Download or read book The Other End of the Leash written by Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To know a Shih Tzu is to love a Shih Tzu . . . they’re irresistible, coy, flirtatious, and passionately devoted companions. They love the good life, and though they can be shrewd (or selectively deaf, or consciously naïve), the Shih Tzu is so endearing that even “big dog” lovers find themselves swooning over this adorable breed. But is the Chinese Charmer the right match for you? Shih Tzu for Dummies answers all of your questions, like: What is a Shih Tzu really like? Can I get a Shih Tzu if I have children or other pets? How difficult is grooming? Can I do it myself or should I get a professional? How do I find a good breeder? What about a good vet? What should my Shih Tzu eat? Do small dogs really need that much training? How can I teach my Shih Tzu some basic commands? The Shih Tzu is built for one job and one job alone: to be your close personal friend for life. A dog bred for companionship must be allowed to do its job, and its job is to be with you. So, if you have the time (for grooming), dedication (for training), and room (on your lap and in your heart), the Shih Tzu is a small dog with a lot of love just waiting for a new best friend.

Download or read book Girl Code written by Cara Alwill and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women around the world have responded to Cara Alwill Leyba’s Girl Code with a resounding YES. Companies like Kate Spade and Macy’s have brought her in to teach “the Code.” Inc. magazine named Girl Code one of the “Top 9 Inspiring Books Every Female Entrepreneur Should Read” alongside Lean In, #Girlboss, and Thrive. A few years ago, I made a crazy claim in the first edition of Girl Code: that in today’s competitive marketplace, the fiercest thing a female entrepreneur can do is to support other women. Something dynamic happens when women genuinely show up for each other. When we lose the facades, cut the bullsh*t, and truly have each other’s backs. When we stop pretending everything is perfect, and show the messy, beautiful parts of ourselves and our work—which all look awfully similar. When we talk about our fears, our missteps, and our breakdowns. And most importantly, when we share our celebrations, our breakthroughs, and our solutions. I’m convinced that there’s no reason to hoard information, connections, or insight. Wisdom is meant to be shared, so let’s start sharing what we’ve learned to make each other better. Let’s start building each other up. Let’s live up to our potential and start ruling the world. Girl Code is a roadmap for female entrepreneurs, professional women, “side hustlers” (those with a day job plus a part-time small business), and anyone in between. This book won’t teach you how to build a multimillion-dollar company. It won’t teach you about systems or finance. But it will teach you how to build confidence in yourself, reconnect with your “why,” eradicate jealousy, and ultimately learn the power of connection. Because at the end of the day, that’s what life and business are all about.

Download or read book The Complete Guide to the Shih Poo written by Vanessa Richie and published by LP Media Inc. This book was released on 2021-02-19 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Guide to the Shih-Poo is a comprehensive guide that will help new owners navigate the in’s and out’s of owning this unique and wonderful cross-breed. Be prepared for everything you’ll encounter throughout your Shih-Poo’s life, from their first car ride home all the way until their senior years. We cover topics such as: Which training methods are most effective for my Shih-Poo? How do I select the right Shih-Poo breeder or rescue? What do I need to do to puppy-proof my home? Easily one of the most endearing dogs around, the Shih-Poo is a mix of the ancient, adorable Shih Tzu and the popular, friendly Toy Poodle. One look at this charming little dog, and you’ll understand why it is called a “teddy bear dog.” The combination of the two small breeds results in a friendly, loyal little pup that is just as happy doing tricks as he is cuddling up with you while you watch TV. The Complete Guide to the Shih-Poo covers all of the information essential to owning a Shih-Poo, including: The history of the Shih-Poo Shih-Poo Temperament and Personality Rescuing a Shih-Poo Preparing your home for a small dog The costs of owning a Shih-Poo House-training your Shih-Poo Shih-Poos in the multi-pet household The most effective training methods for your Shih-Poo Tips for traveling with your sweet Shih-Poo Proper grooming techniques for the Shih-Poo coat Shih-Poo-specific health and wellness information for all stages Shih-Poos definitely have plenty of energy, but they are so small, that you can easily work off that energy without having to tire yourself out. Their size does mean they aren’t a great breed to choose if you are looking for a dog to take on a long jog, and they will be happy to go hiking, camping, or just spending time exploring outside. Despite their appearance, they are a sturdy breed. However, you will still need to monitor younger children interacting with them to make sure the kids are careful, but they are a good fit for every kind of family. Odds are good that your dog is going to be an intelligent dog that could get bored easily. This means that you need to not only make sure you help your Shih-Poo gets enough exercise, but that he also gets adequate mental stimulation. As long as you are firm and consistent – and don’t allow him to get away with anything because of that adorable look – a Shih-Poo can do a lot more than just the basics. If you want a dog that can do a whole series of tricks, the Shih-Poo fits the bill. Grooming can take a bit of time because a Shih-Poo requires regular bathing and brushing. Fortunately, given its small stature, this won’t be terribly time consuming. The face and ears require additional attention to keep them clean and stain free. Although the Shih-Poo is a designer breed (meaning they are too new to have a standard), the average lifespan is between 10 and 15 years. If you want an adorable, relatively easy-going dog, the Shih-Poo could be a perfect solution for your home.
