Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to raise the perfect puppy A revolution for dogs: Very few dog trainers have not been influenced by Dr. Ian Dunbar’s dog-friendly philosophy. In the 1970s, Dr. Ian Dunbar sparked a dramatic shift in puppy training — away from leash corrections and drill-sergeant adult dog training classes based on competitive obedience and toward a positive approach using toys, treats, and games as rewards for teaching basic manners, preventing behavior problems, and modifying temperament. Before Dr. Dunbar there were no classes for puppy training, very few family dog classes, and not much fun in dog training. His positive approach revolutionized the dog training field, especially puppy training. Raising a great dog: Now, in Before and After Getting Your Puppy, Dr. Ian Dunbar combines his two popular puppy training manuals into one indexed, value-priced hardcover dog training book. In clear steps, with helpful photos and easy-to-follow puppy training milestones, he presents a structured yet playful and humorous plan for raising a wonderful dog. Dr. Dunbar’s guide is based around six developmental milestones: Your doggy education Evaluating puppy’s progress Errorless housetraining and chewtoy-training Socialization with People Learning bite inhibition The world at large Fans of The Art of Raising a Puppy, Training the Best Dog Ever, or Zak George’s Dog Training Revolution, will love Ian Dunbar’s Before and After Getting Your Puppy.

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 Feline Philosophy written by John Gray and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Straw Dogs, famous for his provocative critiques of scientific hubris and the delusions of progress and humanism, turns his attention to cats—and what they reveal about humans' torturous relationship to the world and to themselves. The history of philosophy has been a predictably tragic or comical succession of palliatives for human disquiet. Thinkers from Spinoza to Berdyaev have pursued the perennial questions of how to be happy, how to be good, how to be loved, and how to live in a world of change and loss. But perhaps we can learn more from cats--the animal that has most captured our imagination--than from the great thinkers of the world. In Feline Philosophy, the philosopher John Gray discovers in cats a way of living that is unburdened by anxiety and self-consciousness, showing how they embody answers to the big questions of love and attachment, mortality, morality, and the Self: Montaigne's house cat, whose un-examined life may have been the one worth living; Meo, the Vietnam War survivor with an unshakable capacity for "fearless joy"; and Colette's Saha, the feline heroine of her subversive short story "The Cat", a parable about the pitfalls of human jealousy. Exploring the nature of cats, and what we can learn from it, Gray offers a profound, thought-provoking meditation on the follies of human exceptionalism and our fundamentally vulnerable and lonely condition. He charts a path toward a life without illusions and delusions, revealing how we can endure both crisis and transformation, and adapt to a changed scene, as cats have always done.

Download or read book Canine Enrichment for the Real World written by Allie Bender and published by Dogwise Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world of dogs, there is now more awareness than ever of the need to provide enrichment, especially in shelters. But what exactly is enrichment? The concept is pretty straightforward: learn what your dog’s needs are, and then structure an environment and routine that allows them to engage in behaviors they find enriching. To truly enrich your dog’s life, you should offer them opportunities to engage in natural or instinctual behaviors. Aside from the limitations we have to place on a dog in today’s modern, busy world, the biggest constraint to enriching your dog’s life is your imagination! What the experts say about Canine Enrichment: Don’t let the word “enrichment” in the title fool you into thinking that the scope of this book is too narrow or not something you will find valuable. It focuses comprehensively on meeting your dog’s needs and is written in a holistic, science-based, practical, straightforward, and easy-to-understand way. I love this book! Ken Ramirez, author of Animal Training: Successful Animal Management Through Positive Reinforcement Canine Enrichment is a deep dive into what dogs really need and how we can provide it. It’s a great book for dog lovers who want to go beyond the standard superficialities of “dogs need exercise.” Just the chapter on agency is worth the price of the book! Patricia McConnell, Ph.D., CAAB Emeritus, author of The Other End of the Leash and The Education of Will The scope of this book is ambitious and the authors deliver, navigating the subject of enrichment with depth and relevance. Caregivers will gain critically important perspectives and practical information to improve the lives of their animals. Susan G. Friedman, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Utah State University, and founder of Behavior Works, LLC

Download or read book Works Well with Others written by Ross McCammon and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilarious and indispensable guide to the weirdness of the workplace from Esquire editor and Entrepreneur etiquette columnist Ross McCammon Ten years ago, Ross McCammon made an incredible and unexpected transition from working at an in-flight magazine in suburban Dallas to landing his dream job at Esquire in New York. What followed was a period of almost debilitating anxiety and awkwardness—interspersed with minor instances of professional glory—as McCammon learned how to navigate the workplace while feeling entirely ill-equipped for achieving success in his new career. Works Well with Others is McCammon’s “relentlessly funny and soberingly insightful”* journey from impostor to authority, a story that reveals the workplace for what it is: an often absurd landscape of ego and fear guided by social rules that no one ever talks about. By mining his own experiences at the magazine, McCammon provides advice on everything from firm handshakes to small talk in elevators to dealing with jerks and underminers. Here is an inspirational new way of looking at your job, your career, and success itself; an accessible guide for those of us who are smart, talented, and ambitious but who aren’t well-“leveraged” and don’t quite feel prepared for success . . . or know what to do once we’ve made it. *Entertainment Weekly

Download or read book Canine Confidential written by Marc Bekoff and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get to know your best friend better: “Everyone who owns a dog, breeds or trains dogs, or works with dogs should read this informative book.” —Library Journal Just think about the different behaviors you see at a dog park. We have a good understanding of what it means when dogs wag their tails—but what about when they sniff and roll on a stinky spot? Why do they play tug-of-war with one dog, while showing their bellies to another? Why are some dogs shy, while others are bold? What goes on in dogs’ heads and hearts—and how much can we know and understand? Written by award-winning scientist—and lifelong dog lover—Marc Bekoff, Canine Confidential not only brilliantly opens up the world of dog behavior, but also helps us understand how we can make our dogs’ lives better. Rooted in the most up-to-date science on cognition and emotion—fields that have exploded in recent years—Canine Confidential is a wonderfully accessible treasure trove of new information and myth-busting. Peeing, we learn, isn’t always marking; grass-eating isn’t always an attempt to trigger vomiting; it’s okay to hug a dog—on their terms; and so much more. There’s still much we don’t know, but at the core of the book is the certainty that dogs do have deep emotional lives, and that as their companions and trainers we must recognize them as the unique, complex individuals they are—so we can keep them as happy and healthy as possible. “Bekoff shares his own studies and others’ research, along with real-life stories, in a winning tone.” —Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirteen-year-old LISA STEVENS lives in the town of Lindenville with her adoptive parents, JIM and RUTH STEVENS, and her cat, FLUFFY. Early on, she senses her parents? alarm and no longer speaks of the strange VOICE that seems to come from within, a Voice that has warned her away from danger for as long as she can remember. Neither does she mention the way her skin heals instantaneously, leaving absolutely no trace of an injury. Lisa believes the Voice is her guardian angel until he informs her that she must soon return to her original home, a faraway planet called Krumar. Although his cryptic message fills her with despair, Lisa tries to hide her feelings from her family. She cannot bring herself to share her dilemma with her friends, not even her birthday twin, DAVID GRAYSON, Finally, unable to bear her burden alone, Lisa confides in her aunt, JESSICA LAMBERT. Her aunt repeats the story of the custodian who insisted that Lisa was smiling when he found her on the steps of the Lindenville Orphanage. At the hospital, the doctors determine she is five days old and in perfect health. No one comes forward to claim her and the authorities try, but fail, to locate her birth parents. The Voice returns. He informs Lisa that she is a citizen of the Planet Krumar. He tells her that the people on his planet remain everlastingly youthful due to scientists having discovered a way to deactivate the aging gene. She also learns that the ability to heal herself is considered normal in his flawless world. Fearful that the Voice will soon force her to leave Earth forever, Lisa feels a need to do something worthwhile with whatever remaining time she may have on Earth. The Lindenville Nursing home gladly accepts her as a volunteer, and she soon becomes involved with the care of patients. One night while visiting Lisa, her best girlfriend, MARCY, notices that Lisa has a double row of eyelashes and no apparent pores. Although petrified, afraid her secrets are beginning to unravel, Lisa makes light of Marcy?s observation, but suspects that her friend is not fooled. When Lisa learns that her mother has made an appointment for her with DOCTOR BURKE, she becomes uneasy. She is afraid that a technician will take a picture of her brain and find it unlike other brains, then her parents will learn that she is an alien. Lisa cannot bear for them to know the truth about her. Lisa passes her physical with flying colors only to learn that Doctor Burke has suggested that Mom take her to see DOCTOR JAMISON, a psychologist. She fears this head doctor will somehow cause her to accidentally tell him about the Voice. The Voice steps up the frequency of his visits. He tells Lisa that robots have taken over all mundane tasks including the care of the children. The parents are free to amuse themselves in whatever way they choose. This information disturbs Lisa, who feels that all children need a mom and dad to care for them. His perfect world is beginning to sound flawed. MR. LESTER, the nursing home director, approves of Lisa?s idea to set up a regular pet visitor program for the patients. She, Marcy, David and their friends MIKE, CHASE, JENNIFER, GREG, AND ELENA, agree to bring their critters by at a prearranged time and put on a pet show. When Lisa visits the psychologist he administers a number of tests, then tells Mom and Dad that Lisa is super smart. Afraid her friends will find out, she makes her parents promise not to tell. The Voice returns to congratulate Lisa on her test results. He tells her that her high scores are perfectly normal, that on his planet everyone possesses extremely high intelligence. He continues his dialogue with Lisa about her homeland, and says that his people are similar in appearance to the inhabitants of Earth. He refuses to answer when she asks him whether he is a relative. Since she knows it will break their hearts, Lisa simply cannot tell her parents that she is being forced to leave them forever. Instead, she decides to write letters to her family and friends and place them in the small cedar box in her room which she calls her treasure chest. She knows that Mom will be sure to find them there. Lisa learns that the Voice has dark brown eyes like hers, but he still refuses to tell her whether they are related. She suspects that they are. After he leaves, Lisa sits at her bedroom desk and begins to write the letter to Mom and Dad in which she tells them how much she loves them and tries to explain the unexplainable. At the nursing home, MRS. LASSITER, a patient who has no family left, asks if she can become Lisa?s extra grandmother. Convinced that one cannot have too many grandmothers, Lisa happily agrees. A few days later Mrs. Lassiter presents her with a beautiful bracelet with eight dangling gold charms. She tells Lisa that it is an early birthday present. Her parents worry that it may be inappropriate for Lisa to accept such an expensive gift. But she is able to convince them that had she refused, it would have hurt her friend?s feelings. On the fourth of July David and Lisa celebrate their birthdays at a party hosted by her parents. After the guests have gone, Lisa is about to go upstairs when the doorbell rings and someone leaves a parcel on the front porch, then disappears unseen. The package contains an exquisite fiery pendant attached to a platinum chain. A powerful feeling of peace steals over Lisa when she holds the pendant in her hand. Although the accompanying card is unsigned, she is certain the gift comes from the Voice. Later that night when the Voice appears, he tells Lisa that the stone is Krumar?s most precious gem and is said to safeguard all who wear it. Lisa feels such an hypnotic attraction to the Krumarian Star that she commences to wear it night and day. Lisa goes to the nursing home early one morning to find that her friend is very ill. Mrs. Lassiter tells Lisa goodby, says not to fret, that her dead husband is waiting on the other side to take her hand. When the color begins to leave her adopted Gram?s face, Lisa frantically pushes the call button, but it is too late. Her friend?s funeral is traumatic for Lisa, who has never before experienced the loss of a loved one. The event makes her more determined than ever to store as many happy memories as possible before the Voice forces her to go away. Working from one of their favorite photographs, she begins to paint a portrait of her parents. When it is finished, it will become her last gift to them. When the Voice returns, he leaves Lisa with many unanswered questions about her alien family. Suspecting that he may be her biological father, Lisa attempts to make him understand that her heart will be broken if she has to abandon her Earth parents, and they will be shattered by her leaving. Despite her protests, the Voice persists with his plans for her future. He tells Lisa that soon they will discuss a time frame for her departure. He also says that he will reveal himself to her in person in the near future. Lisa is terrified at the thought of coming face to face with the Voice. She confesses these fears to her aunt Jessica, who is convinced that something horrible is hovering in space waiting to drag Lisa away from her family. Although Jessica feels helpless to avert the impending disaster, she must find a way to save her niece. Lisa?s mother urges her to go shopping for school clothes, but Lisa tries to delay it, since she is almost certain that she will be gone before school starts in the fall. The clothes would be a waste of money, since Lisa thinks that she will be unable t
