The Other End of the Leash: Why We Do What We Do Around Dogs

The Other End of the Leash offers a revolutionary perspective on our relationship with dogs, focusing on our behavior compared to that of our canine companions. With over twenty years of experience, Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer, Dr. Patricia McConnell, shares her insights.

Humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its unique evolutionary heritage. Humans are primates, while dogs are canids, like wolves, coyotes, and foxes. This difference in "language" means that much can be lost in translation.

Key Insights:

  • Learn how subtle changes in your voice and body language can help your dog understand your intentions.
  • Understand why striving for "dominance" over your dog can lead to problems.
  • Discover how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and prevent mischief.
  • Explore how dogs and humans share personality types and why dogs prefer benevolent leaders over "alpha" figures.

Fascinating and insightful, this guide aims to enrich the rewarding relationship between you and your dog.
