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.
