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.
