Beyond the Leash: How to Understand Your Dog and Become Understood by Your Dog
14.99 €
By examining the behavioral characteristics of primates and canines, this book offers a completely new perspective on the relationship between humans and dogs—such dissimilar yet closely related species. Sometimes we struggle to understand each other, and misunderstandings are the root of most of the problems that arise between us and our dogs. "Beyond the Leash," drawing on modern scientific knowledge, explains how to understand and be understood by dogs.
Like people, dogs receive information from the world around them through their senses—including sight, hearing, and smell. Dogs are sensitive to visual cues not only from other dogs but also from humans: their posture, gestures, and movements—body language; they closely monitor the intonation and tempo of our voices. Dogs inhabit a planet of scents inaccessible to humans, sharing our passion for communication and play. Each dog, like each of us, is a unique individual. "Beyond the Leash" teaches us to observe ourselves and our dogs, using body language and voice. It introduces the social nature of dogs, challenges preconceived notions about the connection between social status and behavior, and explores their emotional life, providing a wealth of examples, stories, and advice useful to dog lovers, trainers, and animal psychologists. This book provides essential knowledge for everyday life for all those who live and work with dogs and strive to understand and cultivate harmony with them.
