Synopsis
The Other End of the Leashshares a revolutionary, new perspective on our relationship with dogs, focusing onourbehavior in comparison with that of dogs. An applied animal behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell looks at humans as just another interesting species, and 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 our four-legged friends. After all, although humans and dogs share a remarkable relationship that is unique in the animal world, we are still two entirely different species, each shaped by our individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (like wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. The Other End of the Leashdemonstrates how even the slightest changes in your voice and the way you stand can help your dog understand what you want. Once you start to think about your own behavior from the perspective of your dog, you'll understand why much of what appears to be doggy-disobedience is simply a case of miscommunication. Inside you will learn 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. Why "rough and tumble primate play" can lead to troubleand how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of trouble. How dogs and humans share personality typesand why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than "alphawannabees!" In her own insightful, compelling style, Patricia McConnell combines wonderful true stories about people and dogs with a new, accessible scientific perspective on how they should behave around each other. This is a book that strives to help you make the most of life with your dog, and to prevent problems that might arise in that most rewarding of relationships. From the Hardcover edition.

    I thought I was ordering a paper back, especially considering the price was only around $10. I'm not sure if they shipped a hard cover by mistake. But I am more than happy to accept it. The description wasn't clear on what it was. So this could very well have been the intended item. I was not very impressed with their customer service at all. It took them days to respond and they didn't seem to care about the delay in shipping. I might purchase again, but I would be cautious as it was delayed.

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    Great if you want to psychoanalyze your dog, know about monkeys or sheep herding.

    This is not what was looking for. I wanted a book that would show me how to get my dog to behave. This book is how to psychoanalyze a dog and I have tried many of the procedures described and my dog just ignores them. This author has her PhD in animal behavior and is very impressed with herself. She discusses monkeys, apes and Chimps and the sounds they make and how to heard sheep. I don't have any sheep or monkeys and don't plan to ever get any so it does not benefit me to read a book with 245 pages that 80% does not apply to me. She said to only give the command once and not repeat it, she doesn't say what to do if the dog ignores the command the first command so I guess you go to another command?? . I would much rather have a 25 page pamphlet with short concise procedures to have a ...

    Hard to get through

    The Author has some good points about the relationship between dogs and how their owners perceive their pets. Many of the suggestions are just not practical in real life situations. She spent way too much time telling about her pets and as a clinical text I suppose is informative but not much help for me.

    A chatty book that introduces positive reinforcement training concepts

    I liked this book, it contained good information. However, it was wordy and more chatty than I was seeking. Sophia Yin's book, How to Behave so Your Dog Behaves, provides similar guidance and summarizes some of the same studies but has more meat on the bone.
