Book Description
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.

Book Description
As a holistic veterinarian and scientist, Dr. Gary Richter helps dog and cat owners to navigate the thicket of treatment options and separate the fact from the fiction. He wants us to use what actually works, not just what Western science or alternative medicine say "should" work. This multifaceted approach to health is known as integrative medicine. Dr. Richter examines traditional medicine from many cultures alongside modern medical techniques, describing the best of complementary care and the best of conventional veterinary medicine. Every treatment he recommends has the backing of scientific research or years of successful outcomes in his clinical practice. After explaining the treatment, he offers specific recommendations for an integrative approach to common diseases, including allergies, skin conditions, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. A holistic approach to health includes nutrition, as it sets up the foundation for your pet’s health. Dr. Richter cuts through the hype in the pet-food world and explains how to choose the best commercial foods and supplements, and even includes both raw and cooked dog- and cat-food recipes for general diet as well as to treat specific needs. He also explains how we can use the right foods and supplements to "hack" the body’s processes, including the immune system.

Book Description
In this second installment of the Slim Calm Sexy series from Women's Health, nutrition expert Keri Glassman empowers readers to take control of their forks and focus on a revolutionary new way of eating--one that will help them lose weight, conquer stress, and look and feel their best every day. Using cutting-edge research that shows how certain foods work in tandem with the body's natural systems, the author demonstrates how our traditional way of eating promotes fat and stress, and explains the simple tweaks that can turn "fat, frazzled, and frumpy" into "slim, calm, and sexy." Featuring indulgent recipes like Raspberry & Ricotta French Toast and Bison-Stuffed Red Pepper, satisfying Slim Snacks, and supercharged Slim Smoothies, this diet plan isn't about counting calories or deprivation-it's about eating more of the right foods. The Slim Calm Sexy Diet is so effective because it not only tells you what to eat, it tells you when to eat-eliminating the stress that leads to hunger and overeating. The diet also includes a comprehensive fitness plan that combines supercharged cardio, calorie-burning strength training, and energy-boosting yoga (that also tones and lengthens). The result is a sleek, sexy shape, smooth skin, a happier mood, and a more satisfying sex life. Packed with easy-to-prepare recipes, hundreds of helpful tips, and weekly workout plans, this is the ultimate guide to mind/body bliss.
