Ever wondered why your dog doesn't always do what you want? Sometimes the answer lies in the mirror! This nationally acclaimed book looks at humans as just another interesting species, muses about how dogs might interpret our behavior, and suggests how to interact with them in ways that bring out the best in our four-legged friends.

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.

~ And much much more...
