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.

Book Description
A lost bunny teams up with a rascally, streetwise puppy to find her way home in this adorable friendship story set in New York City. Laura Rodriguez's pet bunny, Evie, is kind of a star: She's the mascot of the Rodriguez family's corner bodega in Harlem. Local residents stop by the small store every day just to see Evie. And even though people tend to make Evie nervous, Evie knows she's safe as long as Laura is around. But when Laura and her family go out of town for a few days, Evie suddenly finds herself in unfamiliar surroundings. Laura couldn't have meant to leave Evie with the snooty Mrs. Vanderwaal, could she? Frightened, Evie makes a run for it, determined to find her way back to the bodega - even though she has no idea where she is. All she knows is that she's in a vast green park in the center of New York City. That's when Evie meets the streetwise Bart, a stray Shiba Inu pup who is perfectly fine being on his own. He doesn't need an owner, thank you very much. Together, this unlikely duo embarks on a journey to cross Central Park, encountering countless tourists, dastardly dog catchers, and other animals. It's a long way, but if they can set aside their differences and work together, then maybe - just maybe - they can find their way home.

The Complete Guide to the Shiba Inu

Pages : 179
Book Description
Written by experienced author and dog owner Vanessa Richie, The Complete Guide to the Shiba Inu is an excellent overview of this beautiful breed and contains information, tips, and advice from some of the top Shiba breeders in the world. Don’t let their adorable appearance fool you though – they will certainly use it to their advantage if you let them. Notorious escape artists and unapologetic alpha canines, a Shiba Inu can quickly learn to dominate your home if you aren’t ready to lay down the law from day one. Be prepared to tackle the challenge of owning a Shiba Inu by reading about: Finding Your Shiba Inu Preparing your Family and House Shina Health and Wellness Bringing your Shiba Inu Home The Multipet Household Housetraining Shiba Socialization Training your Shiba Inu Nutrition Grooming — Productive Bonding Genetic Health Concerns Common to Shiba Inu The Aging Shiba Inu The Shiba Inu was made a Japanese national treasure during the 1930s, and for very good reasons. With a fox like appearance, this breed is also the most easily recognizable of the six dog breeds indigenous to Japan. These adorable little dogs are full of energy and intellect that will keep you both entertained and on your toes. When it comes to people, Shiba Inu are incredibly affectionate and charming, but don’t expect that to translate into easy training. They can be quite headstrong if you don’t take a firm and consistent approach to training them. They can also be very vocal, so you will need to plan to train a puppy to be quiet. They have an average life expectancy of between 12 and 16 years, so bringing one of these little guys into your home is likely to give you a long-term companion that can entertain you, and may demand a bit of entertainment in return. It is hard to imagine that these sturdy, affectionate dogs were once on the brink of extinction. Over the last 60 years, they have become an extremely popular breed because of the combination of easy-care, adorable appearance, and charming personality.
