In Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog’s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn’t respond to what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels. And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions. Behan demonstrates that dogs and humans are connected more profoundly than has ever been imagined — by heart — and that this approach to dog cognition can help us understand many of dogs’ most inscrutable behaviors. This groundbreaking, provocative book opens the door to a whole new understanding between species, and perhaps a whole new understanding of ourselves.

From Arabians to Quarter Horses, Clydesdales to Shetland Ponies, Horse Alphabet gallops through an A to Z of the world’s most beloved and iconic equines. With stunning illustrations and fascinating facts, this book is a perfect companion for horse lovers of all ages.

A Ray of Hope tells the story of Ray McSoley, a pioneer of 50 years working in the field of dog behavior therapy. This book opens your mind and heart to what Ray simply calls Quiet Firmness, the secret to his seemingly mystical success helping dogs with people problems.

Written with empathy, wisdom, understanding and sprinkled with laugh-out-loud humor, the book reads like Ray is sitting with you at your kitchen table talking dogs.

Join this highly gifted dog man as he travels the U.S. Canada, England and India, helping some of his more than 24,000 clients solve their troubled dogs‘ issues by a process of gaining and giving mutual trust and respect, along with a clear leader presence.

Called the last resort by many dog owners, the man truly is a ray of hope.

Finally, a book that deals with stray cats; a how-to guide to trapping and dealing with a stray cat. As a pet owner, animal lover and director of a humane organization that deals with stray cats every day, this book gives us one more tool to offer to people who want to help the thousands of strays that wander our streets.

"Tamara Kreuz cares about the plight of stray and feral cats and gives practical ways to help them. Individuals and shelters can benefit from this book. If those who find stray animals can themselves set about to help by finding homes for domestic strays, or by creating safe havens for feral cats, this will make life a lot easier for shelter personnel, who are all too often overburdened by the number of animals they receive. We highly recommend The Stray Cat Handbook." Louise Holton and Becky Robinson, Co-founders, Alley Cat Allies: The National Feral Cat Network

"This is a must read for those considering animal rescue work. The information and suggestions provided are first rate and are based on actual experiences." Linda A. Heller, Division Manager, Orange County Animal Services (Florida)

¿El perro desciende del lobo? ¿Cuándo fue domesticado? ¿Cuál es el alimento correcto? ¿Es cierto que ve en blanco y negro? Y el gato, ¿acaso ve mejor de noche? ¿Por qué le fascinan los pescados y casi no bebe agua? ¿Es un animal doméstico o en su lugar prefiere el exterior?

Estas y muchas otras preguntas encuentran respuesta en Como Perros y Gatos. Pórtese bien, sea animal.

Dividido en dos partes, y a partir de un breve recorrido histórico que comienza con la domesticación del perro y las consecuencias que eso tuvo en los seres humanos, y el sinuoso camino del gato, que pasó de ser venerado en el Antiguo Egipto a ser acusado de causar mala suerte, el Dr. Romero analiza las características que los definen, sus similitudes y diferencias. Además, da pistas sobre el comportamiento de perros y gatos y brinda herramientas prácticas para conocer a nuestras mascotas y tener una feliz convivencia junto con ellas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Clues about the behavior of dogs and cats, plus practical tools to understand our pets and live happily alongside them.

Do dogs descend from wolves? When were they domesticated? What is the right food? Is it true they see in black and white? And cats—do they really see better at night? Why are they fascinated by fish and hardly drink water? Are they domestic animals or do they prefer the outdoors?

These and many other questions are answered in Como Perros y Gatos. Pórtese bien, sea animal.

Divided into two parts, the book begins with a brief historical journey: the domestication of dogs and its consequences for humans, and the winding path of cats, from being worshipped in Ancient Egypt to being accused of bringing bad luck. Dr. Romero analyzes the traits that define them, their similarities and differences. He also offers insights into dog and cat behavior and provides practical tools to better understand our pets and enjoy a happy life with them.
