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: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of All Over but the Shoutin', the warmhearted and hilarious story of how his life was transformed by his love for a poorly behaved, half-blind stray dog. Speck is not a good boy. He is a terrible boy, a defiant, self-destructive, often malodorous boy, a grave robber and screen door moocher who spends his days playing chicken with the Fed Ex man, picking fights with thousand-pound livestock, and rolling in donkey manure, and his nights howling at the moon. He has been that way since the moment he appeared on the ridgeline behind Rick Bragg's house, a starved and half-dead creature, seventy-six pounds of wet hair and poor decisions. Speck arrived in Rick's life at a moment of looming uncertainty. A cancer diagnosis, chemo, kidney failure, and recurring pneumonia had left Rick lethargic and melancholy. Speck helped, and he is helping, still, when he is not peeing on the rose of Sharon. Written with Bragg's inimitable blend of tenderness and sorrow, humor and grit, The Speckled Beauty captures the extraordinary, sustaining devotion between two damaged creatures who need each other to heal.

Download or read book The Particulars of Peter written by Kelly Conaboy and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This might be one of the month’s, if not the year’s, sweetest books — zaniest, too.” ―The Washington Post "A hilarious addition to the dogoir canon.” ―People "Perhaps the greatest love story ever told.” ―Refinery29 "The feel-good book the world needs." —PopSugar From one of the Internet's most original voices, a hilarious journey through the odd corners of obsessive dog ownership and the author's own infatuation with her perfect dog Peter. The author met Peter in the spring of 2017. He -- calm, puppy-eyed, with the heart of a poet and the soul of, also, a poet -- came to her first as a foster. He was unable to stay with his previously assigned foster for reasons that are none of your business, but which we will tell you were related to frequent urination. The rescue needed someone free of the sort of responsibilities that would force her to regularly leave the house for either work or socializing, and a writer was the natural choice. Thus began a love story for the ages. The Particulars of Peter is a funny exploration of the joy found in loving a dog so much it makes you feel like you're going to combust, and the author's potentially codependent relationship with her own sweet dog, Peter. Readers will follow Peter and his owner to Woofstock, "the largest outdoor festival for dogs in North America," and accompany them to lessons in Canine Freestyle, a sport where dogs perform a routine set to music, creating the illusion that they're dancing with their owners. From learning about Peter's DNA, to seeing if dogs can sense the presence of ghosts, The Particulars of Peter will give readers a smart, entertaining respite from the harsh world of humans into the funny little world of dogs. Readers will accompany this lovable duo through exciting trips, lessons, quiet moments of connection, and probably a failure or two. By fusing memoir and infotainment, The Particulars of Peter promises to refresh the perennially popular dog lit category in a scrumptiously bighearted barnstormer of a book.

There are heartwarming correlations between God and dogs, and Christian dog owners will relate.

Download or read book Rescuing an Angel written by Peggy Lovelock and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Sims needed someone to give him a second chance. This young Shih Tzu was headed for the pound and possible euthanizing when our paths crossed. I had just started my personal dog training business when we met. He was brought to me for obedience instruction, but after just a few lessons, he was abandoned on my doorstep. My book, Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal, is the story of our twelve-year relationship in which the roles of teacher and student constantly shifted. It shows the strong partnership we built with relationship-based dog training methods, competitive obedience, therapy dog work, and my education into canine physical issues, both obvious ones and very elusive ones. This story is a blend of dog training instruction, human–dog camaraderie, mystery, and humor and ends with the ultimate act of selfless love. Each chapter has information that is helpful to a dog owner, and it continues the thread of Mr. Sims's story. "Everyone has a story to tell about their pet, but Peg Lovelock's Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal is extraordinary. Peg brought me into the world of a handsome Shih Tzu, Mr. Sims. Mr. Sims brought me into the world of a compassionate dog trainer, Peg Lovelock. This is a beautiful story about the relationship between Peg and Mr. Sims, who she rescued and gave unconditional love and respect. As Peg trained Mr. Sims to become an outstanding competitor, and he won all kinds of titles and awards, Mr. Sims gave his love right back to Peg in appreciation for how much he was loved and how well he was cared for. I loved the way Peg started each chapter with a message and the way that she caught my attention with the phrase, peeling the onion. I loved the uncanny wit of this author. Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal will warm your heart as you feel the mutual bond between Peg and her dog, Mr. Sims, and the love and respect they had for each other. I loved reading Peg's book, Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal." Linda Caputo
