"Dusty, Here!": Understanding a Dog's Point of View

By Duff Lueder

Have you ever heard of an "alpha leader"? Do you know that dogs of all breeds and personalities are constantly evaluating their statuses in a pack (of which you are a part)? Do you know that dogs really want to please their human leaders; that they don't misbehave out of spite or any other motivation? Do you know that a dog's point of view differs from your own? If you answered "No" to any of these questions or you answered "Yes" but love to read entertaining, yet informative, books, you need to meet Dusty. "Dusty, Here " is a conversation between Dusty, a dog, and Uncle Duffy, his "behavior modifier" and obedience trainer. Complete with delightful illustrations and pet portraits, this book is entertaining for children and adults alike and is chocked full of practical information on how you can modify your dog's behavior on a day-to-day business.

Customer Reviews

The dog can't learn your language, but you can learn his.

Excellent resource for people who want to understand and communicate with their dogs instead of relying on gimmicks intended merely to control them. Written in a lighthearted, easy to understand style, this little book puts the plain old fun back into having a dog in the family and lets you know that neither you nor your canine child is crazy. The author likes dogs AND people, and it shows. Go for it!

Have you ever wondered what your dog was thinking?

Refreshing new book from the dogs point of view.If you ever thought the pile of chewed up shoes, pottied floors or bitten heels were a sign of disrespect, no connection with your dog, this is for you.It will help you see your dog is communicating and how to change that behavior to something more acceptable.Written by a respected national trainer on a level never done before.Loved it!
