I have a Westie and he used to very social and carefree. In the past few years, his anxiety has increased greatly. In an effort to help him, I’m afraid I have made it worse. This book has helped me to see some of the incorrect approaches I’ve been using. It really helps you understand how to try to help your dog more when you think of communicating with them in a way they may understand. I hope to learn how to implement these approaches and help my dog be the best he can be and not so afraid and anxious.

An easy read but a shocking one! This book delves into our dogs’ behaviors and how we, as people, often interpret it poorly. The dogs in return then manipulate us and develop or simply maintain poor behaviors as a result of imbalanced relationship and bad interspecies communication! “The addition of obedience and training doesn’t necessarily mean the subtraction of behavioral problems” is a groundbreaking concept. Read the book - then tell everyone you know about it. This could be the future

Fantastic read so far….If you have a dog, you need this book! If you don’t have a dog, you need this book to know about your neighbors, families and friends dogs! It’s unlike the mainstream dog training books out there. Garrett knows how to use words to express his passion for your dogs and to help you have a better relationship with them! Enjoyable read filled with knowledge, humor and great info to bring calmness into your homes.

I got an early copy of the complete manuscript so can give a review on the complete book. Different from typical training/behavior modification, this book will greatly benefit your relationship with your dog. It is eye-opening and educational in a fun, easy to read way. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Being a dog lover, I’m excited to read this book. The author is a renowned trainer in the area. Will update my review upon completion, but I anticipate a great read based upon his reputation.
