You can see a review in a Madison paper here (http://www.madison.com/tct/features/index.php?ntid=97216&ntpid=0)

I know this can be contraversial, but I think dogs have many more emotions than has been previously thought. She's right about hard eyes on a dog--I saw Tasha give me a hard-eyed look just before she snapped at a little dog whose owner I was chatting with in the park. I had Prof. McConnell in school and do respect her work, even if I don't always agree 100% with her methods.

Cool. I'm always open to new research and like to read everything and then form my own opinions. Thanks for the info.!

You'll both have to tell us what you think about it. I do love her little booklets. They're easy to read, to the point, and, my favorite part, very practical tools.

Thanks for the link!
