If You Want To Understand Your Dog Better, Don’t Miss These 5 Books

Since they do not speak, there are those who think it is difficult to understand dogs. Understanding their body language can help us enormously. With their body, their postures, their gestures and their looks, many times they are able to tell us more things than we could communicate in words. 

However, sometimes that’s not enough. For this reason, we present five books that will help you understand your dog better. Reading helps us grow as people. These texts, on top of that, will help us to be better owners for our animals.

The 5 best books to understand your dog

At the other end of the leash

This book by writer Patricia B. McConnell is recommended for experts in canine behavior. It is very simply written, and turns out to be a quiet and even fun read. Even so, however, he is able to go deep into the behavioral problems of dogs.

This book has already been translated into 14 languages. It focuses on problems concerning the relationship between people and dogs. Reading it, we can understand that, as much as we love our dog, we are two different species between which problems of understanding and communication arise.

The book motivates dog owners to talk to their pet. In this way, we learn to understand him and how to behave with him correctly to maintain a good relationship.

The art of training the dog (but also the husband, the children, the mother-in-law and, if desired, the neighbors)

This book by writer Karen Pryor is even being recommended by world-renowned veterinarians.

The book’s goal is to help us have a good relationship with our pet and show us how to do it. It has been argued that the advice it contains could even help us improve our relationships with people and make new friends.

Changing the wrong behaviors we assume towards our dog will promote peace in the home. Thereafter, there will be a better understanding between us and our pet.

Raising a puppy

Caroline Davies is the author of this book which emphasizes the great responsibility that comes with having a pet, as well as the importance of understanding how she thinks, feels, and acts.

As has been said many times, any process involving a dog must be started as a puppy. For this reason, the book largely focuses on the initial stage of the animal’s life.

It is ideal for disobedient and rebellious or even dominant dogs. Some breeds are more likely to adopt this attitude, so this book will help you to change behaviors of this type in your pet right away. It will also help you to make your dog quieter when he is alone in the house.

In your dog’s mind

This book was written by Pamela Reid and marks a real change in the way we relate to dogs. The simplicity and clarity with which he shapes ideas leads him to be chosen by many trainers.

It could be called the best book to initiate canine education and training on the assumption that a dog’s mind hides a very rich, fascinating and largely unexplored world. It shows us that it is not necessary to resort to rigid or severe methods to educate an animal. Rather, the dog must be seen as a collaborator and, as such, it must be educated.

It also shows us several DIY recipes that improve the nutrition of our pets and that can also promote their health and even prevent some diseases.
