How to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and BeyondHow to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and Beyond by Cesar Millan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As much as I want to love this book and Cesar’s teachings, his methods do not sink into my head or my dog’s. I’ll keep trying. I love my Milo.

The other reason this audiobook didn’t work for me was that it was directed to newly adopted puppies. My guy is now an adolescent. Maybe when we can get him neutered, it will calm him a bit. He is quite trainable. He loves his treats and does many tricks. By the way, the book isn’t read by Cesar but rather John H. Mayer. I was disappointed not to hear Mr. Millan.

This copy came from Libby. I think I need a book on correcting behavior instead. There are a lot of other books I need to read to get the perfect behavior for an already perfect pup. 🙂

Your Dog Can Talk: A Step-By-Step Guide to Button TrainingYour Dog Can Talk: A Step-By-Step Guide to Button Training by Christina Hunger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have thought for a while that communication is what we all need, and that goes beyond humans. Remember the conversation Koko held with Betty White? It doesn’t take much to see that animals have adapted to our language. Outside? Food, water, hugs, shake paw, roll over, etc. My dog understands my English words. I have no idea what he needs to say to me. I do not know doglish. What if he could talk to me? What would he say? Today I think he cursed out the cable guy nonstop for hours! No amount of reward for silence or punishment in the crate, stopped the heart stopping and ear splitting sounds. I do wish we could sit and have a talk we could come away from with understanding.

The zoo shows on Animal Planet, etc. show how even the most dangerous animals can be trained to do simple tricks to make their care more efficient. And so I feel obliged to do what I can to make my pets’ care better for all of us.

I started reading this on Libby but soon bought all the versions and joined all her websites. And I just bought my first two buttons. Outside, and water is what I’ll assign them.

If you get the chance find the books but even if not find Christina Hunger’s Instagrams and Facebook pages. See the many dog talks and cat talks people are having with their pets.
