About the authors
Patricia McConnell, PhD, CAAB is an Ethologist and Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist who has consulted with pet owners for over twenty years about serious behavioral problems, specializing in canine aggression. She taught "The Biology and Philosophy of Human/Animal Relationships" in the Department of Zoology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for twenty five-years and speaks around the world about canine behavior and training.
Dr. McConnell is the author of eleven books on training and behavioral problems, as well as the critically acclaimed books The Other End of the Leash (translated into 14 languages), For the Love of a Dog, and Tales of Two Species. Her newest book, The Education of Will, is a memoir focusing on healing from trauma in both people and dogs.
Patricia and her husband live with their working Border Collies Willie and Maggie, her King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Tootsie, outside of Madison, WI, along with a very spoiled flock of sheep. For more information, go to www.patriciamcconnell.com or visit her blog, at www.theotherendoftheleash.com.
Karen B. London, PhD, is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist who specializes in working with dogs with serious behavioral problems, especially aggression. She began working professionally with dogs in 1997, and has spent years working with clients in one-on-one consultations, teaching group classes, and giving seminars about dog training and canine ethology for trainers, veterinary and shelter staff, and the public.
Karen received her BS in Biology from UCLA and her PhD in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she studied the defensive behavior of neotropical social wasps, and a nesting association between two species of wasps. Her research and scholarly publications cover such diverse topics as interactions between species that live together, defensive and aggressive behavior, evolution of social behavior, communication within and between species, learning, and parental investment.
She is an Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University, where she has enjoyed teaching tropical ecology and conservation field courses in Nicaragua and in Costa Rica. She also teaches a freshman class about the importance of insects to society called “Sex, Bugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll.”
She writes for TheBark.com, writes the London Zoo animal column for the Arizona Daily Sun, and is the author of six books about canine training and behavior. Her most recent book is Treat Everyone Like a Dog: How a Dog Trainer’s World View Can Improve Your Life.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
We were prepared for a couple weeks of adoption stress. (Our first one was rescued out of Korea, with a stab wound in her back, sooooo...yeah we were ready.) But the barking was really getting to both of us, and we were starting to get worried about integrating him successfully with our first pooch, who doesn't bark at all (except in the case of 'porch invaders'). And yes, we are now incredibly appreciative that our first go around was with a dog mentally strong enough to save the barking for special occasions!
Anyway we started calmly body-blocking with him just this morning whenever he bolted barking at the door... and it's been four hours of people talking outside, dogs barking across the street, and motorcycles on a holiday weekend--in complete, serene silence. Our first dog has been even more deliriously happy than usual now that I've been able to be that much more consistent with her. There are a LOT of good, basic, practical suggestions in this book, and I can't wait to start working on them--and I imagine they'll have less immediate results--but this one technique is worth the weight of this book in GOLD.
You have to start putting your mind in theirs and it helps you to understand how they think and what makes them react the way they do in certain situations. Highly recommend this book.

Libro veramente utile con tanti suggerimenti. Dopo la lettura ho capito molte cose, e gestito i miei cani molto più efficacemente. Of course, you need how to read English. Non so se sia disponibile una edizione in italiano.
