Book Description
Hi, I'm Mike. Since May 2016 I have taught a monthly class at a local hospital called Babies Don't Bark. The class is designed to get expectant families ready to bring their new two-legged kid home to meet the four-legged ones you already have! I have two sons, 18 and 15, who both came home to two very large pooches and have been raised around a lot of dogs ever since. I've been a professional dog trainer for the last 10 years. My certification is CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed). I am also a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator for the American Kennel Club. So, what does all this mean for you? It means that I know a lot about dogs, I make my living from teaching people how to understand and relate to their dogs, and I have two grown kids who survived the process. Here's the book on what I've learned! How do we bring a baby a home to a dog? Teaching this subject is a passion of mine. It is simple to do, but will require practice, consistency and frequency on your part to be ready.

How To Speak Dog

Author: Stanley Coren
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1471109410
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 499

Book Description
Communication is crucial in any relationship - especially when one of you happens to be a dog. Drawing on substantial research in animal behaviour, Stanley Coren demonstrates that the average house dog can distinguish at least 140 words and can interact at a level approaching that of a human two-year-old. While actual conversation of the sort Lassie seemed capable of in Hollywood myth-making remains in the realm of fantasy, this book shows us that a great deal of real communication is possible between humans and dogs beyond the simple giving and obeying of commands. How to Speak Dog not only explains the sounds, words, actions and movements which will help owners to communicate most effectively with their dogs; it also deciphers the signs and signals our dogs are giving to us. With easy-to-follow tips on how humans can mimic the language dogs use to talk to one another, original drawings illustrating the subleties of canine body language and a handy visual glossary, How to Speak Dog gives dog lovers a whole new range of essential skills with which to improve their relationship with their dogs.
