Dogmanship, A Horseman's Ponderings

Renowned equestrian writer and horseman, Tom Moates, is back. In his 14^th book, Dogmanship, A Horseman's Ponderings, Moates turns his attention to a whole new realm-dogs!

         "I've been working with dogs for years now, including a ton of rescue dogs and studying Border Collies up close at work-truly fascinating animals with an amazing capacity for connection with people," Moates explains."As a horseman first, I tend to approach dogs in my second-nature horsemanship ways. Sometimes this approach and understanding is spot-on. Other times, well, no, not so much. I began writing about these canine experiences to clarify them in my own head. But soon that grew to a whole book's worth of thoughts and encounters to share with others."

         One of America's most respected and prolific writers on the subject of horsemanship, Moates now shares with the reader how his unique view of horsemanship applies to training dogs. The result is a thorough rumination on how getting a dog's mind centered and with a person is as key to building a positive and willing relationship with canines as it is with equines.

         Breakthroughs with troubled rescue dogs, training challenges, and conversations with celebrated horseman Harry Whitney and distinguished dogman Jack Knox and others-Dogmanship, A Horseman's Ponderings is the comprehensive chronicle on the ins and outs of building a truly willing relationship between dogs and humans.
