"Alison" wrote in message ... Has any one read his books. I thinking about buying the cat one, but its not cheap! -- Alison An excellent book to read about dogs in general (he covers dog intelligence and discusses Dr Corens intelligence tests), is "The truth about dogs" by Stephen Budiansky. It's not a training book but more a study of dogs in general. It answers all those wee questions (why do dogs scratch the ground after peeing etc etc) and is a very informative and excellent study on dogs. I disagree with his blinkered view on dog training but his documented research and facts are excellent. Paul |

Thanks Matt, If that's an article how longs the book LOL. I like the way he writes. It's hard to find something scientific and readable at the same time. Alison |

Paul Hi Paul , *but his documented research and facts are excellent.* That sounds what I'm looking for . There are many excellent dog books but there seem to less about cats or maybe I just haven't found then yet. What sort of view does he have on dog training ? Alison |
