14.99 €
By examining primate and canine behavior, this book presents a whole new perspective on the relationship between humans and dogs, such different yet similar species. Sometimes we have trouble understanding each other, and misunderstandings are the cause of most of the problems that arise between us and our dogs. "On the Other Side of the Leash" draws on current scientific knowledge to explain how to understand dogs and become understood by them.
Like humans, dogs receive information from the world around them through their senses - including sight, hearing and smell. Dogs are sensitive to the visual cues not only of their kin, but also of humans: their postures, gestures, movements - body language; they closely follow the intonation and tempo of our voice. Dogs are inhabitants of the planet of odors inaccessible to man, sharing our passion for communication and games. Each dog, like each of us, is a unique individual. "On the Other Side of the Leash" teaches us to observe ourselves and our dogs, to use body language and voice. It introduces the social nature of dogs, corrects previous ideas about the relationship between social status and behavior, and talks about emotional life, providing a wealth of examples, stories, and advice useful to dog lovers, trainers, and zoopsychologists. This book provides the knowledge needed in everyday life for all those who live and work with dogs and seek to understand and harmonize with them.
