For anyone who has ever dreamed of being able to
really
talk to their dogs-and "hear" what they have to say...
Akin to Monty Roberts's
The Man Who Listens to Horses
and going light-years beyond
The Hidden Life of Dogs
or any training manual, Suzanne Clothier
takes a radical new direction in understanding our
life with dogs...and our mutual love. Drawing
on a lifetime of experience with dogs, this nationally
renowned dog trainer brings us astonishing new
lessons about our animals-and ourselves.
Gently, with intelligence, humor, and unfailing
patience, Suzanne Clothier guides us
to truly comprehend another creature's mind and
heart.
You will discover how our dogs see the world from their
uniquely canine perspective, how we can meet
their deep need for leadership without using force or
coercion, and how the "laws" of canine culture
often put our dogs at odds with us and our very human
world. Clothier's unparalleled insights
into aggression in dogs can help prevent a tragedy,
including the unnecessary destruction of a pet.
In these pages, you will meet unforgettable dogs who
will capture, and perhaps break, your heart. There is
Badger-handsome, curious, and perhaps dangerous. Can his
threatening
behavior be changed? Though doomed by a congenital
heart murmur, the winsome pup McKinley offers
an unforgettable lesson in living. Then aging
Vali brings us to the moment that all dog owners must
someday face: the loss of a devoted companion. But
what this old dog teaches us in her last days may
change you forever. As in no other "dog book" or
training manual, in BONES WOULD RAIN FROM
THE SKY an extraordinary woman shows us how
to find a deep connection with another being and to receive an
incomparable gift: a profound, lifelong
relationship with the dog you love.
suzanne clothier is a dog trainer, lecturer,
and award-winning author. She is well known for her
holistic approach to the dog-human relationship.
She lives on a working farm in upstate New
York with her husband, eight dogs, and innumerable
other animals.
