I've received a recommendation from a friend for this book, though the rec also came with some warnings that sometimes Gray goes off the rails in ways that don't seem completely reasonable. But that the book was still worth reading, so throwing it on the TBR.

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. If you're trying to better understand how to communicate effectively with dogs (and maybe other people too), this book has a lot to offer. 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.

Flying through this book despite all the random crap I've got going on. Because I read this book for the first time less than a year ago, a lot of it has remained in my head —especially names, which I'm not naturally good at keeping in mind—, but I'm able to notice a lot of new details, so that's good.
