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.

Download or read book Sadie written by Robert (Bampa) Baker and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The journey for this book started with our Great Grandkids. When Sadie came to us from the breeder, she was 9 weeks old and a bundle of energy. We raised puppy’s before, but we were not the main characters in our puppy’s lives. Our children were. Because of this technical age we live in, we started making cell phone videos about raising a puppy at our age. Before long, our great grandkids started wanting to see more videos and that started their interest in “Sadie”. When we looked at those videos, we noticed Sadie was telling us her story about growing up a “Baker”. We decided to put pen to paper and write down what she was telling us. The result is this book.

Download or read book We Were Always Here written by Ricardo Chavira and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ricardo Chavira was in Nicaragua on assignment for Time magazine in 1984, embedded with a group of Contra rebels, when the situation turned dire. A larger Sandinista patrol was in pursuit and he was reaching the end of his endurance after a fifteen-hour forced march. He had been with the rebels for six days and his feet were covered in blisters. On top of that, they were subsisting on minimal rations: a few mouthfuls of red beans and a couple of tortillas each day. Naively believing he could let the rebels go on without him, Chavira was shaken when told the Sandinistas would probably kill him. “I was no longer a neutral participant, but the quarry in a brutal war.” A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Ricardo Chavira writes in his memoir about the challenges growing up in a marginalized community in Pacoima, California, where he attended a high school notorious for gang violence and inadequate teaching. Against all the odds, he managed to reject gang affiliation, avoid serious crimes, evade the Vietnam War draft and earn undergraduate and graduate degrees. He became passionate about journalism because it gave him the chance to report about the lives of Latinos that mainstream American media either ignored or misrepresented. Chavira was one of the few Latinos working in the most elite newsrooms in the United States, covering natural disasters, including the 8.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated Mexico City in 1985, and interviewing the likes of Mexican presidents Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Vicente Fox and Panamanian dictator, Manuel Noriega. Interspersing his journalistic adventures with his family’s history as Americans, Chavira examines his dual identities—Mexican and American—and their contribution to his success in navigating and reporting stories around the world.
