Story
Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

A revolutionary approach to the techniques of working with horses, by a renowned instructor. In Horses Never Lie, renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid challenges the conventional wisdom of "alpha leadership" and teaches the listener to become a "passive leader" - a counterpart to the kind of horse other members of a herd choose to associate with and to follow. Applying Rashid’s principles and techniques helps cultivate horse personalities that are responsive and dependable regardless of the rider.

Helpful lessons for New Owners!
I remember the day we got our puppy from a farmer. His tiny body was full of energy, and those sharp little teeth were no joke! I thought I was prepared, but I quickly realized how much patience and guidance a new pup really needs. This book would have been a lifesaver back then.
It covers everything from preparing your home to understanding your dog's body language, making the transition so much smoother. Getting ready before bringing the puppy home would be so helpful! If I had known some of these tips earlier, it would have saved me from a lot of chewed-up shoes and sleepless nights. Highly recommend this for new dog owners!

Great for New Dog Parents!
Bringing a new dog home was exciting but also overwhelming—I wanted to do everything right but wasn’t sure where to start. This audiobook gave me the confidence I needed! The 3-3-3 rule was a game-changer in helping my rescue dog adjust, and the potty training tips worked better than anything I’d tried before. I also loved the section on understanding body language—it helped me recognize when my pup was feeling anxious versus just needing space. Whether you’re a first-time owner or just need a refresher, this is packed with practical advice that actually makes a difference. Highly recommend!

Having a dog
I do not have a dog because I do not know much about the purpose of having a nice friend. The only good thing I do credit a dog is that they provide good security in our home. When i was a kid, I was bitden by a dog and I cried so much because I was only a kid. I told myself I would never get a dog again because of how they are. I learned from the audiobook that we need to give them space so they can have their privacy, and they, too, love humans. When we give a dog a home, they need to have a place with a safe environment where there is no noise or things that can harm them. They need love and care. The author provides excellent information so they can live longer and healthier, and water is a great drink for them.

Perfect For New Dog Owners!
As a first-time dog owner, this audiobook was exactly what I needed. I was excited but also nervous about bringing my new dog home, and this provided clear, practical tips that made the process much easier. It covered everything from how to help my dog settle in comfortably to building a strong bond from day one. I especially liked the focus on trust-building—it made me feel more confident as a new pet parent. If you're welcoming a new dog, definitely give this a listen!

New Little Pup
We have a new little puppy who has been nervous and not really listening. This book gives great advice on helping to meet his needs also while trying to establish some healthy habits. This book has me feeling more confident as we go about training and housebreaking him in. The step-by-step approach feels natural, and I appreciate the focus on patience and understanding. The 3-3-3 rule is in place and working great for us, just knowing we are off to a good start is comforting. I recommend this audio book as a guide to prepare you for a new dog before and after you get them. Valuable insights.

Bringing my rescue dog. Sansa, home was quite overwhelming, and this audiobook would've made the transition so much smoother. It covers everything from building trust to avoiding common mistakes, making it perfect for both new and experienced dog owners. The tone is friendly and reassuring, which I really appreciated during those stressful first weeks. Wish I had listened sooner

Happy dog, happy home!
We've rescued a few doggies in our later years and it's tougher than you think! I wish I had this book when we first did that, what a lifesaver that would have been. The advice is practical and easy to follow, even if you're a newbie. It helps you understand your dog's anxieties and build trust. I like the step by step approach and also the tips on creating a calm environment. If you're bringing a new furry friend home, this book is a must-have. It will make all the difference in your lives. Highly recommend!
