About this listen
After four years as a military working-dog handler, five years training canines in explosives and narcotics detection, as well as owning two successful dog-training businesses, Ryan Matthews shares his expertise in The Canine Connection.
Matthews believes that owners willing to invest time in the training of their dogs will enjoy the highest levels of obedience as well as deep and valuable bonds with their pets. The Canine Connection is a comprehensive audio manual covering every aspect of dog ownership, from considerations around picking out the right dog to health issues including end-of-life decisions.
The Canine Connection is broken into two parts, with the first section covering everything a dog owner should know (as per the title of that section) and the second serving as a quick reference for solving common behavior problems.

Training a puppy can look like tons of fun, but it can be a head-scratching and difficult experience if you don't know what you're doing. It can be frustrating enough to resort to using spanking, yelling, and other less-than-ideal training methods to get your puppy to behave, which often makes the problem worse. In this guide, Alexander Ward shows you everything you need to know about house-training even the most energetic and rambunctious of puppies and getting them to listen to your commands.

Dog owners know that dogs can be trained, but the idea of training rarely crosses cat owners' minds. But as best-selling anthrozoologist John Bradshaw and cat expert Sarah Ellis show, not only can cats be trained, but they absolutely should be to ensure a happy and healthy relationship between pet and owner. Once we comprehend cats' emotions and needs, we can train them to overcome their natural fears and anxieties.

More than 15 years ago, Tamar Geller began her career as a dog trainer by observing a scientific study of wolves in the wild. She realized that the socialization and parenting techniques they used to raise their cubs were rooted in bonding, communication, and play: not in aggression, dominance, or punishment. If people used these techniques when training their dogs, she realized, there would be no need for prong collars, choke chains, or any kind of physical or verbal aggression.

Dogs are the most social animals on the planet, second only to humans in their ability to read and understand emotion. Even chimps and bonobos, our closest genetic relatives, are no match for dogs when it comes to social cognition. Jennifer Arnold understands this better than anyone, having spent the past 25 years training service dogs for people with disabilities at Canine Assistants. She is a pioneer in the emerging field of "bond-based" dog training.

Dog owners know that dogs can be trained, but the idea of training rarely crosses cat owners' minds. But as best-selling anthrozoologist John Bradshaw and cat expert Sarah Ellis show, not only can cats be trained, but they absolutely should be to ensure a happy and healthy relationship between pet and owner. Once we comprehend cats' emotions and needs, we can train them to overcome their natural fears and anxieties.

Story4 out of 5 stars 105
More than 15 years ago, Tamar Geller began her career as a dog trainer by observing a scientific study of wolves in the wild. She realized that the socialization and parenting techniques they used to raise their cubs were rooted in bonding, communication, and play: not in aggression, dominance, or punishment. If people used these techniques when training their dogs, she realized, there would be no need for prong collars, choke chains, or any kind of physical or verbal aggression.

Dogs are the most social animals on the planet, second only to humans in their ability to read and understand emotion. Even chimps and bonobos, our closest genetic relatives, are no match for dogs when it comes to social cognition. Jennifer Arnold understands this better than anyone, having spent the past 25 years training service dogs for people with disabilities at Canine Assistants. She is a pioneer in the emerging field of "bond-based" dog training.
