Book excerpt: THEME: An incredibly true story of how one adopted mini-Dachshund kept beating the odds of survival. Her long life serves as an inspiration to those who might want to give up or give in when life throws them a curve ball. An author usually writes books. However, input from Amber in dog-speak was essential, highlighted in amber ink, often refuting human speak! From head to toe this dachshund¿s antics stretched longer than her body, if such things could ever be measured. And they kept emerging as she stretched the limits of behaving, or playing endless hours of ball catching. Later this blue ball became the barometer of her health. After every survival encounter when thought to be a ¿goner,¿ she would drop the blue ball, ¿woof,¿ ¿ as if to say, ¿If I can play ball, I will live!¿ She created her own sport ¿ a dog-ball game of endless innings or outings dependent on whether indoors or outside. CHAPTERS include: From a Dog¿s View, Up for Adoption, A New Beginning, Curious Pup, Things Happen in Threes, Let¿s Play Dog-Ball!, A Mind of Her Own, Keeping Up With Amber. ORIGINAL QUIPS: ¿Dogs figure out how to behave without knowing math;¿ ¿Dogs are complex, making heads and tails of situations at the same time;¿ ¿Dogs think people know few words, repeating them over and over.¿ POEM: Devoted Dog.¿ THANKS: This story could not have evolved without the many persons, including my husband, who knowingly or unknowingly, shared in the life and antics of Amber. Thanks a ¿pawful¿ lot!
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.
