DOWNLOAD EBOOKTraining the Best Dog Ever, originally published in hardcover as The Love That Dog Training Program, is a book based on love and kindness. It features a program of positive reinforcement and no-fail techniques that author Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz used to train the White House dog, Bo Obama, and each of Senator Ted Kennedy’s dogs, among countless others. Training the Best Dog Ever relies on trust and treats, not choke collars; on bonding, not leash-yanking or reprimanding. The five-week training program takes only 10 to 20 minutes of practice a day and works both for puppies and for adult dogs that need to be trained out of bad habits. Illustrated with step-by-step photographs, the book covers hand-feeding; crate and potty training; and basic cues—sit, stay, come here—as well as more complex goals, such as bite inhibition and water safety. It shows how to avoid or correct typical behavior problems, including jumping, barking, and leash-pulling. Plus: how to make your dog comfortable in the world—a dog that knows how to behave in a vet’s office, is at ease around strangers, and more. In other words, the best dog ever.

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 EBOOKThis Is Not A Love Song is a memoir about mental health ... and love. It intertwines the raw, personal soul-searching of a young woman with a 'stranger-than-fiction' psychological thriller. When Amber started working in the world of magazines, she never dreamed their focus would turn so close to home, when her best friend fell for (and married) a Danish prince. In the wake of the royal wedding fairy tale she finds herself surrounded by a sea of perfumed sharks. Wondering who to trust, she falls for the charms of a romantic rogue. But when Mr Wrong unleashes a barrage of bad publicity, it looks like there's no salvaging her reputation. An unexpected lifeline is thrown when she's offered a role on reality TV show Survivor. On the island, she finds her inner hero ... and yet another dangerous romance. After her stint on TV, and using manifesting techniques, Amber secures her 'dream job' in radio. But the bubbly voice she portrays on air is just a sham in real life, as Amber sinks into depression while juggling a violent boyfriend and a toxic work culture. When a 'Gotcha' call presents a wholesome love story, Amber finds herself caught up in another fairy tale, but all is not as it seems. When the appalling truth is uncovered, Amber is forced to take a stark look at the part she's played in inviting so many smiling assassins to take centre stage in her life. She sees how the power of your thoughts, and manifesting, can bring your greatest dream ... but also your worst nightmare. This Is Not A Love Song is the stranger-than-fiction memoir of a life lived in the public eye, and learning to make peace not just with others, but yourself.

After a difficult beginning, Vera's life spins out of control as she struggles to cope with her new family-two adult humans and two well-socialized, mature dogs who view her as the uncivilized punk sister. This is a story filled with anguish, joy, pain, and humor as the complexity of Vera's character is slowly revealed. Like a phoenix, she emerges triumphant. This novel illustrates some of the potential challenges of adopting a shelter dog, and the intensely rich and rewarding experience of working through the issues. Layered with a deep understanding of dogs, the author brings the dogs' points of view to life. You will never view your canine companion in the same way again.
