of sorts. I had high hopes for this book, but her prose was a serious handicap to making it though the book (which I ultimately did). She has some interesting ideas, but desperately needed a good editor to help clarify the points she was trying to make and to simplify her style somewhat.
