Showing results for "Dogs" in House & Home

Even if we've never had direct contact with one, we will have seen one, or at the very least, heard one. For those of us who live in the Western world, it is more than likely that one sleeps in our house, possibly even on our bed. I'm talking, of course, of the dog. Yet, this animal, which lives alongside 500 million of us all over the world - as an invaluable partner and a trusted confidant - presents us with one great unsolved mystery: how did this relationship - the most complex and enduring of any between human and animal - start in the first place?

Is Fido peeing and pooping in all the wrong spots? Are you pulling your hair out? Well, Keep It Simple Stupid Dog Training's Dog Owner's Book of Poop and Pee will teach you how to get Fido to "GO" in the right place, at the right time and even improve the way the two of you communicate. I don't promise fast results - there is no magic bullet or Jedi mind tricks to fix the potty training issue! Instead, I teach you how to speak Dog as a Second Language (DASL) to tell Fido what behaviors you want and when you want them!

It’s beautiful outside, and a perfect day for a walk! You call for your best four-legged friend, hook them up on the leash, and open the door...and the next thing you know, you are on your butt, shoulder throbbing in pain, and you catch a fleeting glimpse of your dog barreling down the street away from you.

Okay, please don’t misunderstand me. I am not trying to insult you with the title of this book. Rather, I want to get your attention. The goal of teaching you how to get you pooch to come back to you when you call them is secondary. My primary goal is to get you to think about dog training in a different way! In many ways, I train dogs the way most of us want to teach children.

A simple guide to minimalism. Easy steps to clear your life of annoying clutter and ditch being overwhelmed. I was trying to think the other day of an easy way to explain to people what minimalism is, and as I was doing so, I looked over toward my dog, Fido, and he gave me an idea. In many ways, dogs already live minimalist lives. Give him a bone, and he’s happy for hours. Dogs are just fine living with little. All they need are the essentials: food/water, love, play, and a good belly rub.
