Why read it?

3 authors picked Bones Would Rain from the Sky as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book touched me in new and unexpected ways. Renowned trainer Suzanne Clothier’s unparalleled insights into dog emotions combine with her compassionate awareness of how they perceive their own worlds. Written with knowing empathy, Suzanne discusses how to meet dogs’ needs for leadership without cruel coercion, and examines how canine culture clashes with human ignorance and insensitivity. Real dog stories show how respectful relationships can save dogs from tragedy and unnecessary destruction. I personally identified with Clothier’s emotions and learned more progressive ways to reach dogs in ways they understood.

I read this book many years ago and it still lives within me. A beautifully written book that will touch your heart deeply. She takes you on a journey that deepens your relationships with animals. She helps us understand the minds of our dogs with humor, intelligence, and more.

If I tell you that this book made me cry will it prevent you from reading it? There’s so much to love in this one, from the “news you can use” training lessons to the recurring themes of treating our dogs with the empathy, respect, and compassion they deserve. Think you need to be an alpha to have a well-behaved dog? Think again and let Clothier’s beautiful book show you the way.

From Victoria's list on dog training and behavior.
