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: The mysterious Japanese Akita Dog is renowned for its confidence, loyalty, strength, awareness, affection and its supreme courage to never take a backwards step regardless of the situation. They can be volatile and difficult to train, but the secret of the breed lies within the understanding that comes with that unbreakable alliance. The Japanese Akita is no ordinary breed of dog as many have found... It is said that we are rarely graced by that unique spirit that somehow finds us. If we are lucky enough to come across it, the overwhelming presence never fades. Only once in a generation does it pass through and when it finally leaves, only the heartache remains behind. This book is about the irreplaceable friendship that existed between Zeus and I. From the small adorable puppy to the dominant full grown male, never before had such an amazing animal captured my heart so completely. As all owners understand only too well, there will come that sad day where we must bid a tearful farewell to our beloved. My heart has remained broken since the day he left, but what if that is not the end? Sometimes death does not mean goodbye... Originally this book was only for my children, so that in years to come they would understand why we have a huge canvas hanging on the living room wall of Zeus. But after some careful consideration, this book was written to be so much more. Every single penny made shall be donated to the Japanese Akita Welfare Trust (UK). A non-profit organisation that works to help as many Japanese Akita's as possible, providing help and assistance, as well as housing for those that do not have a home of their own. In the memory of our Zeus, we aim to help as many other of his kind as possible. GS Bains. The foreword for this book was kindly written by Donna Haley (JAWT)
