GET TO KNOW YOUR DOG. Renowned expert dog trainer and bestselling
author of Lucky Dog Lessons Brandon McMillan unpacks the unique and
often misunderstood 15,000-year evolutionary history governing a
dog’s every move. Most dog owners know the truth—their dogs are
totally incompatible with the modern world. Instincts like herding,
chasing, and protecting have no natural outlet and frequently
result in chewing, barking, nipping, jumping, lunging, and worse.
However, as McMillan argues in these pages, the solution isn’t as
simple as mastering “sit” and “stay.” No matter what kind
of dog you have, no matter how old or young or well trained or
well-bred, your beloved companion is strongly influenced by his
DNA. The result of these genetic distinctions shows up in every
inch and action—from the size and shape of a dog’s head (and
the brain inside it) to the length and curve of his tail, from the
texture of her fur to the webbing (or lack of webbing) between her
toes. It’s in their lung capacity, their tolerance for heat and
cold, their appetites for food and exercise, and whether and how
they bark. It goes beyond their structure and deep into their
psychological profiles. Perhaps you’re lucky enough to have a dog
with more than a few breeds mixed in, which makes this information
all the more crucial to know and understand. In The Story of Your
Dog, McMillan breaks down why your dog acts the way it does, so you
can train better and easier, with fewer missteps and
miscommunications, and bond in ways you never thought possible. It
is an invitation to get to know the sometimes frustrating but
always incredible dog at the other end of the leash.
