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.

Book excerpt: Walking the Beket is a light-hearted look at life from a dog¿s point of view, the dog being an Australian Kelpie - Beket - with maybe a touch of dingo, his tail always carried proudly aloft as the Leader of the Pack - or the straightened to a lance equivalent - when facing adversaries. Beket is highly intelligent, highly strung; aquiver with nervous energy and curiosity yet also accompanied with that true Aussie laid-back attitude of "she'll be right mate!" He is placed in a human family situation - "our dog Beket" to the Boss and Missus, young daughter Rhiannon and two household cats. His domestic life involves the interplay between dogs, humans, and a very sensitive Missus, but his secret and interior life reveals an entirely different aspect of his telepathic interplay betwixt dog and dogs, dogs and elephants and the "forth dimension". The story is really a humorous commentary on humanity, politics, religion and international issues - with a good dose of Doggy commonsense. Beket and his adventures, explorations and soliloquies with the Dog Clan reflect our own society¿s confrontations; i.e. Migrants - wanted or unwanted, Detainees behind wire fences, Animal welfare - help for the underdog, Meditations - Tibetan wise reflections, Emergency Services and Fire Fighters!
