Chapter 2-Translating primate to canine
This book is very repetitive and includes some main ideas that are repeated over and over again in different words. Those main ideas are something like this; Dogs see our silhouettes and a hat or a back pack or bike make us look like aliens. When teaching your dog to come it is best to run away from it while calling it so that it thinks your playing chase with it. This helps because dogs like playing and are more likely to listen to you if it will be involving a pleasant experience, more so than an unpleasant one. Body blocking is another big thing, if your dog is doing something you don't want your are supposed to get up in it's face and take the space around it, stopping it from be able to do much. If your look away from your dog it's telling it to not do something, just like humans when we look away from someone it makes them feel weird.

Chapter 3-Talking to each other
This book is very repetitive and includes some main ideas that are repeated over and over again in different words. Those main ideas are something like this; Dogs don't understand what we say, even commands are gibberish to them. They respond to the sounds we make and the actions we do when we say them. Repeating commands is a bad thing, it's like when to ask someone to do something and they are getting their last head shot of the match or watching the last touchdown of the game. Unless your bleeding out, most likely they are going to finish that quick thing before doing what was asked of them. Dogs are the same way but with things like, sniffing or eating a treat or something like that, so repeating a command just confuses them. Making your voice louder and saying quiet don't do anything at all to a dog. All you would be doing is joining in on the barking and making things worse. To have the best results of getting your dog to do something your supposed to use a calm and higher voice than usual to make the dog feel comfortable with listening to you.

Chapter 4- Planet Smell
This book is very repetitive and includes some main ideas that are repeated over and over again in different words. Those main ideas are something like this; Dogs use smell to communicate, not barking because all dogs have a different scent. Dogs are known for their remarkable smell, but it is a little known fact that human smell is very important to humans as well. Unconsciously or not, studies prove that humans are able to tell whether a shirt has been worn by a man or woman.
