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.
Download or read book Oh Behave written by Jean Donaldson and published by Dogwise Publishing. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Donaldson brings her considerable wisdom -- and wit -- to a wide variety of topics of interest to dog trainers and enthusiasts in this book from Dogwise Publishing. In 55 essays, Jean tackles issues ranging from the nature vs nurture debate, to the role of dominance in domestic dogs, to what are the most effective ways to train dogs. You will note a number of themes that flow throughout the book. Jean is a firm believer in conducting scientific research (verifiable results) rather than forming opinions based on gut feel or taking an anthropomorphic view of dog behavior. She also admits that we are flying blind on many issues because of a lack of research and tells the reader when that is the case. She looks at problem behaviors (problems for humans at least) from the perspective that both a dog's genes and environment impact behavior, and our ability to modify such behaviors is sometimes muddled since we don't always understand how genetics and environment interact. And finally, just what is a Dog Mom (or Dad) and how did that phenomenon develop and what is its genetic usefulness, if any, to both dogs and people?! Along with her other best selling books, Oh Behave! is destined to be a classic in the literature on dog behavior.

This book teaches "Why dogs behave the was they do" so that any dog owner can easily understand. The reader will learn how different a dog's world is from a human's world... and why the dog behaviors that frustrate owners the most are instinct based, thus the problems are reversed through instinct as well. Learning how to communicate with dogs in a language they understand is the key to relieving them of the troubles they experience. Yes, many dogs are trapped in a confusing cycle... they are dogs, but when they do what their instinct tells them is "good..". they aren't praised as they would expect... but, rather punished. Not only is this theme followed throughout the book, the perfect solution to dogs and their owners' dilemmas are presented clearly. But he goes on to explain why a dog resorts to its natural instincts to begin with, and how to eliminate the problems it has caused. Step by step, he goes through specific aggressive behaviors, walks you through the exercises he recommends to correct the problems, and explains in detail how to prevent your dog from developing unwanted behaviors. You will learn the basic "Leadership & Trust" principle that applies to your everyday co-existence with dogs. You will be relieved to discover solutions to the behavior problems you have accepted in defeat... only because you felt you had no other choice. Troubled To Trained is a tool to equip you with everything you need to live in perfect harmony with your dog. You will be surprised to learn what your dog has been trying to communicate to you all along! The author doesn't let you feel guilty for not having understood the problems, or for having dealt with them in a way that only made matters worse. He is a kind and gentle writer who wants to help as many people as he can realize the communication gap between dogs and their owners... and provide solutions to the conflicting issue that have developed as result. Each chapter includes a variety of interesting scenarios, actual cases, and touching stories from personal experience. You will be encouraged at the positive attitude that is evident on every page. You will even be introduced to "Superstar Sonja" who is pictured on the front cover... you will feel the pain of her existence prior to her rescue, and then the thrill of her amazing shows in front of live audiences. If you are a dog owner, this is one book you will certainly love! Also, the author connects you with "Operation Second Chance..". the rescue program through which he works to restore the trust that dogs need to have in their humans, and works toward them being eligible to find a "Forever Home" ... Yes, All Dogs Need A Leader They Can Trust ... One last thing about the author... he has designated a portion of the proceeds from each copy of Troubled to Trained purchased to go back into the Jail Dog Program through which he makes a difference in the lives of dogs every day... in a personal way. INTRODUCTION by Shane Hawkins: "Having a TROUBLED or disobedient dog can be frustrating & nerve-racking.. especially if your dog won't listen to you. Unwanted behavior such as biting, barking, growling, begging, & jumping up on people, are natural behaviors common to dogs. So (naturally) your dog will rely upon his own instincts until he knows that you have the situation under control. Most dog owners don't understand why their dog behaves the way it does...
