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.

What Every Beagle Thinks About Aside from How Things Smell
Author: Leroy Delger
Publisher: Little Creatures Publishing
ISBN: 9780994449238
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
This is a novelty book and is BLANK inside. Find out inside exactly what every Beagle thinks about aside from how things smell ... With the nose of a detective, the Beagle is a hound so skilled at smelling that many are gainfully employed to sniff for security, customs and police work. The Beagle breed has had its heritage carefully maintained to strengthen this olfactory skill, so that much - but not all - of its doggy grey matter is now focused on smell identification. Though the world's most famous Beagle, the comic character Snoopy, apparently thinks about complicated life matters while lying on his kennel roof, to date, decades of research has identified real Beagles thinking about little more than the subtle difference between the waft of kibble and the aroma of a fresh bone. Now, with advances in brain technology and the skills of specialised canine interviewers, we are beginning to know much more about the Beagle's thoughts, with exciting discoveries emerging that show us Beagles are not only interested in following the stink of roadkill and the trace of another dog five thousand kilometres away. In this world-first body of research Professor Leroy Delger reveals the secrets of the Beagle brain: what keeps the Beagle emotionally satisfied aside from long-unwashed gym socks? And what does the breed think about in those three second gaps between sniffs? In this book we uncover what, besides smell, the Beagle has its mind on. Communicating with your Beagle will never be a problem again after reading the penetrating insights and pointed anecdotes in this book. Do not delay...... What Every Beagle thinks about Apart from How Things Smell is recognised as one of the most influential dog books ever written. It is a must for any owner, breeder, trainer or lover of Beagles. Look inside and discover the shockingly accurate truth.

Book Description
“Part portrait of a place, part rescue manual, part rumination of life and death, Population: 485 is a beautiful meditation on the things that matter.” — Seattle Times Welcome to New Auburn, Wisconsin (population: 485) where the local vigilante is a farmer’s wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives (both of whom work at the only gas station in town), and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Michael Perry loves this place. He grew up here, and now—after a decade away—he has returned. Unable to polka or repair his own pickup, his farm-boy hands gone soft after years of writing, Perry figures the best way to regain his credibility is to join the volunteer fire department. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, Population: 485 is a comic and sometimes heartbreaking true tale leavened with quieter meditations on an overlooked America.
