Product Description
For centuries, dogs have known that they, not humans, run the show. But not all dogs know how to get the best from their people. Finally, from the leading expert in the field comes a straightforward, easy-to-use manual that's written for dogs by a dog. This indispensable reference provides foolproof advice on obtaining everything a dog deserves, from the best food and exercise to grooming and chauffeur services. Here are all the tools a dog needs for selecting, training, and living with a well-behaved human.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect Dog - Human Book   December 9, 2007
Kate Feinstein (Newport, Pennsylvania)

Very funny book, and unique perspective on the dog-human relationship. Had me laughing out loud in several sections, especially as my own dog has trained me on some of Tess's same lessons. Also insightful to many human quirks, and how our habits are viewed from the dogs' perspective. Great gift for dog lovers, and keep one for yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Too True   December 7, 2007

This book is a tell all. Tess, a lab owned by Brian Kahn exposes the way she shamefully manipulates him. She shares all the well know secrets and some not so well known about how dogs, under the guise of being pleasers in fact run the homes they live in.

I must concede she does so with wit and charm. This is a fun book.

it is the funniest book written from a dog's perspective. If you love dogs it is just hilarious and you can see the logic


5 out of 5 stars absolutely hilarious   January 12, 2009

If you have a labrador, this is a must-read. My dog "trained" me in much the same way that Tess apparently trained her owner. The commentary from the dog's perspective is very clever - I especially loved the section on taking walks. According to Tess, humans' lack of a sense of smell causes us to walk in a straight line and miss out on much of the richness of the world.
