The Other End of the Leash
Patricia McConnell

The Other End of the Leash begins with an eloquently simple premise: “All dogs are brilliant at perceiving the slightest movement that we make, and they assume each tiny movement has meaning.” With that in mind, all of Dr. Patricia McConnell’s recommendations for communicating with your canine make immediate sense. Don’t we all automatically bend forward when coaxing a dog to come and play? Break eye contact when we wish to avoid a confrontation? While these instinctive behaviors are right on target, a number of other habits aren’t so positive, and McConnell helps us break them with both humor and common sense.
