Publisher's Notes
Paul Loeb's lifelong passion for animals - and his desire to communicate with them - has brought him four decades of leadership in the field of animal behavior. His philosophy is revolutionary but simple: your dog can learn more - and more quickly - if information is delivered properly. Now you can reach a new level of communication with your dog, and get visible results in approximately three hours. Paul Loeb's techniques are geared to respect your dog's ability to learn complex behaviors. Not only will you find step-by-step methods to teach housebreaking, paper training, and the basic commands, but you'll also discover: why one-word commands, including "No", are ineffective; why gimmicks like water pistols or pennies in a can don't really work; why food rewards and choke chains are not good training tools; why "crating" is unnecessary and can jeopardize your dog's life in an emergency; why teaching your dog to come to you is essential - and teaching your dog to sit is not; how to adapt your dog's behavior to your lifestyle - whether you need your dog to walk without a leash, ride politely in a car, sit near the dinner table without begging, never jump up, remain on your property...or do just about anything else you can imagine! This complete guide also tackles problem behaviors like barking, bolting out the door, aggression and biting. And Paul Loeb reveals an alternative to commercial dog-food diets that can enhance your pet's behavior and health.

Dogspeak
by Bashkim Dibra
DOGSPEAK is designed to help dog owners have closer communication with their dogs so that they can "take advantage of the extraordinary gift our dogs so that they can "take advantage of the extraordinary gift our dogs offer us--the unconditional love most humans cant' even comprehend." Bash shows that while dogs are trained to understand people, people must also learn to understand their dogs. Interpreting the barks, facial expressions and body language of DogSpeak will allow regular "conversations" and create a unique, unbreakable bond between owner and pet.

Pack of Two
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. 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 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.
