The Other End Of The Leash

Why does your dog sometimes do exactly the opposite of what you want? Although humans and dogs share a unique bond, the fact is that we are two entirely different species. And because we each speak a different "language", a lot can get lost in the translation.

In 'The Other End Of The Leash', expert animal behaviourist and owner of four dogs Patricia McConnell shows you how to bring out the best in your best friend by helping you speak the same language. Even the slightest change in your voice and the way you stand can help your dog understand what you want. Once you start to think about your own behaviour from the perspective of your dog, you'll understand why much of what appears to be doggy-disobedience is simply a case of miscommunication.
