Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
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.

Pages : 122
Book Description
"I've finally got a bedroom to myself," called out Hannah, busily putting toys and books neatly on a shelf. "Me too," shouted her brother Jack excitedly from the room next door as he shoved things under the bed that he couldn't find a home for. A new house at last. What could possibly go wrong? But all is not as it seems as earlier that day ....... "Mum," said Poppy, "I've got to make a house out of a shoebox for homework and it has to be back in on Monday." "No," Sophie corrected her, "the house has to be in the shoebox, I think." "Well, I thought Mrs Hayes actually said a garden anyway," retorted Poppy, "not a house." "I know what," said mum trying to quickly diffuse the situation and keep the peace, "we'll do both - a house and a garden in a shoebox, how about that?" And so it was that, due to Poppy Wilson's daydreaming, her homework assignment quite literally took on a life of it's own. With a little bit of magic, she and her two sisters are led into a tiny world full of mysteries and mishaps.

An Outlaw and a Lady
Author: Jessi Colter
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 0718082982
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Renowned songwriter, singer, and wife of Waylon Jennings writes an intimate, enormously entertaining memoir of American music, of life with Waylon and the Outlaws, and of faith lost and found. The daughter of a Pentecostal evangelist and a race-car driver, Jessi Colter played piano and sang in church before leaving Arizona to tour with rock-n-roll pioneer Duane Eddy, whom she married. Colter became a successful recording artist, appearing on American Bandstand and befriending stars such as the Everly Brothers and Chet Atkins, while her songs were recorded by Nancy Sinatra, Dottie West, and others. Her marriage to Eddy didn’t last, however, and in 1969 she married the electrifying Waylon Jennings. Together, they made their home in Nashville which, in the 1970s, was ground zero for roots music, drawing Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Shel Silverstein, and others to the Nashville Sound. And Jessi was at the center of it all, the only woman on the landmark Wanted: The Outlaws album, therecord that launched the Outlaw Country genre and was the first country album to go platinum. She also tasted personal commercial success with the #1-single “I’m Not Lisa.” But offstage, life was a challenge, as Waylon pursued his addictions and battled his demons. Having drifted from the church as a young woman, Jessi returned to her faith and found in it a source of strength in the turmoil of living with Waylon. In the 1980s, Waylon helped launch the super group The Highwaymen with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson, and the hits kept rolling, as did Waylon’s reckless living. Amid it all, Jessi faithfully prayed for her husband until finally, at Thanksgiving 2001, Waylon found Jesus, just months before he died. An Outlaw and a Lady is a powerful story of American music, of love in the midst of heartache, and of faith that sustains.

Healing/Heeling
Author: Sassafras Lowrey
Publisher: R. R. Bowker

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
In these experimental lyric essays, Lowrey explores queerness, PTSD, anxiety, and created family. A framing of Rally Obedience and Dog Agility course maps create a textured story on the page, a hybrid form in which Lowrey recounts a spiritual-like relationship to dogs beginning in childhood, a passion for dog shows fractured in adolescence with a period of homelessness, a service dog, anxiety, and a return to dog sports. This collection transcends Lowrey's personal relationship with dogs to tell a larger story about healing, loss, trauma, survival, and of course the love (and salvation) of many good dogs.I-I ())))))))))(((((((() I-I ())))))))))(((((((() I-I ())))))))))(((((((() I-IAdvanced Praise for Healing/Heeling "Healing/Heeling is a poetic fever-dream of a small book about training, handling and living with dogs: how they make us and save us and can even almost break us. Sassafras Lowrey's book is an essay, a harsh poem, an autobiography, a fractured narrative-and an apology and ode to the dogs of hir life: the spooky, the injured, the vulnerable, the brave. But the book's heartbreak is beautifully balanced by its close companion: the transcendent joy that comes from working in close partnership with a dog. Serpentine and leap, heel and heal."Cat Warren, NYT bestselling author of What the Dog Knows: Scent, Science, and the Amazing Ways Dogs Perceive the World. "Merging the mechanics of dog handling courses with the intensely personal story of how relationships with dogs have shaped hir life, Sassafras Lowrey has created a new kind of memoir, both deeply engaging and emotionally devastating. Combining poetry and prose, ze explores the themes of queerness, family, and the deep bond between humans and dogs with raw honesty and grace."Michael Thomas Ford, 5-time Lambda Literary Award Winner"Using narrative mixed with the visuals of dog agility course maps, Sassafras guides us through a journey of obstacles, sudden turns, long tunnels, leaps of bravery, and now, eventually, so many "clean runs." So often, after inordinate trauma, it is necessary to not only leave what damaged us behind but also everything associated with it. Sassafras Lowrey shows us that it is possible to not only re-invent ourselves, but also to gather up and claim the lost pieces of what has always sustained us.-Sandra Gail Lambert, author of A Certain Loneliness"This small book has a big impact if you love dogs. It is a deep and dreamlike meditation on how hir love of dogs intertwined with and redeemed hir brutalized childhood and how dog sports like agility, obedience and scent work nurtured a damaged sense of self worth and agency."-Esther Newton, author of My Butch Career: A Memoir
