Is it too much to want the dog and the guy? I've never been one to take life too seriously. I've always been kind of a whirlwind free spirit—Dawn Vasquez, the girl with the sunny disposition and the flighty personality. But then an adorable golden retriever puppy in need of rescue crossed my path and everything changed. Now, I'm wondering just what life would be like if I put some roots down and offer Gigi, my rescue pup, the promise of a real home. Unfortunately, as I'm about to hunker down for some full-time puppy love, Adam Dearborn, a hopelessly buttoned-up cowboy rancher, enters the picture and insists he needs a guide dog and it must be Gigi. I've got no choice but to fight for my puppy and convince Adam that there are plenty of other dogs who would suit him. But somehow, our little tussle turns into a serious attraction, and now I'm wondering if for the price of a kiss, I can convince this handsome, slightly stuffy cowboy to take on both the puppy and me, so we can all have the chance of a forever home.
The purpose of this book is to take you and your puppy from the dream, (before your puppy is even a reality, which means finding the right breeder, one using ENS, an enrichment program and PAT testing, to picking the right puppy), to properly training your puppy once you bring him or her home, to build that ultimate relationship, that perfect partnership that bonds you for life. There are so many optimal steps that can be taken long before you and your puppy ever step into a training class. The techniques used are applicable to large breeds, mixed breeds and rescues as well as giants. The term giants refers more to size and weight than any particular breed.
Ana Ramos loves to walk her neighbor's adorable pug, Osito. One day, at the park, Osito befriends another pug, Pancake, whose owner is a cute new boy named Calvin. When Calvin assumes that Osito belongs to Ana, she doesn't correct him. No big deal, right?
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.

But things quickly take a personal twist: all the evidence points to Trevor—Gina's boyfriend. Determined to clear his name, Gina and Daisy dig deep into the victims’ life. However, someone doesn’t want them snooping around. As the pair face increasing threats, Gina realizes the only way to uncover the truth is to embrace her past, even if it means calling in favors from her less-than-law-abiding family—and maybe bending a few rules herself. With the election on the line, Gina must find the murderer before they follow through with the threats and Gina’s voting days are over… permanently.
