And it’s uncomfortable.”Most dog books promise better behavior.This one promises something harder: better honesty.In How to Be the Human Your Dog Thinks You Are, a veterinarian pulls the leash off the usual myths—dominance, obedience, “bad dogs”—and turns it gently but firmly toward us. With sharp humor, clinical experience, and moments that hit a little too close to home, this book dismantles the comforting lie that dogs are the problem.Instead, it asks better questions:Why does your dog feel unsafe?Why does your presence matter more than commands?Why do dogs forgive faster than humans—but still pay the price?Blending science, real stories from clinics and shelters, and ten deceptively simple truths every dog owner avoids, this book doesn’t shame you.It challenges you.If you’re looking for quick fixes, this book will frustrate you.If you’re willing to look at yourself—with honesty, humor, and humility—it might change the way your dog looks at you forever.”Because your dog already believes you’re better than this.The least you can do is try to deserve it.”
