Meet Your Dog: The Game‑Changing Guide to Understanding Your Dog’s Behavior – Kim Brophey

Description

“Meet Your Dog” is Kim Brophey’s introduction to the L.E.G.S.® model-Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self-offering a holistic way to understand dog behavior. Brophey explains how each leg of the model contributes to what we see in daily life, and she organizes dogs into “family groups” based on their original jobs, helping owners grasp why herding breeds like Border Collies think and act the way they do. The book shifts the conversation from “fixing” dogs to understanding the whole picture of their lives, histories, and needs.

For owners, breeders, and professionals, “Meet Your Dog” provides a common language for discussing behavior and welfare, making it easier to design realistic, compassionate training and management plans. It is particularly helpful for families struggling with mismatches between dog and home environment, and for pros who want to educate clients about genetics, lifestyle, and unmet needs without blame. This is a core “philosophy” title that underpins how BCHQ talks about Border Collies and high‑drive dogs and we recommend this for every owner, breeder and professional dog book library.
