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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting a Successful Pet Hotel Business Do you love animals? Are you looking for a career that is recession-proof and always in demand? Would you like to be your own boss? You should start a pet hotel business! I have been in the pet care industry for over a decade. I first started working as a receptionist in my uncle's veterinary clinic at age 18. I had owned dogs and cats in my childhood but never thought about making it a career. When I was thinking about college, I realized that becoming a vet technician was a viable option. When my uncle retired and sold his practice, I worked with the new vet as a tech for a few years. We found ourselves with frequent requests to board animals for the short-term. Usually, these requests came from pet owners who were our usual vet clients going out of town for a few days at a time. We took these dogs and cats in for mostly weekends and holidays. I realized that in my area, the need for quality pet boarding was essential. I started my own pet boarding business out of an old daycare building. The daycare had been closed down for a while, but it had easily convertible facilities for pet boarding. The building had a nearly commercial-sized kitchen and 4 different classrooms, each with its own attached bathroom. It also had a large fenced-in yard which used to have playground equipment and big indoor community space, presumably for assemblies or indoor playtime. A building originally built to house children during the day was easily converted to a building intended to house cats and dogs. My pet boarding business was born on a shoestring budget. In this book, I will show you how to start your own pet hotel from the ground up. This book comes from my personal experiences combined with research that I conducted while starting out years ago. I will show you everything I learned about how to start a dog or cat boarding kennel business (or doggy daycare) so that you can start your business on the right foot. You will learn: What a Typical Day at a Pet Boarding Hotel is Like What Potential Profit this Business Can Bring Why Choosing the Right Location is Important What You Can Expect Your Initial Investment to Be Deciding if This is Right for You What Skills, Experience, and Knowledge is Needed What to Consider Before Starting How to Spot Industry Trends Crafting a Business Plan Advice for Naming Your Business Consider the Owner's Name Advice for Finding Financing Advice on How to Form a Legal Entity What Permits and Licenses You Will Need Insurance Concerns Construction Concerns (for New Builds or Remodels) How to Determine Costs and Pricing Advice for Amenities to Offer Designs for Cat Boarding Helpful Software for Client and Pet Management Marketing Your Business Building an Online Presence How to Use Your Website for Marketing How to Use Facebook for Marketing How to Use Retention Marketing to Keep Clients Daily Operational Considerations Hiring Your First Employee Retaining Good Employees Effective Daily Management Techniques You will learn about all this and more!
