Status Updates From The Other End of the Leash:...

Both humans and dogs are two of the very few species who continue to play as adults. This has led researchers to theorise that dogs are "infantile" wolves and humans are "infantile" apes, as they never stop displaying characteristics of the very young. Even the most crotchety old human is a lot more flexible than most other adult mammals.

Humans who speak different languages often use the same sounds with training animals. Short repeated sounds encourage activity (like: go! go! go! go!) and a long, low tone encourages slowing down. (like: eeaaaaaasssy)

A book about how the typical primate behaviour humans display around dogs confuses and upsets them. (Surprise: they aren't primates. They don't hug to show affection, f. ex. you weirdo monkey.)

The author is quite self-laudatory about how much success and experience she has human-dog training, but she has the knowledge and what she's saying is quite interesting and informative on animal behaviour.
