A lot of this book is very wise. I don't have a ton to nitpick, and they really would be nitpicks, about the theoretical and practical advice this book communicates.

It's not a training manual, it definitely goes deeper, but it helps to explain why "dog training" is at its core a two-creature process, and the human has to work just as hard as the dog to get it right.
