Question:

Hi,         I was wondering if anybody has any recommendations for books about understanding dog behavior. e.g., what an alpha dog acts like, pack behavior, basic doggie psychology.         Many thanks,         Elaine

Just read _The Dog Who Loved Too Much_, by Nicholas Dodman.  I thought it was interesting.  Lots of information on different types of aggression. jfs
