Book Description
Jessie, a vivacious girl was grounded by her parents for staying out late. She was no longer allowed to go out alone and play with her friends. One day, her grandfather suggested that her parents buy her a dog so that she might learn how to be more responsible and find out why parents are strict. Her parents got her a dog which she named Lassie. Lassie was a handful and engaged in many naughty antics. However, Jessie still loved him so much. Finally, after a traumatising incidence, Jessie learnt the importance of discipline and the need to be more responsible. She learnt that when parents discipline their children, they do it out of love. This is because when you love something, you want to protect it.

He explains how most of our pets’ issues arise from intense feelings caused by the environment, ourselves, or prior conditioning and how these emotions are acted out by the dog, hence its jumping, lunging, biting, or chewing. Combining mindfulness teachings with animal psychology, the author shares training exercises and powerful meditative practices to do with your pet as well as on your own to help build a calm and peaceful mindset for both your dog and yourself, so eventually you will find yourselves aligned in every situation and gracefully master even the unexpected ones. He explores unique training techniques for soothing anxiety, healing neuroses, overcoming aggression issues, and transforming tension into harmony. He teaches you how to communicate nonverbally with your dog using the signals dogs use with each other and details how to address problems with resource guarding, territory, leash training, and a host of other issues as well as the unique situations that can arise with children, puppies, and aging pets.
