Query: Condescending and downright insulting.

I was really put off by the tone of this book even in the first 10 pages. It's clear that Jean knows a lot about dogs, but she comes across as a holier-than-thou know it all that does nothing but ridicule anyone with a point of view other than her own. What is the point of insulting your readers who are trying to learn something new? To that end this book is worthless.Much better alternatives would be the excellent books by The Monks of New Skete: "How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend: The Classic Training Manual for Dog Owners (Revised & Updated Edition)" and "The Art of Raising a Puppy" They spend less time extolling the author's own points of view and instead actually talk about dogs in a way that doesn't make the reader feel like an idiot.
