My hubby Ulrich is not truly 'a dog person,' and has never been around dogs much. He really loves Grimm! However, hubby is one of those people who reflexively zips their hands upwards & away when a dog comes over to kiss 'em, who backs away as a dog moves into his space, steps over the dog who is laying on the carpet instead of shuffling on through, who gives eye contact at the same time he is trying to tell the dog (with chatter, not known commands) to end an interaction. However, he loves Grimm. He wants to learn to be a better leader, learn leadership skills regarding daily living with and interacting with a dog. He asked which books are best to learn this, and many of our fave books (Patricia McConnell, Jan Fennell, C. Millan, etc) are available in German.... but not all the great books are.
Can you reccomend books that are good for someone needing to learn to use space, bodylanguage, tone of voice, eye contact, to establish leadership? Leadership & understanding dogs views on our interactions with them re leadership are what we're after for hubby. I am so grateful he is interested, open, curious, and willing to learn! I feel Grimm will be a more relaxed, settled dog with two consistant, firm-but-fair leaders who love him so much. Thanks for reccomendations!
