Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Professional dog trainer Kate Perry has seen it all: the secret pee-ers, the delivery-man harassers, the skittish wallflowers, the zippy puppy, the pulling sled dog, the barking door dashers, and the withdrawing senior. If any of these remind you of your dog-or you fear your pup is on their way to developing a behavioral challenge-let Kate help you create a balanced training program that will yield positive results for you and your pooch. Kate’s layered methodology includes an easy-to-take Canine Drive Survey, the same one she provides to her clients, enabling you to identify your dog’s particular set of drives, behavioral traits, and needs. Next, she develops a personalized training program for you and your pooch that blends together your lifestyle and household setup and your dog’s unique “canine-ality” to create an atmosphere of mutual trust, respect, and understanding. Kate’s goal is to turn you into the best trainer for your dog, using simple commands with step-by-step instructions that cover all the essential training categories: housetraining, socialization, leash walking, exercise, and dealing with anxiety. Each chapter contains personal stories and photos pulled from Kate’s client files including Professor Sophie, Kate’s well-trained pug, who also offers her own brand of authentic nose-nudging advice and tips and has helped teach over 2000 pups in the group classes. Whether you’re looking for advice for your current canine companion or welcoming a new puppy into your home, Training for Both Ends of the Leash will help you create a happy and healthy relationship that will last a lifetime.

Two huge trends are colliding, and We Can't Stay Together for the Dogs aims to soften the blow: The divorce rate continues to hover at around 50 percent, and marriages ending within the first five years often have dogs, not children; and statistics show that dog ownership is at around 43 percent nationwide. This breakup guide for dogs and their humans explains how to choose dog-friendly solutions and make compromises during a split. By integrating training tips, success stories, expert opinions, checklists, and a bit of humor, this self-help guide shows that breakups can be dog-friendly. As the first book on the subject of dogs and splitting up, it features simple step-by-step directions and offers a dog-centric point of view. Figuring out who gets the dog and whether to have joint custody, split the pack, have sole custody with visitation, or place the dog with a new family is only one of the many decisions couples face. Sections on deceptively simple subjects like housing, finances, training, food, and grooming make the transition into the new lifestyle much smoother. Quizzes and checklists are provided to help determine the need for additional assistance, and the book also offers resources to find professional help. Whether you are going through a divorce, ending a long-term relationship, or splitting with a partner, We Can't Stay Together for the Dogs can help you. Dogs are family members who have no say in the breakup process, so dedicated pet parents need to learn to be their dogs' own advocate and respect the unique human-canine bond.

It happens all the time. Just when MaxÕs owner thinks she has him figured out, he exhibits a bewildering fear of the neighborÕs skateboard. Or, despite endless corrections, Bailey still refuses to understand that she doesnÕt belong on the leather armchair. Then there are the dogs that almost always behave appropriately and predictably but can still display a few surprise reactions in situations that disturb their routines. Houseguests might be ruining BusterÕs sense of order Ñ taking over his favorite room and distracting his humans from important things like fetch and dinner. And that dog park near SadieÕs new house is terrific, but she might be having a tough time understanding the rules of etiquette. To all these situations and a hundred more, dog expert Arden Moore provides answers that clearly explain canine actions and reactions, and then helps readers with suggestions for modifying unacceptable behavior. For every canine misdeed, there is a human counter-response to fix the problem. Read about both sides of the story in these friendly questions and answers, taken from real-life situations with real dogs. There is hardly a behavior that will not have dog lovers nodding their heads in recognition. The Dog Behavior Answer Book will solve the mysteries of canine shoe theft, food guarding, and grass eating for puzzled humans everywhere.
