Contrary to what is usually written, not all dogs want to earn their
owner's approval. This book focuses on free-thinking, very
independent, highly energetic, distractable or dominant dogs.
The first few chapters cover dog behavior, equipment & logistics, becoming alpha of your "pack", body language, rewards, and treats. For the specific exercises, the author uses her own bulldogs as examples and explains exactly how to teach your dog the exercise, the steps to reaching the end result (ex. basic heeling to competition level heeling), and some common problems you might encounter. more information:

The Other End of the Leash
by Patricia McConnell
Hardcover: 272 pages.
Publisher: Ballantine Books; 1st ed edition (June 4, 2002)
Dr. McConnell provides no 'magic formulas' here, but explains in clear words why dogs behave the way they do, and how differently both canine and human behavior can be interpreted from their respective points of view. This focus on human behavior and how dogs interpret it together with the many guidelines and explanations offered in this book, provide unusual insight into effective interaction and training. Chapters are categorized by senses such as sound, sight, and smell or specific behaviors such as dominance and play. More information:
