My DD picked up a book by this bloke at a fair stall. Seems he was (or is) on ABC radio somewhere and this book was published in 2001. It's called The dog man - an expert explains dog sense - has anyone heard of him and his theories or read the book?

I've read his book. I took and use some of what he said, but don't neccessarily agree with other parts. From memory, the parts I didn't use were a little over the top than what I thought was necessary in my situation.

Yes that's the one - he's had a colurful life.

Yes, I love that book, still have it. A lot of what he says makes sense and it does explain a lot of dog behaviour. But like many things you need to take it with a pinch of salt to suit your own needs.

I know this is a very old thread but was doing a search on this guy as I have just been lent his book to read, I am through the first chapter but am struggling with it , already I am finding him annoying but I am trying to push through it to get to his theories.

Anyone else read it?

Yes, I have. I found his story very interesting and like someone else said, take some bits from it and learn, but take it all with a pinch of salt. I don't agree with all his stuff but regardless it is a very fascinating life story, and a lot of what he says does make sense.
