It's definitely an inspiring and highly motivating read, anyone who has a dog in their family should consider reading Barking Up the Right Tree. Dunbar love and trust towards dogs shine through in every word and his teachings are quite clearly and easily explained. I just found the book a bit too long and sometimes repetitive (especially the last part that felt a bit forced). I didn't care much for the narrator, he has a kind of voice, which I find flat and not particularly captivating.

alles, was man braucht
(Rezension aus Deutschland vom 22. April 2024)
Diese Buch bringt einen in Sachen Hunde, Erziehung und positive reinforcement nach vorne! Gut fundiert, viele Beispiele und alles in einem lebendigen Erzählstil, dass es ein Hörvergnügen ist, wenn man seine Kenntnisse vertiefen kann. Ein Muss für alle Hundebesitzer!

As someone who found immense value in Dr. Ian Dunbar's previous work, "Before & After Getting Your Puppy," I eagerly dove into 𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗨𝗣 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗘. Faced with the challenge of reigning in Fudge's exuberance when guests arrived, I was thrilled to discover Dunbar's new insights on positive dog training. Through his guidance, I've learned fresh approaches to encouraging Fudge to remain calm without dampening her enthusiasm for meeting new people. While we're still a work in progress, I've already noticed significant improvements. Dunbar's expertise shines through in this must-read for anyone seeking positive methods to train their furry companions. Plus, the book's infused with his trademark humor, making it an enjoyable and informative read.

Barking Up The Right Tree, the science and practice of dog training by Dr. Ian Dunbar is not only entertaining and helpful plus informative but it’s also funny easy to follow and a fun activity you can do with your beloved furry companion. From barking to dog training to greeting new guests at home Dr. Dunbar explains with examples and practical reasoning how to make your dog a trained dog because a bad dog is still just a dog if we consider their activity to be bad we’re only thinking in human terms because these are dogs not people and I totally understood what the good doctor was explaining not only is he qualified to give this advice but it’s something he has a live through and talks about in the book I listen to some chapters more than once because I have four dogs and they all have different personalities and different quirks this was a great book not only for entertainment purposes but for practical purposes and I really and thoroughly enjoyed it everything about this book was awesome from the narration by Elliot Fitz Patrick to the humorous but serious advice given by Dr. Ian Dunbar. I want to thank Highbridge audio and net Galley for my free arc copy please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Narrated by Elliott fitzpatrick
Ian Dunbar is undoubtedly an exceptional dog trainer at the top of his game and have a puppy, so I thought I would give this audiobook a go. I've had dogs all my life so I really wasn't 'in need' of this.
It was informative and very helpful and would be great for someone who has never had a dog. However please change the narrator he kills the audio. There is no rise and fall in his voice and to be honest, if I was looking to purchase an audiobook and listened to this sample I would not purchase it...because of the narrator....sorry.
Thank you to Netgalley and Rb Media for giving me the chance to listen to it.
Giving 4 stars fir Dunbars work.
