Humans and dogs have enjoyed a unique relationship for thousands of years. Yet, just in the last few generations, something has changed. For canine consultant Christopher Nicolov many humans have begun to disrespect the dog's nature. A kind of unintended selfishness has lead to over-humanizing dogs and an explosion in behavioral problems. Filled with a sense of history and personal accounts from a lifetime of working with dogs, the book implores dog owners to rethink the path we are on.
