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 Doberman Pinschers written by Pauline T. and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Doberman Pinschers have a reputation. They are alert watchdogs, fearless war-dogs and loyal protectors of their owners. Karl Lewis Dobermann envisioned a faithful and steadfast companion when he developed the breed in the 19th century. There is no historical record of the various breeds that helped comprise the Doberman's genetic mix, but many speculate that the Doberman is a product of breeds such as the Manchester Terrier, the greyhound, the Weimaraner, and the Rottweiler. The dogs were bred to optimize quick reaction time, speed, power, and ferocity. This has helped to influence the reputation that has followed the Doberman Pinscher over the years. The breed has been repeatedly, and often unfairly, saddled with a reputation for being vicious and untrustworthy. The reputation is largely a product of exaggeration in the media and fear-mongering. Any claims regarding the Doberman Pinscher viciousness have been mitigated by the fact that breeders have worked to eliminate extraordinary aggression from the breeding pool in recent years. The modern American Doberman Pinscher is considerably less ferocious than its ancestors. MEET THE AUTHOR Pauline T. is an experienced writer and a member of the Hyperink Team, which works hard to bring you high-quality, engaging, fun content. Happy reading! EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The Doberman Pinscher is often described as a "medium-sized" breed, but this description depends on an one's frame of reference. The standard height of the breed is roughly 28 inches. They typically weigh between 70 and a 100 pounds. The Dobermans long, lanky legs also tend to give an illusion of even greater size. Many consider Dobermans to be a rather large dog. The most unique aspects of the breeds appearance are their cropped ear and docked tail. The pointed, erect ears of the Doberman symbolise the its power and predatory skills. Pointed ears aid the canine in hunting and stalking its prey. Breeders have maintined the Dobermans natural predatory traits, while domesticating the breed and familiarizing the breed with humans. Cropping the ears involves cutting away the outer parts of the ear, and then using a technique called "posting" which causes them to stand erect. While not presently illegal in the united States, the process of cropping ears and docking tails is against the law in many countries around the world. The dog's reputation as an attack dog, combined with its look, provide a unique, distinctive appearance that seems to signal the breed's willingness and ability to protect its home and family.

Download or read book Miniature Pinschers written by Augusten S. and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Miniature Pinschers are a unique, sassy breed with broad appeal. The Miniature Pinscher has been bred over time to handle the specific demands and requirements of farmers, so these dogs have a high-energy personality that does not waver much between individuals. How did Miniature Pinschers make it into the hearts and homes of millions? We can only answer this question by looking back at their history. The Miniature Pinscher originates in Germany, and is surprisingly unrelated to Doberman Pinschers. This breed’s closest ancestors are the Italian Greyhound and the Dachshund, both of whom also have sleek, sporty frames. Miniature Pinschers were originally bred to be a hunting breed; they were not house pets, but working dogs often left to their own devices. Their characteristic cropped ears and tail, as outlined in the American Kennel Club's (AKC) guidelines, trace back to the breed's history as a hunter, as ears and tails were often cropped short to minimize the risk of damage and infection from rodent bites or errant horse hooves. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Treat your dog with a flea and tick preventative in the spring and summertime. Fleas, ticks, and other insects carry parasites and other illnesses, making them a risk as well as a nuisance. If your dog spends any time outdoors, he should have a flea and tick preventative to ward off any intruders. This keeps your home and indoor pets safe from pests as well. Your veterinarian will likely have recommendations for safe preventatives, so be sure to ask during your annual visit if you are at all uncertain. Miniature Pinschers are fairly healthy dogs, but they are prone to a few breed-specific conditions. First and foremost, Miniature Pinschers’ skinny legs are prone to injuries. If you have children, special care must be taken to ensure all play is safe. On a similar note, Miniature Pinschers are prone to kneecap displacement. Aging Miniature Pinschers are prone to hip joint degeneration, so regular veterinary examinations and possible supplementation are an excellent idea when your Miniature Pinscher reaches advanced age. Glucosamine supplementation and anti-inflammatory drugs are excellent options for arthritic pets. However, the best medicine is prevention, so do your best to provide your young Miniature Pinscher plenty of exercise to encourage the development of strong joints and bones...
