Written in the first person by an "anonymous" pet professional of over 20 years, this short book reads as a humorous and lighthearted conversation exploring the undisclosed realities of cockapoo ownership, and the struggle to find a balance between their needs and your own as a prospective cockapoo owner. 'Don't Buy a Cockapoo' has been described as a cathartic experience for those who have had negative experiences relating to cockapoos, and also those who are passionate about animal ethics. ''Don't Buy a Cockapoo' Description: Cockapoos, or cockerpoos as they are sometimes called, are a crossbreed between a poodle and a cocker spaniel. They have bloomed in popularity over the past 20 years for many reasons and are now living their best lives as furry additions to our homes and hearts. This mixed breed of dog is regarded to be well-tempered and obedient, while also possessing good overall health. They truly are adorable with their big round eyes, affectionate personalities, and generous kisses. It is believed that with a cockapoo you will have a forever puppy who wants to please you, play with you, and be your number one sidekick. I bet you've heard that cockapoos have the loyal heart of our sweet-natured cocker spaniels, mixed with the calm, focused intelligence and sophistication of a poodle (minus the froufrou looks). Cockapoos seem to be the best of both worlds. So, what's the big deal? Why am I writing this at all? That is a good question to ask, and one which many pet professionals are unwilling to answer honestly to your face. I have worked with many cockapoos who have been wonderfully well-adjusted dogs, but before you fall victim to this breed's sweet face and charm, there are some alarming behavioral concerns about the breed that you need to be aware of. I am a pet professional and have been for nearly 20 years. I have worked for veterinary hospitals, grooming salons, a college run animal clinic, and finally, for a kennel and dog rescue. I love dogs. I love them so much that I am willing to risk my reputation to share with you the dark truth about one of America's most beloved designer breeds. Please read this short essay entirely before drawing any conclusions about my intent. I'm just a passionate individual who doesn't want any animal or your family to suffer for a single moment because you could have decided against buying a cockapoo.

Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

When Friedman moved to New York City, he missed the dogs that had surrounded him growing up. He began photographing dogs on the street, and posting them on his blog, The Dogist. Whether because of the look in a dog's eyes, its innate beauty, or even the clothes its owner has dressed it in, every portrait in this book tells a story and explores the dog's distinct character and spirit.
