Average Customer Ratings:
The Other End of the Leash shares a revolutionary, new perspective on our relationship with dogs, focusing on our behavior in comparison with that of dogs. An applied animal behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell looks at humans as just another interesting species, and muses about why we behave the way we do around our dogs, how dogs might interpret our behavior, and how to interact with our dogs in ways that bring out the best in our four-legged friends.
After all, although humans and dogs share a remarkable relationship that is unique in the animal world, we are still two entirely different species, each shaped by our individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (like wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation.
The Other End of the Leash demonstrates how even the slightest changes in your voice and the way you stand can help your dog understand what you want. Once you start to think about your own behavior from the perspective of your dog, you’ll understand why much of what appears to be doggy-disobedience is simply a case of miscommunication. Inside you will learn
• How to use your voice so that your dog is more likely to do what you ask.
• Why “getting dominance” over your dog is a bad idea.
• Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble–and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of trouble.
• How dogs and humans share personality types–and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alphawannabees!”
In her own insightful, compelling style, Patricia McConnell combines wonderful true stories about people and dogs with a new, accessible scientific perspective on how they should behave around each other. This is a book that strives to help you make the most of life with your dog, and to prevent problems that might arise in that most rewarding of relationships.

Wonderful advice -
Wonderful, common sense advice for those who have a dog who pulls on the leash and not just on your heart-strings.
On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming SignalsMy Dog Pulls. What Do I Do?
wonderful, enjoyable and enlightening -
This book was enjoyable to read, really discussed the issues of dog thinking in an balanced way and with backup bits of information (not just the this-way-is-the-truth). She brings in scientific research and discusses how it applies and how it doesn't. Her stories are touching, her passion for dogs is clear, and while I'm not sure I really get all the details and could do those moves at the right time, understanding is a great help. I highly recommend this book, although as another reviewer said, by itself it isn't going to help at all with training, nor does it go into detail on how to handle the various puppy stages or how to pick the perfect puppy for you. This book is a starting guide, before you get a dog, so you understand the why and details behind the advice in the training books and why it's important.
highly recommended -
Great insights into how dogs view the world and how we can best interact with them. Leads us to a greater understanding of how to develop a deep and loving relationship with our dogs based on understanding. Also leads to practical training advice. It's easier and more rewarding to train a dog that you understand. Great for pet owners and advanced trainers.

A must read for anyone who lives with dogs -
I am recommending this book to all my friends and family with a dog. I started using some tips right away with my 6 yr old dog and have seen immediate results---getting him to stop barking and come to me with a single word is the BEST so far! Many of the things Dr. McConnell writes of regarding a dog's view of human behavior seem like common sense, I am not sure why I didn't "get it" before. I wish I had read this book before I got a dog because it really illuminates all the behaviors I have that simply confuse, confound, and frighten my canine friends.
