Description/Notes
. Communication between people is hard enough: Just think if you were a dog. This book does just that. 50 worldly dogs tell owners exactly what dogs want: how to play with them, train them, take care of them & love them. Along the way, readers will meet the 50 adorable dogs & their companions who have bared their souls to Anne Bobby, a dog behavior specialist who does volunteer work at numerous dog shelters around New York. * The result is 50 short, simple yet insightful tips that every dog owner should learn, including fun games to play, secrets for making walks special, easy ways to keep dogs off furniture & the best ways to show your affection. * For example: Padraic, a chow-lab mix who tried to sneak into the St. Patrick's Day Parade before he was adopted, tells us, 'For most of us guys, a leash isn't a torture implement designed to stop us from getting lost. To me, a leash is a way of keeping track of you, proof to the rest of the world that you are under my protection & that we belong together. When you take me off the leash, I have to keep making sure that you haven't run way or gotten in trouble. Don't worry, I'll feel free when we get to the park. When we're out walking, don't take the leash away. That way I know you won't wander off.' * Dogs speak to us everyday & it's time we listened. Love Me or Leash Me translates dogs' innermost feelings & provides dog lovers the means to properly love their best friends.
