Fetching the Perfect Dog Trainer Acquiring a dog, whether a purebred puppy or a shelter rescue, is a big step for most people and fortunately there is a lot of good information available to make a good choice. Deciding who should train your dog is another matter. Unless you have lots of experience training dogs yourself, you probably have not even considered who should train your dog-and if you just rely on newspaper ads or business cards left in a vet's office to find a trainer, you may be very disappointed in the outcome. Fetching the Perfect Dog Trainer by Katenna Jones presents all of the information you need to know to find the right trainer for you based on your lifestyle and the particular behaviors your dog needs to learn.

Empowerment Training for Your Power Dog In her latest book, Dawn Antoniak-Mitchell turns to the subject of managing and training what she labels “Power Dogs.” This grouping includes dozens of breeds who were originally bred to hunt game or to protect people and their property, many of whom were also employed as fighting dogs. These are physically strong dogs relative to their size, usually with a mix of ancient Mastiff and Bulldog ancestry, and some have more recently been bred to Terriers as well. These dogs tend to be protective, tenacious, and often exhibit aggression toward other dogs, but at the same time are playful, energetic and smart. Parsons , Emma .

For the Love of a Dog Yes, humans and canines are different species, but current research provides fascinating, irrefutable evidence that what we share with our dogs is greater than how we vary. As behaviorist and zoologist Dr. Patricia McConnell tells us in this remarkable new book about emotions in dogs and in people, more and more scientists accept the premise that dogs have rich emotional lives, exhibiting a wide range of feelings including fear, anger, surprise, sadness, and love. In For the Love of a Dog, McConnell suggests that one of the reasons we love dogs so much is that they express emotions in ways similar to humans. After all, who can communicate joy better than a puppy? But not all emotional expressions are obvious, and McConnell teaches both beginning dog owners and experienced dog lovers how to read the more subtle expressions hidden behind fuzzy faces and floppy ears. For those of us who deeply cherish our dogs but are sometimes baffled by their behavior, For the Love of a Dog will come as a revelation–a treasure trove of useful facts, informed speculation, and intriguing accounts of man’s best friend at his worst and at his very best. Readers will discover how fear, anger, and happiness underlie the lives of both people and dogs and, most important, how understanding emotion in both species can improve the relationship between them. Thus McConnell introduces us to the possibility of a richer, more rewarding relationship with our dogs. While we may never be absolutely certain what our dogs are feeling, with the help of this riveting book we can understand more than we ever thought possible. Those who consider their dogs part of the family will find For the Love of a Dog engaging, enlightening, and utterly engrossing. Parsons , Emma . 2004.

Not great in terms of courageous, heroic, or bold he was great because he was unabashedly himself.

Dalam BANGKITNYA PARA NAGA, Morgan Rice kembali hadir dengan janjinya akan sebuah serial baru yang brilian, yang akan menghanyutkan kita dalam kisah fantasi tentang para troll dan naga, keberanian, kehormatan, semangat, keajaiban dan keyakinan akan takdir. Morgan sekali lagi berhasil menghadirkan sederet tokoh yang akan menghibur kita pada tiap lembar kisahnya....Inilah karya yang direkomendasikan sebagai koleksi wajib para pencinta kisah fantasi nan apik." --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos Buku Terlaris #1! Sebuah serial kisah fantasi epik kembali lahir dari tangan penulis Terlaris #1, Morgan Rice: BANGKITNYA PARA NAGA (RAJA DAN PENYIHIR—Buku 1). Kyra, gadis berusia 15 tahun, bermimpi menjadi seorang ksatria termashyur seperti ayahnya, meskipun ia adalah satu-satunya anak perempuan di antara saudara-saudara laki-lakinya. Tatkala ia berusaha memahami kemampuan istimewanya, yaitu kekuatan tersembunyi yang misterius, ia menyadari bahwa dirinya berbeda dengan orang lain. Namun ada sebuah rahasia yang tersimpan tentang kelahiran dan ramalan tentang dirinya, hingga membuatnya bertanya-tanya siapakah dirinya yang sesungguhnya. Ketika Kyra telah cukup dewasa dan seorang bangsawan setempat datang untuk mengawininya secara paksa, maka ayahnya terpikir untuk menikahkannya demi menyelamatkan putri satu-satunya itu. Namun Kyra menolak dan ia kabur seorang diri; ia masuk ke sebuah hutan keramat, di mana ia bertemu dengan seekor naga yang terluka—dan sejak saat itulah terjadi berbagai peristiwa yang akan mengubah seluruh kerajaan untuk selamanya. Sementara itu, Alec yang berusia 15 tahun berkorban demi sang kakak, menggantikannya sebagai serdadu aplusan yang dipilih untuk dibawa ke Benteng Api, sebuah benteng di sisi timur dengan dinding api setinggi seratus kaki yang menjadi sarang para prajurit Troll. Jauh di sisi lain kerajaan, Merk -seorang prajurit bayaran yang mencoba lari dari masa lalunya nan gelap- berjalan menembus hutan demi menjadi Sang Penjaga Menara dan membantu menjaga Pedang Api, sumber kekuatan ajaib kerajaan. Namun para Troll pun mengincar pedang itu—dan mereka tengah menyiapkan serangan besar-besaran demi menumpas kerajaan itu untuk selamanya. Dengan atmosfer yang kuat dan penokohan nan rumit, BANGKITNYA PARA NAGA menjadi sebuah hikayat besar tentang para ksatria dan pejuang, tentang para raja dan bangsawan, tentang kehormatan dan keberanian, tentang keajaiban, takdir, siluman dan para naga. Ini adalah sebuah kisah tentang cinta dan hati yang remuk redam, tipu muslihat, ambisi dan pengkhianatan. Inilah puncak dari sebuah kisah fantasi, yang mengajak kita masuk ke sebuah alam yang akan terus kita selami, kisah yang memikat pembaca dari segala umur dan jenis kelamin. Buku #2 dari serial RAJA DAN PENYIHIR akan segera terbit. "BANGKITNYA PARA NAGA benar-benar sukses—sejak awalnya.... Sebuah kisah fantasi yang hebat...Seperti yang kita duga, kisah ini diawali dengan perjuangan seorang tokoh protagonis dan kemudian mengalir berkisah tentang para ksatria, naga, sihir dan siluman, serta takdir...Semua daya pikat kisah fantasi ada dalam buku ini, dari cerita tentang para prajurit dan peperangannya hingga pergolakan batin mereka...Inilah kisah terbaik yang direkomendasikan bagi para pencinta novel fantasi yang penuh dengan kisah tentang tokoh protagonis muda yang kuat dan handal. --Midwest Book Review, D.
