Helping Minds Meet : Skills for a Better Life with Your Dog EPUB

Dogs have shared our lives for thousands of years - to the benefit of both species.

However, it's only relatively recently that dogs, in many societies, have lived primarily as companions within the heart of the home.

This close relationship, together with society's expectations of dogs, can pose problems.

All relationships have challenges, and where individuals of different species live closely together, these can be magnified, and misunderstandings occur.

These can lead to fractures in the family/dog relationship, and, in some cases, result in dogs developing behaviours that are problematic for us.

This unique book, written by professionals in the field, explains how and why many of these misunderstandings occur, and how we can work to resolve them.

It aims to help us adjust the way we interact with our dogs, in order to help our dogs be well behaved, whilst at the same time enabling us to enjoy fulfilling relationships and a good quality of life with them.

Especially commissioned images illustrate the text, and worksheets are provided to help owners focus on the areas where their dog and situation can benefit from applying the suggestions made.
