The title of this book grabbed me right away. Who hasn’t wished that their dog could talk at some point?
Learn to improve the bond between you and your furry buddy. I see two possibilities for improving the communication between the two of you.
I give you the best chances when you choose the second option. It’s much easier that way! |
The book starts out with an introduction, followed by the history and evolution of the dog as a domesticated pet. Canine intelligence and trainability are discussed, as are the various breeds and how they rank in these topics according to top canine experts. The ‘Starting a Family’ section tells it all in photographs: how mates are selected, the mating sequence, pregnancy, delivery and birth, and finally how puppies develop and view the world as they grow.
The following sections, ‘What Dogs Do’, ‘Being A Dog’ and ‘Living With Us’ cover a variety of topics that will interest dog owners. Learn about:
- Social order – more complicated than simply top dog and everyone else
- The differences between male and female behavior and the effects of neutering on behavior
- Territory – marking it and defending it
- Seeking attention, happiness, excitement and boredom behaviors
- Meeting humans and other animals
- Normal dog behaviors associated with eating, chewing on things, vision, voice, sense of smell
- And many more topics!
Do you insist on trying things the other way around?
Be my guest… I have found just the book for you! 
| The book’s first sentences are as follows: ” Do you want a dog with whom you can have a light conversation over coffee? Or perhaps, during a quiet evening meal, you’d enjoy an in-depth debate on American foreign policy? Though you can certainly commune with your best friend now, you still lack the exciting give-and-take of a profound discussion of some arcane topic. Without the proper training, it’s just not going to happen! Hey, even with the proper training you’re not going to get that in-depth conversation. When you converse with your dog in a relaxed fashion, even if you’re dead wrong, he’ll still look at you with adoring eyes. This unquestioning adoration is the communication you’ll receive from him.” |
Ah…. I just discovered this third option: Get a translation device … 
This BOW lingual device was developed by a Japanese scientist and it translates dog emotions.
You need to enter your dog’s breed and gender (it is pre-programmed for over 80 breeds). Bow-Lingual even includes a special set-up for mixed-breeds. Everything you need to interpret your dog’s bark is in the box.
Bow-Lingual divides barks into six categories of emotion: happy, sad, frustrated, on-guard/territorial, assertive/showing-off and needy. The wireless microphone attaches to your dog’s collar, and sends the message to the handheld receiver unit where the bark is analyzed. There is even a ‘Home Alone’ mode that lets owners see if their dog has been barking and how he was feeling when they were away. The Bow-Lingual records all barks over a 12 hour period!
