The Monks of New Skete THE ART OF RAISING A PUPPY The authors of the classic guide How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend now tell you everything you need to know about the crucial first months of your puppy's life.

Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
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.

Almost Too Many Dogs
Author: Charlotte Higgins-Lee
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1460259041
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 55
Book Description
This uplifting little book tells the true life stories of a few dogs who were lucky enough to be rescued and fostered until good homes could be found. TOLD SIMPLY, MOSTLY FROM THE LOVEABLE DOGS’ POINTS OF VIEW, THIS DELIGHTFUL BOOK SPEAKS ALSO FOR CHILDREN WHO GO THROUGH THE FOSTER CARE/ADOPTION SYSTEM. Some kids and pets have a rough journey before they get a safe, loving home. Some have to be placed a couple of times before getting a good fit. We wish all of them could be born lucky and always be happy! There needs to be enough good, “forever” homes for every pet that is born. (‘FOREVER” MEANS “FOREVER,” NOT “WHILE IT IS CONVENIENT.” IT MEANS “EVEN WHEN THE PET GETS OLD OR SICK.” IT MEANS, WHEN YOU MOVE, YOU TAKE THE PET WITH YOU.) Until then, good and kind people need to provide rescue, shelter, foster, and adoption services for those who get an unlucky break. For pets, MUCH of the answer is taking the responsibility to protect them, not let them run loose, vaccinate them, and to spay or neuter them. (A neutered or spayed pet lives a longer, healthier life and does NOT create MORE pets that need homes.) Rescue, fostering and adoption are hard work. Sometimes sad. LOVE is what keeps those animal welfare people trying. Most are volunteers. They LIVE for the happy endings! A loving heart is a loving heart, no matter in what chest it beats.
