"The most accurate interpretation of a tail wag is not that the dog is friendly, but rather that the dog is willing to interact. Friendly dogs, being willing to interact, wag their tails. However, there are unfriendly ways of interacting, and dogs with these intentions also wag their tails. The details of a tail wag reveal its meaning."

Now Available at Dogwise: What Cats Want: An Illustrated Guide for Truly Understanding Your Cat

What makes cats climb into tiny spaces? Why do they sleep that much? And, most of all, how can we give them a good life?

Dr. Yuki Hattori is Japan's leading cat doctor, and to him cats are the most beautiful animals in the world. His advice comes with little illustrations showing exactly what to look for as a cat owner - including charts showing how to interpret their different meows, the direction of their whiskers and the way their tail is pointing!

Cats may seem low-maintenance but thoughtfulness about where you put their water, how warm or cool they like to be, what name to choose and how to groom them properly will make a life-changing difference. With understanding, affection and respect, your cat will be more healthy and contented - and you'll feel happier too.

An invaluable new guide filled with creative tips and darling illustrations, What Cats Want provides a much-desired glimpse into the minds of our most mysterious pets.

"Finally, a secure learning environment takes frustration into account. A key to helping your animal choose the preferred behavior involves rewarding approximations toward that behavior. Don’t ask for collegiate level behaviors when your dog is still in kindergarten. Understand what your animal is capable of mentally and behaviorally, and expect only behaviors they’re capable of performing."

"However, there are times where the mistake a dog might make would be unsafe to either the dog or another being. We’re not saying to allow your dog to make egregious mistakes. Beyond preventing danger, we should set up the environment to enable our dogs to choose the “right” path. Make it so easy for your dog to do what you’re asking that they won’t even consider another option. Good environmental management typically mitigatesthe risks associated with making mistakes."

"Many people balk at hearing that we should allow our dogs to make mistakes. It’s scary to give up that control! We’ve been conditioned, incorrectly, into thinking that punishing mistakes leads to faster training. On the contrary, mistakes help dogs learn, and making mistakes without harsh consequences helps keep them feeling safe in the process."

At Dogwise, we have already seen an increase in prospective authors submitting manuscripts that have been written by AI. Part of our (increasingly difficult) job is to sort out the AI writing from the real writing, which can be an extra challenge with new and upcoming authors whose writing styles aren’t familiar to us.

What do you think about the future of AI in dog training?

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. It powers online searches and apps like ChatGPT, along with generative software in Photoshop. It’s creating new technologies in the health and medical fields. There are now even AI musical artists and AI actors. Where will it all end? And is there a place for...
