Pack of Two - Caroline Knapp Cover Art

Pack of Two

Pack of Two The Intricate Bond Between People and Dogs by Caroline Knapp

At the age of 36, Caroline Knapp, author of the acclaimed bestseller Drinking:A Love Story , found herself confronted with a monumental task: redefining her world.  She had faced the loss of both her parents, given up a twenty-year relationship with alcohol, and, as she writes, "I was wandering around in a haze of uncertainty, blinking up at the biggest questions: Who am I without parents and without alcohol? How to form attachments, and where to find comfort, in the face of such daunting vulnerability?"  An answer materialized in the most unlikely form: that of a dog.  Eighteen months to the day after she quit drinking, Knapp stumbled upon an eight-week-old puppy at a local animal shelter, took her home, and named her Lucille.  Now two years old, Lucille has become a central force in Knapp's life: "In her," she writes,  "I have found solace, joy, a bridge to the world." Caroline Knapp has been celebrated as much for her fresh insight into emotional and psychological issues as she has been for her gifts as a writer.  In Pack of Two, she brings the same perception and talent to bear on the rich, complicated terrain of human-animal relationships.  In addition to mining her own experience with Lucille, Knapp speaks to a wide variety of dog people--from animal behaviorists and psychologists to other owners whose dogs have deeply affected their lives--about this emotionally complex, sometimes daunting, often profoundly healing alliance.  Throughout, she explores the shift in canine roles from working partners to intimate companions and looks, too, at how this new kinship, this wordless bond, becomes a template for what we most desire ourselves.

A Dog Walks Into a Nursing Home - Sue Halpern Cover Art

A Dog Walks Into a Nursing Home

A Dog Walks Into a Nursing Home Lessons in the Good Life from an Unlikely Teacher by Sue Halpern

A layabout mutt turned therapy dog leads her owner to a new understanding of the good life. At loose ends with her daughter leaving home and her husband on the road, Sue Halpern decided to give herself and Pransky, her under-occupied Labradoodle, a new leash—er, lease—on life by getting the two of them certified as a therapy dog team. Smart, spirited, and instinctively compassionate, Pransky turned out to be not only a terrific therapist but an unerring moral compass. In the unlikely sounding arena of a public nursing home, she led her teammate into a series of encounters with the residents that revealed depths of warmth, humor, and insight Halpern hadn’t expected. And little by little, their adventures expanded and illuminated Halpern’s sense of what virtue is and does—how acts of kindness transform the giver as well as the given-to. Funny, moving, and profound, A Dog Walks into a Nursing Home is the story of how one faithful, charitable, loving, and sometimes prudent mutt—showing great hope, fortitude, and restraint along the way (the occasional begged or stolen treat notwithstanding)—taught a well-meaning woman the true nature and pleasures of the good life.

Dogland - Tommy Tomlinson Cover Art

Dogland

Dogland Passion, Glory, and Lots of Slobber at the Westminster Dog Show by Tommy Tomlinson

“Delightful.” — Town & Country • “Extraordinary...Tomlinson’s book is a gem.” — S tar Tribune (Minneapolis) • “Moving...Really broke me.” — The Washington Post Pulitzer Prize finalist Tommy Tomlinson explores the bond between dogs and their people in this irresistibly appealing , inside account of the Westminster Dog Show that follows one dog on his quest to become a champion. Tommy Tomlinson was watching a dog show on television a few years ago when he had a sudden thought: Are those dogs happy? How about pet dogs—are they happy? Those questions sparked a quest to venture inside the dog-show world, in search of a deeper understanding of the longtime relationship between dogs and humans, and here, in Dogland he shares his surprising, entertaining, and moving adventures. Spending three years on the road, Tomlinson goes behind the scenes at more than one hundred competitions across the country, from Midwestern fairgrounds to Madison Square Garden. Along the way he is licked, sniffed, and rubbed up against by dogs of nearly every size, shape, and breed. Like a real-life version of the classic mockumentary Best in Show , Dogland follows one champion show dog—a Samoyed named Striker—as well as his handler, Laura King, and his devoted entourage of breeders and owners as he competes in the 2022 Westminster Dog Show. Striker’s whole career has been leading up to this moment. As Tomlinson writes, picking a top show dog is like drafting an NFL quarterback when they’re still in elementary school. Now Striker has made it to the Super Bowl. Tomlinson takes us on the long road to glory, bringing the dog-show circuit to life as teams scramble from town to town in search of championship ribbons. (Striker and his crew travel in a custom-built RV named after Betty White.) Tomlinson’s limitless curiosity about people and dogs reaches far beyond the show tents and into the ordinary lives of dogs. We hear from experts who have discovered new insights into how dogs and humans formed their bond—and how that bond has changed over the centuries. We discover the fascinating origins of different dog breeds, learn about the elaborate breed standards that determine an ideal show dog, and consider the health issues that can arise in purebred dogs. We also meet dog lovers who applaud every dog, regardless of breed, simply for being themselves, such as WeRateDogs, the social media phenomenon with millions of followers, all for posts celebrating the day-to-day goofiness in most dog owners’ lives. “A big ol’ slobbering smooch of optimism, laughter, and happiness” (Joe Posnanski) Dogland takes us on a rollicking tour through the rituals, tricks, and wonders of the dog-show world—and reveals what matters most for the happiness of dogs and dog lovers everywhere.

Dog Days - Jon Katz Cover Art

Dog Days

Dog Days Dispatches from Bedlam Farm by Jon Katz

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Jon Katz's  Going Home . In Dog Days , Jon Katz, the squire of Bedlam Farm, allows us to live our dreams of leaving the city for the country, and shares the unpredictable adventure of farm life. The border collies, the sheep, the chickens, the cat, the ram, and one surprisingly sociable steer named Elvis all contribute to the hum (and occasional roar) of Bedlam. On timeless summer days and in punishing winter storms, Katz continues his meditation on what animals can selflessly teach us–and what we in turn owe to them. With good neighbors, a beautiful landscape, and tales of true love thrown in, Dog Days gives us not only marvelous animal stories but a rich portrait of the harmonious world that is Bedlam Farm. Praise for Dog Days : “Anyone who has ever loved an animal, who owns a farm or even dreams of it, will read Dog Days with appreciation and a cathartic lump in his or her throat.” –The Washington Post “Katz proves himself a Thoreau for modern times as he ponders the relationships between man and animals, humanity and nature, and the particularly smelly qualities of manure.” –Fort Worth Star-Telegram “Katz constructs the perfect blend between self-revelation and his subtle brand of humor.” –The Star-Ledger “City-dweller-turned-farmer Katz . . . returns with further adventures from his animal-filled upstate New York sheep farm. Charming.” –People “The perfect summer book . . . You will not be disappointed.” –The Philadelphia Inquirer “A new twist on the American dream.” –The Christian Science Monitor “Thoroughly enchanting.” –The Dallas Morning News

Schnoodles were developed in the 1980s from Poodles and Schnauzers, both intelligent, spunky breeds. While Poodles are generally friendly, outgoing dogs, Schnauzers tend to be a little more wary and protective. Schnoodles tend to inherit a little of both attitudes, with most being both friendly and protective. Each parent breed is intelligent, active, and curious canines, so it is essential that they get enough physical and mental exercise to keep them busy and out of trouble. Poodle and Schnauzer breeds both come in multiple sizes, each with their own personality quirks. Their offspring also come in a variety of sizes—from toy-sized to large—with the associated variation in temperament. Whether your particular Schnoodle inherits the curly coat of the Poodle or the straight, wiry coat of the Schnauzer, this dog is a good choice for allergy sufferers as both parent breeds are low-dander dogs. In this comprehensive manual, you will gain all the knowledge you need to guide your active Schnoodle from free-spirited pup to clever, well-mannered adult dog.

He was supposed to be a companion. He became a test of everything she thought she knew about resilience. When Sarah C. Benoit brought home Remington-a high-energy Doberman Pinscher struggling with chronic health issues and behavioral challenges-she didn't just gain a dog. She stepped into one of the most demanding and humbling experiences of her life. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor, Sarah understood emotional regulation, stress, and resilience. But living it-day after day, in the face of frustration, exhaustion, and unpredictability-was something else entirely. Remington wasn't an easy puppy. And Sarah didn't always respond the way she thought she would. That's where the real lessons began. In Life Lessons of a Doberman Pinscher, Sarah shares the raw, honest reality of what it looks like to be stretched beyond your limits-and what those moments can reveal about patience, commitment, and the human capacity to grow. This book does not offer perfect answers. Instead, it offers something far more valuable: A deeply relatable look at what it feels like when life doesn't go as plannedHonest reflections on stress, emotional reactions, and self-awarenessThe quiet, often uncomfortable process of learning through experienceA powerful reminder that growth rarely looks the way we expect Blending real-life experience with clinical insight, this story invites readers to see their own challenges differently-not as failures, but as opportunities to understand themselves more fully. Whether you're a dog lover, navigating a difficult season, or simply trying to make sense of your own reactions under pressure, this book will meet you there. Because sometimes the most meaningful lessons don't come from getting it right... They come from living through what's hard.

Mornings with Barney - Dick Wolfsie Cover Art

Mornings with Barney

Mornings with Barney The True Story of an Extraordinary Beagle by Dick Wolfsie

“I enrolled Barney in obedience school. If I had known how being ‘bad’ would be part of his charm and would add to his success on camera, I might have given this more thought. I was impressed with the legendary school’s sales pitch, including their money-back guarantee. But when I said my dog was a beagle, there was dead silence on her end of the phone . . . then a good-natured laugh. ‘I was just kidding about the guarantee.’” Television reporter Dick Wolfsie was walking out his front door on the way to the studio one wintry morning when he found a shivering beagle pup on his front steps. Dick placed the stray inside the house and was off to work. When he returned four hours later, his wife and young son were cleaning up what remained of the shredded couch, the living room curtains, and his wife’s favorite high heels. The family would soon demand that Dick either take the dog to work with him each day or find the troublemaker a minimum security facility. So, off to the station they went. And ultimately Barney nosed his way in front of the camera with Dick. Soon the dynamic duo would make TV history. For ten years—more than 2,500 morning news shows—fans watched the renegade pooch chew, howl, and dig his way through every one of Dick’s reports. But he also burrowed his way into everybody’s heart, becoming a beloved media star. Mornings with Barney is a hoot from start to finish, but more than this, it is the moving story of a mischievous pooch who touched and brightened the lives of an entire community.

Dog Show Poems by Billy Collins & Pamela Sztybel

ONE OF OPRAH’S FAVORITE THINGS! NATIONAL BESTSELLER New York Times bestselling author and former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins captures the essence and mystery of dogs in this special collection of poems inspired by our beloved companions, with striking watercolor canine portraits by Pamela Sztybel. As Oprah says on Oprah Daily online: “This collection of 25 poems by Billy Collins is a sweet gift for dog lovers. ‘A Dog on His Master’ is a favorite of mine.” “Everyone who has a dog—or still grieves for one—will find themselves in this collection of witty, sweet and poignant poems by former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins . . [an] eminently giftable collection.”— The Washington Post “There are lots of books about man’s best friend, but none as sweet or as beautiful as Dog Show .”— Air Mail “The pleasures here are many for Collins fans, dog lovers, and any reader looking for clever, poignant, and spirit-lifting poems accompanied by deft, lively, and affectionate paintings.” —Booklist Billy Collins’s Dog Show celebrates the joy of our canine best friends, honoring the love we feel for the animals who play such vital roles in our lives. In twenty-five poems, Collins distills the many ways dogs warm our hearts, from the happiness we experience as we watch a dog run unencumbered by our burdens, to the silliness of cradling a dog in our arms as we step on the scale together. Turning his inimitable eye and ear to the complexities of dog behavior, Collins ponders all that these winning creatures give us and what we learn from them about ourselves. For more than four decades Collins has delighted readers with his insight, wit, and clear poetic voice. In Dog Show, “America’s favorite poet” ( The Wall Street Journal ) illuminates America’s favorite pet (sorry, cat lovers). Accompanied by Pamela Sztybel’s watercolors, which effortlessly depict a dog’s humble grace, Dog Show reveals the profound role these majestic animals play in our lives and the meaning they give us.

A Horse's Life - Dr. Stephen Peters, Mark Rashid & Crissi McDonald Cover Art

A Horse's Life

A Horse's Life by Dr. Stephen Peters, Mark Rashid & Crissi McDonald

What if the key to a calmer, more responsive horse wasn't a new training method, but a better understanding of how the horse's brain actually works? In A Horse's Life: The Neuroscience of Equine Welfare, neuroscientist Dr. Stephen Peters, internationally recognized horseman Mark Rashid, and clinician Crissi McDonald bring together brain science and decades of hands-on horse experience to explain what is actually driving your horse's behavior and what you can do about it. This is not another training manual. It is the first book to combine real horse case studies with plain-language clinical neuroscience written for everyday horse people, not academics. Most horse behavior problems are not attitude problems. They are nervous system problems. When a horse is spooky, hard to catch, resistant under saddle, or just not the horse you hoped for, there is a neurological reason behind it. This book explains what that reason is and how to address it at the source. Dr. Peters brings decades of clinical neuroscience and equine brain research. Mark Rashid brings over forty years of working with horses that other trainers gave up on. Crissi McDonald brings a lifetime of horsemanship, bodywork, and the rare ability to make complex ideas feel immediately usable. Together they cover what no single author could cover alone. Here is what you will find inside: •Why horses develop reactive, resistant, or shut-down behavior and the specific neurological mechanisms driving it •How pain, poor environment, restricted movement, and social stress quietly reshape your horse's baseline temperament over time •How the horse's nervous system learns, builds habits, and responds to training pressure in ways most handlers never consider •What the Five Domains of equine welfare actually mean in daily management and why getting them right changes everything •How nutrition and forage patterns directly affect emotional stability and behavioral consistency in horses •How the horse's brain responds differently to low-conflict training versus pressure-based methods and why it matters for long-term results •What horse welfare actually means from a neuroscience perspective, well beyond food, water, and shelter •How to create the specific conditions that support learning, trust, relaxation, and lasting behavioral change in any horse This book is for horse owners, trainers, veterinarians, barn managers, and equine professionals who are done guessing and want science-backed answers grounded in how horses actually work. It is for anyone who has ever felt like they were missing something fundamental about their horse and suspected the answer was deeper than technique. If you have ever wondered why your horse is spooky, hard to catch, difficult under saddle, tense in the barn, or resistant to things that should be simple, the answer starts here. And once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

The Possibility Dogs - Susannah Charleson Cover Art

The Possibility Dogs

The Possibility Dogs What a Handful of "Unadoptables" Taught Me About Service, Hope, & Healing by Susannah Charleson

" A  moving page-turner of a memoir from an accomplished trainer who shifts from the work of search and rescue to that of psychiatric service dogs. "— The Boston Globe   After a grisly search-and-rescue operation led to troubling consequences for author Susannah Charleson, she found that her relationship with Puzzle, her search dog, made a surprising contribution to her own healing. Inspired by that experience, Charleson learned to identify abandoned dogs with service potential, plucking them from shelters and training them to work with disabled human partners, to whom the dogs bring assistance, comfort, and hope.  Similar to her  New York Times  bestselling first book,  Scent of the Missing , Charleson's  The Possibility Dogs  goes beyond the science that explains working canines to tell the stories of the dogs themselves. Like Merlin, a black Lab puppy who had been thrown away in a garbage bag and now stabilizes his partner's panic attacks. And service dog Jake Piper, a formerly starving pit bull mix who went from abandoned to irreplaceable. This heartwarming combination of memoir and research is sure to both inform and inspire.    "For everyone who is interested in the human animal bond, this book is essential reading. Learn how service dogs can provide emotional support for people who are in great need."—Temple Grandin, author of  Animals Make us Human  and  Animals in Translation   "You don't have to be an animal lover to be moved by this beautifully written and impassioned account of the author's work rescuing dogs from shelters and training them to be service animals . . . This is the rare book that can change minds about the reality of animals' emotional lives."— Publishers Weekly  (starred review)

The Dogs of Windcutter Down

The Dogs of Windcutter Down One Shepherd's Struggle for Survival by David Kennard

"There is no good flock without a good shepherd, and no good shepherd without good dogs." These age-old words of wisdom have always guided Devon sheep farmer David Kennard. But as he battles to save his farm from extinction, they take on a greater weight than ever. The storm clouds are already gathering when Borough Farm suffers a series of disastrous setbacks that threaten the Kennard family's traditional way of life. Though the farm has survived foot and mouth disease, an invasion of stray sheep, and the threat of disease, a malfunctioning tractor and a sickly sheepdog all add to the farm's daily pressures. How much longer can they stay afloat financially? And will David be the last shepherd to tend his flock in this rugged corner of England? Is there a way to achieve the seemingly impossible---making a living through farming sheep in the twenty-first century? A shepherd since the age of seventeen, David offers an honest and affectionate, often comic picture of life on his sheep farm. But throughout this gentle meditation on his family's rural way of life, David is in a fight for that life, and for the survival of his family and farm. He must rely---as always---on his faithful sheepdogs Greg, Swift, Gail, Fern, and Ernie. But even he is surprised when the dogs---and the new dog on the farm---exceed his expectations and prove to be Borough Farm's secret weapon.

Bloodhound in Blue

Bloodhound in Blue The True Tales of Police Dog JJ and His Two-Legged Partner by Adam Russ

He was born in rural Missouri, and it was immediately clear that he was different from the rest. He caught his first criminal when he was just two years old. By his sixth birthday, he had located burglars, missing children, drug dealers, rapists, and murderers—including Utah’s most wanted criminal. Known to friends as JJ, to law enforcement as Michael Serio’s partner, and to captured criminals as “that damned dog,” Jessie Jr., an exceptionally talented bloodhound, bayed like a sea lion that had swallowed a fog horn. Before JJ, few police departments in the West used bloodhounds, and none in Utah. But just when JJ was finally convincing naysayers, he and Officer Serio ran into something worse than resistance: the despair of failure amid high hope. JJ had been tracking Brian David Mitchell, the man who abducted Elizabeth Smart, when he was pulled off the track. Elizabeth later told investigators that on the day she was kidnapped she heard a dog baying in the woods behind her. In almost nine years of service, JJ helped apprehend nearly 300 criminal suspects in the Salt Lake City area. Here is his remarkable story, fleas and all.

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.

Horse Brain, Human Brain The Neuroscience of Horsemanship by Janet Jones

Horsemanship of every kind depends on mutual interaction between equine and human brains. When we understand the function of both, we can learn to communicate with horses on their terms instead of ours. And, by meeting horses halfway, we not only save valuable training time and improve performance, we achieve other goals, too. We develop much deeper bonds with our horses; we handle them with insight and kindness instead of force or command; we comprehend their misbehavior in ways that allow solutions; and we reduce the human mistakes we often make while working with them. In this illuminating book, brain scientist and horsewoman Janet Jones describes human and equine brains working together. Using plain language, she explores the differences and similarities between equine and human ways of negotiating the world. Mental abilities

Your Dog Is Your Mirror - Kevin Behan Cover Art

Your Dog Is Your Mirror

Your Dog Is Your Mirror The Emotional Capacity of Our Dogs and Ourselves by Kevin Behan

In Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog’s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn’t respond to what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels. And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions. Behan demonstrates that dogs and humans are connected more profoundly than has ever been imagined; by heart; and that this approach to dog cognition can help us understand many of dogs’ most inscrutable behaviors. This groundbreaking, provocative book opens the door to a whole new understanding between species, and perhaps a whole new understanding of ourselves.

Poppy in the Wild by Teresa Rhyne

From the #1  New York TImes  bestselling author of  The Dog Lived (And So WIll I)  comes a tale of love and devotion defying all the odds. After losing her beloved beagle Daphne to lymphoma, author Teresa Rhyne launches herself into fostering other dogs in need, including Poppy, a small, frightened beagle rescued from the China dog meat trade. The elation of rescue quickly turns to hysteria when Poppy breaks free from a potential adopter during a torrential thunderstorm and disappears into a rugged, mountainous, 1,500 acre wilderness park. In the quest to find Poppy, Teresa will work with rescue specialists, volunteers, psychics, a Native American who communes with owls, helpful neighbors, decidedly unhelpful strangers, a howling woman, the police, crushing dead ends, glimmers of hope, and her own emotional and physical limits as she sits in the wind and rain in the wilderness park for hours each dusk and dawn with bags of roasted chicken and her dirty socks, the human lure for a terrified beagle and packs of less terrified coyotes.   Meanwhile, Poppy encounters heavy rains, a homeless encampment, the Sheriff and his wife, a series of strangers, speeding traffic, hawks, and, ultimately, a world of people willing to do anything to protect rather than harm her. Through an unexpected late night encounter, Poppy is finally caught.  After her time in the wild, a surprisingly transformed Poppy reunites with Teresa.

Puppy Socialization - Marge Rogers Cover Art

Puppy Socialization

Puppy Socialization What It Is and How to Do It by Marge Rogers

"Puppy 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. Dr. Sara Bennett, Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, says, “This book is a great resource for any new pet parent. The information is based in the most up-to-date evidence-based science of behavior and learning. It is also presented in an upbeat and easy-to-understand manner, with a healthy dose of real-world stories that helps the reader connect with the authors.” Leslie McDevitt, renowned behavior consultant, trainer, and author of the Control Unleashed series of books and DVDs, says, “This is the most definitive resource on all things Socialization that you could ever ask for.”
 Dr. Karen London, dog behaviorist and author of Treat Everyone Like a Dog, says, “I’m hopeful that this book will be widely read, and its advice followed. It’s the perfect resource for everyone who has anything to do with raising well-adjusted, happy puppies, and its publication is good news all around.” Dr. Alanna Lowry, veterinarian and nationally ranked dog agility competitor, says, “Up until now, a comprehensive guide to this essential task has been lacking. … Your puppy deserves the best start in life. This book allows you to provide it!”
 The authors teamed up to share this information with readers because most people don't know exactly what socialization is or how to do it. And both of them see the fallout of socialization gone wrong all the time. 
 Rogers and Anderson each bring their own perspective to this groundbreaking work. Rogers is certified through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers as a Dog Trainer and also a Behavior Consultant. She specializes in behavior modification for fearful and aggressive dogs and the prevention of fear and aggression through socialization. Anderson is an award-winning writer who is passionate about giving owners accurate information so they can make informed training choices. Together they created this unique, visual guide of the realm of puppy socialization. Every reader will learn something new.

Hunting Together - Harnessing Predatory Chasing in Family Dogs through Motivation-Based Training - Simone Mueller Cover Art

Hunting Together - Harnessing Predatory Chasing in Family Dogs through Motivation-Based Training

Hunting Together - Harnessing Predatory Chasing in Family Dogs through Motivation-Based Training by Simone Mueller

Do you wish your dog would listen to you on walks, rather than running after squirrels? Tired of getting left in the dust if a cat shows up nearby? Concerned that your dog's prey drive is coming between the two of you? Conventional training protocols stifle your dog's natural predatory behaviours through punishing or constantly forcing them to return. These restrictive protocols work against your dog's nature and against what they want most: to go for a hunt! Predation is an inner need that makes your dog happy. Suppressing those natural urges is like putting an airtight lid on a boiling pot. Eventually, that pressure needs to escape, and without a proper outlet, it's probably going to get messy. Wouldn't you rather use your dog's predation motivation to improve your training and even grow your relationship with your dog? Predation Substitute Training (PST) is a motivation-based and need-oriented training program, designed to stop uncontrolled predatory chasing and to provide safe outlets for your dog's natural drive. Instead of making discipline the nagging factor that spoils the fun, this training system will help you grow as a team and go hunting together! In this training program, you'll learn: What is predation? Why does your dog love to hunt? Why is predatory behaviour so hard to interrupt? To stop your dog's predatory chasing and see real-life results, just follow the step-by-step instructions: Prevention: Structure your walks to set your dog up for success Predation Substitute Tools: Help your dog control their urge to chase in a healthy way when you meet wildlife Predation Substitute Games: Discover new ways to express predatory energy in a safe, controlled environment Safety net: Build a strong "emergency cue" to immediately interrupt predatory chasing. Is hunting your dog's favourite hobby? Don't spoil the fun - go hunting together!

The Nosework Dog

The Nosework Dog Understanding Olfaction and Odors Manual by Fred Helfers

Welcome to the World of Detection Dogs. This manual is designed to assist a handler of a detection dog to enhance their team’s proficiency in the detection of a trained odor. It is the author’s belief that the foundation of a successful handler lays in accumulating both practical experience and a firm knowledge of the Canine Olfactory System. The manual does not attempt to cover all areas of canine olfaction and odor movement. It is just the foundation, a primer where the handler should continue to learn about odor and olfaction to better understand how their canine partner detects the world of odors. I must caution those that are new to the field of canine detection. The information contained herein is a foundation. Do not take this information and over analyze each scenting problem, let your dog teach you. “Train don’t Test”. Watch your dog as they unravel each new scenting problem. TRUST your dog!

Cuando Ulises alcanza al fin las costas de Ítaca, exhausto tras largos años vagando en el mar, el único que lo reconoce es Argos, su leal perro, que todo ese tiempo lo ha recordado y esperado para su último reencuentro. Julia Navarro también tuvo que despedirse de su inseparable Argos, un precioso pastor alemán con el que había compartido alegría y horas de escritura. Mucho más que un libro de duelo, Cuando ellos se van es el emotivo homenaje lleno de amor y ternura que Julia Navarro rinde -a través de la Literatura, el Arte, el Cine y la Historia- a esos generosos compañeros que nos cuidan, quieren y protegen durante toda su vida. «No hay animal más leal que un perro. Puedes contar con ellos hasta la muerte. Te lo dan todo a cambio de nada».

Oogy - Larry Levin Cover Art

Oogy

Oogy The Dog Only a Family Could Love by Larry Levin

In the bestselling tradition of Rescuing Sprite comes the story of a puppy brought back from the brink of death, and the family he adopted. In 2002, Larry Levin and his twin sons, Dan and Noah, took their terminally ill cat to the Ardmore Animal Hospital outside Philadelphia to have the beloved pet put to sleep. What would begin as a terrible day suddenly got brighter as the ugliest dog they had ever seen--one who was missing an ear and had half his face covered in scar tissue--ran up to them and captured their hearts. The dog had been used as bait for fighting dogs when he was just a few months old. He had been thrown in a cage and left to die until the police rescued him and the staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital saved his life. The Levins, whose sons are themselves adopted, were unable to resist Oogy's charms, and decided to take him home. Heartwarming and redemptive, Oogy is the story of the people who were determined to rescue this dog against all odds, and of the family who took him home, named him "Oogy" (an affectionate derivative of ugly), and made him one of their own.

Dogtripping - David Rosenfelt Cover Art

Dogtripping

Dogtripping 25 Rescues, 11 Volunteers, and 3 RVs on Our Canine Cross-Country Adventure by David Rosenfelt

David Rosenfelt's Dogtripping is moving and funny account of a cross-country move from California to Maine, and the beginnings of a dog rescue foundation. When mystery writer David Rosenfelt and his family moved from Southern California to Maine, he thought he had prepared for everything. They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with twenty-five dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite the RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment. Rosenfelt recounts the adventure of moving his animal companions across the United States with humor and warmth, and tells the tale of how he and his wife became passionate foster parents for rescue dogs, culminating in the creation of the Tara Foundation and successfully placing several thousand dogs with loving families.
