| box training for dogs: The Other End of the Leash Patricia McConnell, Ph.D., 2009-02-19 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. |

| box training for dogs: Puppy Socialization Marge Rogers, Eileen Anderson, 2021-06-23 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. |

| box training for dogs: Dog in a Box Ray Lincoln, Emma Lincoln, 2012-10-01 The hour by hour story of what a dog really does when he is home alone how he thinks, feels and changes spending his day free in his home vs. those same hours locked in a crate. Experience one life-changing day from the perspective of easy-to-love Champ, an 8 month old German shepherd who is sometimes silly, sometimes regal, but always goodhearted and always a hero to seven year old Aiden and six year old Cody. Young Champ may not look quite like a superhero in his roles of: dancer on the living room stage, birdwatcher, Mom's stress therapist, Dad's business advisor, self-appointed chairman of the neighborhood watch and caretaker-in-training for his family, yet readers will share each moment of his unclouded joy. They will also experience the darker side of hour by hour confinement seen from the dog's perspective in this first-of-its-kind book. These days, many authorities in the dog world pressure families like Champ's to confine their dogs in crates (or wire cages) for much of each day and night. But Dog in a Box reveals the truth of how confinement changes a dog's physiology, behavior and bond with his owners. Animal lovers know that dogs have a spirit and a soul. And the authors, who specialize in canine psychology, have drawn on years of research for their non-fiction books as scientific background for all the canine thoughts and feelings in Champ's pivotal day. A strange package, an unexpected knock on the door, a simple bowl of water. And an unforgettable dog whose fate can rest in a young boy's smile or tears. Just another normal day on a quiet cul-de-sac. But how Champ spends this day will lead to either joy or devastation and forever alter lives. After enjoying classic dog sagas like Oogy and Marley & Me, now is the season for society to open our hearts to Champ. (Since this book contains realistic depictions of canine body functions and physical distress, parental discretion is advised for younger readers.) |
