About this listen
A stirring, inspiring book with the power to change the way we understand and communicate with our dogs. Few people are more qualified to speak about the abilities and potential of dogs than Jennifer Arnold, who for the past twenty years has trained service dogs for people with physical disabilities and special needs. Arnold has developed a unique understanding of dogs' capabilities, intelligence, sensitivity, and extra-sensory skills. Her training method is based on teaching dogs to make choices—as opposed to following commands—through kindness and encouragement rather than fear and submission, and her results are extraordinary. To Arnold, dogs are neither wolves in need of a pack leader nor babies in need of coddling; rather, they are extremely trusting beings attuned to their owners' needs and they aim to please. Relationships between dogs and humans go awry when we fail to understand our dogs and when we send them confusing, mixed signals. Arnold's firsthand experience—from what moved her to start her exemplary nonprofit and how she developed her methodology—guides this book and gives it a powerful emotional heft. Stories drawn from Arnold's life and the lives of the dogs who were her greatest teachers are convincing, unforgettable, and compelling testimony and make this book a heart-warming, captivating read that will forever change the way you see your dog by showing you the way your dog sees the world.

Dogs are the most social animals on the planet, second only to humans in their ability to read and understand emotion. Even chimps and bonobos, our closest genetic relatives, are no match for dogs when it comes to social cognition. Jennifer Arnold understands this better than anyone, having spent the past 25 years training service dogs for people with disabilities at Canine Assistants. She is a pioneer in the emerging field of "bond-based" dog training.

A must read for any dog owner!!!
Would you listen to Through a Dog's Eyes again? Why?
I would and, in fact, am already half way through my second listen, love this book!
What about Jennifer Arnold’s performance did you like?
Ms. Arnold's narration was superb, given in the calm, serene, unhurried tempo and tone we should all use when dealing with our dogs, it was wonderful.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Through a Dog's Eyes?
I will apply all insight provided by Ms. Arnold through her years of personal and invaluable professional experience. Thank you Ms. Arnold!
Any additional comments?
I loved this book, a true pet handling insight manual, and will rely on its wealth of information for as long as I own pets.

A Must For Every Dog Owner
I absolutely loved this! I'm in the process of training my first puppy, and couldn't have come across this book at a better time. Jennifer Arnold does a wonderful job of presenting the history of the dog/human relationship and modern research about the canine mind. She explains both the impressive capabilities of dogs and their limitations. Though her opinion is very clear throughout, she does a good job of backing it up not only with anecdotes, but also with scientific research.
It is important to be aware that this is not a training book that spells out specific steps for training your dog. There is a very useful, but brief, appendix that covers specifics of the author's training technique ("choice training"). The main purpose of the book seems to be teaching the reader to understand dogs and how dogs understand things, essential information that seems to be missing from all of the training books that I've read so far.
I am so glad that Jennifer Arnold chose to narrate this book herself. She does an excellent job, and it just felt right to hear her personal experiences and philosophies from her own lips.

eh
There are some interesting parts to this book, but overall it's eh -- a little boring, the narration a bit sanctimonious, and the reasoning inconsistent. Here's an example of inconsistency - in the first chapter, we're told that a dog can't learn that he shouldn't eat food that is left out on the counter or table (rather the dog will only become afraid of the particular place where he has been punished for eating). This inability to generalize would be a limitation indeed. Later we're told very fantastic things that dogs have learned to do (e.g., go through a sequence of events during and after an owner's seizure) that require much more sophisticated cognitive abilities than generalizing from table to counter.
