Smile! and other practical life lessons your dogs can teach you while you are training them / Lynne Swanson.
This book immerses you in canine culture in a manner that provides incredible insight into human behavior. It is about reducing tension, leading the way, communicating clearly and honoring pivotal differences. It is about practicing kindness, dumping bad habits and finding happiness. It is about the energy we share and the state of mind behind that energy. It is about letting go of the stuff that isn't working. And it is about teamwork. If you equate training your dog with special equipment, once-a-week classes, lesson plans, frustration and ultimate surrender, fear not! This book's commonsense, in-the-moment, canine-savvy, smile-based approach will be of great help, and it will bring meaning and enjoyment into your life. After all, if you aren't happy, your dogs can't be their best.
