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 I m Just Her Father written by Elizabeth Martin and published by Publication Consultants. This book was released on 2014-01-04 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world seen from two set of eyes is enthralling, especially when those eyes belong to two people who share the same genes but different lives. For example, Mel Martin's view of Alaska in the 1960s and 1970s is certainly different from Elizabeth Martin's Alaska of this century. Besides, a father and daughter can look at the same thing and see two different universes. The book stretches from the past to the future, from Alaska to Russia, and from everyday to unique experiences. It includes poetry, short stories, opinion pieces, and even limericks. The goal is to amuse, not educate. Yet, you likely will mine some nuggets from the Martins' combined 85 years of writing experience. Many of the pieces use humor laced with sarcasm. Father and daughter occasionally berate each other, but it is all in fun and includes a lot of love. Readers of all ages will find something in this unique book that appeals to them.

Still, their friendship was a source of comfort for Leon until, a little over a year ago, Jayden started acting weird and they fell out. Leon's chances of regaining their friendship are slim to none, seeing as Jayden is a linebacker on the football team and his popularity has only increased since he stopped hanging out with Leon. While missing Jayden, Leon finds support from a new friend from a different school and his parents. He still sees Jayden every day, so it's difficult for him to deal with the heartbreak. Because even a creative artist can only endure so much pain and appreciate the source of inspiration it provides. As they approach the end of their final school year, Jayden starts to suspect Leon is romantically involved with someone, and his strange behavior intensifies. Leon becomes caught up in the whirlwind of Jayden’s emotions because, as it turns out, Jayden has a secret, too. Can Leon calm his former best friend down and discover the reason for Jayden’s odd behavior?
