DOG SMART is getting great reviews! A sampling:
“Dog Smart is a must read for all dog lovers. Jennifer Holland explains the latest cutting-edge research on dog intelligence in enjoyable, easy-to-understand prose.”—Temple Grandin, author of Animals Make Us Human and Visual Thinking
“Just when you thought it was impossible to love and admire your dog more than you already do, along comes Dog Smart. Jennifer Holland has a profound appreciation for all kinds of intelligence in all kinds of species, and her reporting here on new ways scientists are documenting the genius of our canine friends will knock your socks off.”
—Sy Montgomery, author of Soul of an Octopus
“A delightful and accessible tour of how dogs enrich our lives. Jennifer Holland’s Dog Smart brims with fresh insights from researchers, trainers, and handlers — and wonderful portraits of the myriad of ways dogs use their unique intelligence to partner with humans. If you love dogs, you’ll love this book.” — Cat Warren, author of the NYT’s bestseller What the Dog Knows: Scent, Science, and the Amazing Ways Dogs Perceive the World.
“Dog Smart shows that even people can be smart—if we pay attention to our dogs. It also shows what a wonderful and graceful writer Jennifer Holland is. Holland knows a lot about how dogs think. She knows what your dog would like you to know, about how you and your dog can live your best life together.”—Carl Safina, author of Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe
“Dogs have been bred to bond with us and be helpful and protective. But, as with most animals, we underestimate their intelligence. We stand corrected by Jennifer Holland, whose journey to dig up signs of canine cognition will delight every dog lover.”—Frans de Waal, author of Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?
“Jennifer Holland has scoured the globe, seeking out experts in all facets of canine intelligence. In Dog Smart, Holland synthesizes this wealth of cutting edge research and makes clear to all dog lovers how to nurture their own canine Einsteins.”—Gregory Berns, New York Times bestselling author of How Dogs Love Us
“Dog Smart is an important book. Filled with solid science, expert interviews, and personal stories, Jennifer Holland critically covers the landscape of dog intelligence for academics and lay readers alike. This delightful book can help us give our dogs the best lives possible.”—Marc Bekoff, author of Canine Confidential and Dogs Demystified: An A to Z Guide to All Things Canine
“If you love dogs, accessible science, and great writing, this is the book for you. It offers a truly fresh perspective on our canine friends. I loved this engaging and illuminating book.”—Patricia McConnell, animal behaviorist and best-selling author of The Other End of the Leash and For the Love of a Dog
“Yes, your dog is smart—maybe in more ways than you imagine. In this delightfully entertaining book, Jennifer Holland takes readers on a happy romp through the world of canine intelligence, the researchers and handlers who know it best, and the doggos who can track down orca whales, sniff out stage 1 lung cancer, or just wag their tails meaningfully (if we’re smart enough to catch the meaning).” —Richard Conniff, best-selling science writer and author of Ending Epidemics and others
