Abstract

A new perspective on our relationship with dogs, focusing on our behavior in comparison with that of dogs. Applied animal behaviorist and dog trainer Dr. Patricia McConnell muses about why we behave the way we do around our dogs, how dogs might interpret our behavior, and how to interact with our dogs in ways that bring out the best in them. Although humans and dogs share a remarkable relationship that is unique in the animal world, we are still two entirely different species, and a lot gets lost in the translation--this is why much of what appears to be disobedience is simply miscommunication. Dr. McConnell teaches how to use your voice so that your dog is more likely to do what you ask; why "getting dominance" over your dog is a bad idea; how dogs and humans share personality types--and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than "alphas."--Publisher description

Abstract

This user-friendly and engaging book describes a six-week program to get people and dogs off on the right paw, and help prevent future dog problems. Inside the covers are clear descriptions of humane and scientifically-based methods to teach basic exercises including sit, down, come, heel, stay and no jumping up. As importantly, the book emphasizes how to make dog training fun for those at both ends of the leash, and how to ensure reliable responses while still being your dog's best friend. Also included are trouble-shooting tips for what to do when your dog hasn't read the training books and doesn't respond as expected. Equally useful as an adjunct to dog training classes or for people who are "home schooling" Family Friendly Dog Training will help you connect with your best friend in a way that will enrich your relationship for years to come.

Abstract

If you worry about leaving your dog home alone, both because you love your dog and your house, this book is for you. Most dogs can be left home alone during the day and lead happy, fulfilled doggy lives without destroying your house. Of course, some of them get into trouble at home when you're gone because there's so much fun stuff to do without you to stop them. But a small number of dogs suffer from a serious problem called Separation Anxiety, in which they panic at your departure and stay panicked until you return. This book is designed to help those whose dog really suffers from Separation Anxiety, to help you prevent it from developing, and to help you raise a dog with good house manners.
