DOWNLOAD EBOOKLearn 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPuppy Socialization: What It Is and How to Do It defines and demystifies the most important thing you can do for your puppy: socialization. The authors don't just tell you what you need to know about socialization. They show you with dozens of photographs and exclusive linked videos (a live internet connection is needed to view the videos). You'll see other owners socialize their puppies under the guidance of a nationally certified dog trainer and behavior consultant. These real-life examples of socialization show you what to do when things go well and when they don't go so well. You’ll learn about: • The magical time. Did you know that there is a special time in a puppy's life when he is primed to accept new things? The authors tell you when that time is, when that socialization window starts closing, and how a little effort by an owner during that time can save heartache later. • Canine body language. Puppies and dogs are talking all the time—with their body language. Learn to tell when a puppy or dog is relaxed and happy, a bit nervous about something, or outright fearful. • Myth-busting. There's a lot of advice out there about socialization and not all of it is good. Some common myths can actually cause a puppy harm. The authors give you the most up-to-date information on puppy socialization and put some harmful myths to rest. • Socializing a puppy during COVID-19. Puppies have so much to get used to: people, environments, noises, and more. The authors provide strategies for keeping humans and puppies safe while socializing puppies, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. • What supplies are needed during socialization. The authors provide checklists of things owners need when socializing a puppy at home and away from home.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCaptured ten years ago, strolling the streets of Charlotte, NC, this spirited, adventurous Silky Terrier, continues his audacious escapades in his adopted Smokey Mountain home. Better known as the "Mayor of Carriage Park," Tasha greets every person, dog, cat, or wild animal, as a possible source of friendship, a treat, or a pat on the head. Encounters with bears, copperheads, deer, possums, and turkeys highlight his daily hikes, making you either gasp with dread, or chuckle at his daring. However, it's the accounts of his relentless theft, pillage, and escape that earns him the reputation of resident pirate. Laugh out loud, or at least smile, as you cheer on this incorrigible, delinquent dog as he outwits, brawls with, and eludes his pursuers. Like Houdini, he perfects the art of quick getaways. His destination? Any locale that offers excitement and/or nourishment. He especially relishes construction sites with the possibility of the new smells of cement, lumber, and tar, but most of all workers' desirable leftover lunches. At home, he refines his larceny skills. Leaping two feet in the air from a standstill, he gains access to any surface, seizing otherwise forbidden delicacies--hot dogs, pasta, cookies, muffins, and candy, in addition to more ill-advised goodies like butter, lemons, chocolate, fertilizer, and peach pits. This nine-pound sleuth can steal from your purse, your lap, your suitcase, your hand, or your pocket, then race away, smirking the whole time, leaving you shocked, exasperated, but eventually delighted by his brazen bravery. As a bonus, the reader will be treated to stories of Tasha’s long distant past. Imagine, a dog who sailed on the Titanic, toured with a circus, soared in Santa's sleigh, rocketed to the moon with Neil Armstrong, and even slept with Baby Jesus. Honest!

DOWNLOAD EBOOK#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
