McConnell shares insights on how dogs might interpret our behavior and essential advise on how to interact with them in ways that bring out their best. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the way we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you'll discover how you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a human and more like a dog. It also provides insight on how dogs and humans share personality types--and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than "alpha wanna-bes!" (© 2002, Paperback, 246 pages) Amazon.com: The Other End of the Leash begins with an eloquently simple premise: "All dogs are brilliant at perceiving the slightest movement that we make, and they assume each tiny movement has meaning." With that in mind, all of Dr. Patricia McConnell's recommendations for communicating with your canine make immediate sense. Don't we all automatically bend forward when coaxing a dog to come and play? Break eye contact when we wish to avoid a confrontation? While these instinctive behaviors are right on target, a number of other habits aren't so positive, and McConnell helps us break them with both humor and common sense. Chapters are categorized by senses such as sound, sight, and smell; specific pack behaviors such as dominance and play also merit their own sections. McConnell uses the same humor and patience she recommends with dogs on her readers. Whether she's referring to maggots as "a value-added commodity in canine economics" or ruminating on attempts to verbally cue her dogs to exit the house one at a time, her wise and gently self-deprecating book brings training--of both dogs and humans--to new levels.

 Rating:  - It Was GreatDon't go into this book expecting a manual and you will not be disappointed. It's a conversationally delivered comparisson of primates and canid behaviors, and how they sometimes (often) conflict, with some stories that make it all seem more relevant to real life, mixed in. I enjoyed this book because I find this topic fascinating. The next time I trained a dog after reading this book, I was more aware of what I was doing, and the training went much more easily. When studying Ethology, I've found ... Read More Rating: - Sooo helpful!PLEASE read this book!!! I would recommend this to anyone wanting to understand dogs better and become a better dog owner! Rating:  - The Other End of the LeashI have learned a lot about the way my two pups think. The author explains how to use their thought process to make them modify their behavior and how to get them to accept differant situations. I have learned how to quite my dogs when they are barking at nothing and I have learned how to get them to come almost effortlessly. I would highly recommend this book to any dog owner that would like a better behaved dog. Rating: - Thank you Dr. McConnell!This book provides truly wonderful insight into the human/dog relationship. It is a must read for all those who love dogs. I am humbled by Dr. McConnell's wisdom. This is one book it was a privilege to read! Rating: - Well WrittenThis is a well written book. I do some traveling and was a great read on the plane.
