Unleashed - Jaime Goodrich Cover Art

Unleashed

Unleashed How to Bring Out the Best in Your Dog by Jaime Goodrich

Our dogs are no longer just pets—they’re family. This means, according to celebrity dog trainer Jaime Goodrich, that the way we train them needs to change. The role dogs have played in our lives has changed. No longer are they solely workers, bred to herd for or hunt with us. So it’s time to change how we raise them too. In Unleashed , celebrity dog trainer Jaime Goodrich shows you how to understand your dog, provide support, and a create secure, lasting bond with one of the best relationships you could have in your life. Unleashed argues that behavior problems worsen, not improve, with heavy discipline. If you instead address the source of a dog’s anxiety or fear, problematic behaviors will naturally and permanently disappear. Goodrich provides techniques rooted in kindness and understanding rather than punishment and dominance. She addresses attachment in dogs—what normal attachment looks like and what it looks like when things go south. She teaches you how to identify your dog’s particular coping strategy and how to identify stress signals your dog is giving you. You’ll be able to recognize your dog’s particular triggers and desires, and, most importantly, be able to figure out how to work within your dog’s particular neurological level to make substantial change in their behaviors. Unleashed teaches you how to: -Curb your dog’s reactivity toward humans and other dogs -Walk your dog calmly and politely on leash -Address hyper, shy, or aggressive behavior -Teach essential house obedience skills for a balanced home life -Eliminate destructive behavior like barking, chewing, and digging -Treat phobias, separation anxiety, and fearful reactions -Implement safety training for stress-free outings Most importantly, Unleashed will give you the tools you need to fix any behavior problem, confidently and humanely. The result is that you will be able to nurture a more balanced, happy, and connected dog.

Project 333

Project 333 The Minimalist Fashion Challenge That Proves Less Really is So Much More by Courtney Carver

Wear just 33 items for 3 months and get back all the JOY you were missing while you were worrying what to wear. In Project 333 , minimalist expert and author of Soulful Simplicity Courtney Carver takes a new approach to living simply--starting with your wardrobe. Project 333 promises that not only can you survive with just 33 items in your closet for 3 months, but you'll thrive just like the thousands of woman who have taken on the challenge and never looked back. Let the de-cluttering begin! Ever ask yourself how many of the items in your closet you actually wear? In search of a way to pare down on her expensive shopping habit, consistent lack of satisfaction with her purchases, and ever-growing closet, Carver created Project 333. In this book, she guides readers through their closets item-by-item, sifting through all the emotional baggage associated with those oh-so strappy high-heel sandals that cost a fortune but destroy your feet every time you walk more than a few steps to that extensive collection of never-worn little black dresses, to locate the items that actually look and feel like you . As Carver reveals in this book, once we finally release ourselves from the cyclical nature of consumerism and focus less on our shoes and more on our self-care, we not only look great we feel great-- and we can see a clear path to make other important changes in our lives that reach far beyond our closets. With tips, solutions, and a closet-full of inspiration, this life-changing minimalist manual shows readers that we are so much more than what we wear, and that who we are and what we have is so much more than enough.

This fascinating visual account of firearms shows everything from the earliest cannons to modern weapons of war.

It details the use of the firearms, not just in the military but for sport, hunting, and law enforcement. This comprehensive volume traces the history of firearms, highlighting "turning points" such as the rifle with its parallel spiraled groves that could impart a spin to bullets making them fly straighter. It also showcases iconic firearms such as the Walther PPK self-loading pistol popularised in James Bond films. With information on the great gunsmiths including Beretta and Kalashnikov and a detailed guide to how guns work, Firearms: An Illustrated History is an essential purchase for everyone interested in guns and military history.

Homer - Gwen Cooper Cover Art

Homer

Homer The Ninth Life of a Blind Wonder Cat by Gwen Cooper

The odds had always been stacked against Homer, the blind kitten nobody wanted. But destiny took a hand the day he met Gwen Cooper, and with the publication twelve years later of the international bestseller "Homer’s Odyssey," Homer went from beloved house cat to world-wide star. He became the scourge and darling of the reporters, photographers, videographers, bloggers, and radio hosts who clamored to meet him—dragging his hapless human behind him as he greeted fame with his usual joie de vivre and occasional “catitude.” He became a spokes-cat for the cause of special-needs animals everywhere, and eventually the wise older mentor to the new special-needs kitten who would enter his and Gwen’s lives. Most importantly, Homer taught those who loved him best how to live and die with courage and joy—and left behind a rescue community of “Homer’s Heroes” that continues to save countless lives in his name.  By turns humorous and tender, this beautifully written, 115-page sequel concludes the adventures of Homer the Blind Wonder Cat—the fearless feline who proved that love isn’t something you see with your eyes, that even the smallest of creatures can make a big difference, and that true love lives forever.

The Tree Identification Book

The Tree Identification Book by George W. Symonds

The classic easy-reference field guide with more than 1500 photographs: "An almost foolproof practical reference book." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   This useful book for botanists, horticulturists, and nature lovers is made up of two parts: Pictorial Keys and Master Pages. The Keys are designed for easy visual comparison of details that look alike, narrowing the identification of a tree to one of a small group—the family or genus. Then, in the Master Pages, the species of the tree is determined, with similar details placed together to highlight differences within the family group, thus eliminating all other possibilities. All of the more than 1500 photographs were made specifically for use in this book and were taken either in the field or of carefully collected specimens. Where possible, details such as leaves, fruit, etc., appear in actual size, or in the same scale.

The Forever Dog Surprising New Science to Help Your Canine Companion Live Younger, Healthier, and Longer by Rodney Habib & Karen Shaw Becker

#1 New York Times Bestseller In this pathbreaking guide, two of the world’s most popular and trusted pet care advocates reveal new science to teach us how to delay aging and improve canine longevity, providing a long, happy, healthy life for our canine companions. Like their human counterparts, dogs have been getting sicker and dying prematurely over the past few decades. Why? Scientists are beginning to understand that the chronic diseases afflicting humans—cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders—also beset canines. As a result, our beloved companions are vexed with preventable health problems throughout much of their lives and suffer shorter life spans. Because our pets can’t make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it’s up to pet parents to make smart, science-backed choices for lasting vitality and health. The Forever Dog gives us the practical, proven tools to protect our loyal four-legged companions. Rodney Habib and Karen Becker, DVM, globetrotted (pre-pandemic) to galvanize the best wisdom from top geneticists, microbiologists, and longevity researchers; they also interviewed people whose dogs have lived into their 20s and even 30s. The result is this unprecedented and comprehensive guide, filled with surprising information, invaluable advice, and inspiring stories about dogs and the people who love them. The Forever Dog prescriptive plan for optimal dog health focuses on diet and nutrition, movement, environmental exposures, and stress reduction, and can be tailored to the genetic predisposition of particular breeds or mixes. The authors discuss various types of food—including what the commercial manufacturers don’t want us to know—and offer recipes, easy solutions, and tips for making sure our dogs obtain the nutrients they need. Habib and Dr. Becker also explore how external factors we often don’t think about can greatly affect a dog’s overall health and wellbeing, from everyday insults to the body and its physiology, to the role our own lifestyles and our vets’ choices play. Indeed, the health equation works both ways and can travel “up the leash.” Medical breakthroughs have expanded our choices for canine health—if you know what they are. This definitive dog-care guide empowers us with the knowledge we need to make wise choices, and to keep our dogs healthy and happy for years to come. Inside this definitive dog care guide, you’ll find the tools and knowledge to extend your dog’s healthspan: A New Approach to Dog Nutrition: Learn what commercial pet food manufacturers don’t want you to know and discover simple recipes and tips to ensure your dog gets the vital nutrients they need for a long life.

How To Speak Dog - Stanley Coren Cover Art

How To Speak Dog

How To Speak Dog Mastering the Art of Dog-Human Communication by Stanley Coren

“A must read for all dog owners.” — The Washington Post “The best key to what dogs are thinking.” — The Seattle Times How to Speak Dog is one of the few books today that show us what dogs are trying to tell us, not just how we can control them. Parlez-vous Doggish? At long last, dogs will know just how smart their owners can be. By unlocking the secrets of the hidden language of dogs, psychologist Stanley Coren allows us into the doggy dialogue, or “Doggish,” and makes effective communication a reality. Drawing on substantial research in animal behavior, evolutionary biology, and years of personal experience, Coren demonstrates that the average house dog can understand language at about the level of a two-year-old human. While actual conversation of the sort Lassie seemed capable of in Hollywood mythmaking remains forever out of reach, Coren shows us that a great deal of real communication is possible beyond the giving and obeying of commands. How to Speak Dog not only provides the sounds, words, actions, and movements with which we can effectively communicate with our dogs, but also deciphers the signs that our dogs give to us. With easy-to-follow tips on how humans can mimic the language dogs use to talk with one another, original drawings illustrating the subtleties of their body language, and a handy visual glossary and “Doggish” phrasebook, How to Speak Dog gives dog lovers the skills they need to improve their relationships with their pets.

The Other End of the Leash

The Other End of the Leash Why We Do What We Do Around Dogs by Patricia McConnell, Ph.D.,

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.
