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.

Book excerpt: A cloud passed over the sun, casting a broad, dark shadow across the field. As the sun reappeared, he was just hanging there now, dangling off the tree stand. She stood up, stretched, walked over, mounted her horse, left the cover at the edge of the woods, and trotted across the field toward the hanging man. “Charles.” Again, a little louder. “Charles.” Hearing a familiar voice, he opened his eyes, startled at seeing her face so close. She sat on her horse about three feet away. He tried to reach out, but his arms were numb and hung limp at his sides, barely moving. He could only watch as she turned her horse around and walked over to a tree. She dismounted and walked back to where he was hanging and picked up his rifle off the ground. “Get me down,” he ordered and realized how weak his voice sounded. He cleared his throat and loudly demanded, “Get me down now!” repeating the statement, trying to sound as if he had some power in the situation. He looked down at her. She was smiling at him. He tried to change his tone, pleading, “Please, please help me.” Gritting his teeth, he forced a smile, but his rage got the better of him. “When I get down you’re dead! You’re dead!” The threat was an echo she’d heard so many times already. “Yeah,” she continued to smile, “I know.” “I am going to kill you!” he vowed again. “Not today.” She pulled the trigger.
