Pages : 365
Book Description
Smile! is about the energy we share with our dogs, the state of mind behind that energy, and how a better understanding of the way dogs think and communicate can provide tremendous insight into our own behavior. It is about practicing kindness, achieving clarity, dumping bad habits and finding happiness. It is about removing tension and replacing it with peace, while working on your relationships. It is about being clear in your communication and honoring pivotal differences. It is about letting go of the stuff that isn't working. And it is about teamwork. Smile! connects you with your dogs in a meaningful manner, one in which teaching and learning goes both ways. It immerses you in canine culture, and it will assist you with both easy and "difficult" dogs, in situations where one dog or many are involved. If you equate training your dog with classes, lesson plans, the need for special equipment, frustration and ultimate surrender, fear not! Smile's commonsense, in-the-moment, smile-based and canine-centric approach will be of great help, and it will bring enjoyment and meaning into your life. After all, if you aren't happy, your dog can't be his best.

Amazing (Furry) Lessons from a Dog’s Life You’ll be enthralled by this story of a man and his lovable Labrador retriever, Hannah, and what their canine friendship can show us about life, grace, and long walks in the park. Hannah was Dave’s best friend. He couldn’t imagine starting a day without her tail wagging an energetic greeting, her body wiggling with sheer gratitude when her food dish was filled, and her unbridled enthusiasm for tennis balls. (How she fit three tennis balls in her mouth at once he’ll never know.) So when Dave first learned of Hannah’s cancer diagnosis, he decided to take whatever time he had left with Hannah to cherish the moments and capture his thoughts in a journal. As he wrote about his canine friend, he soon realized that Hannah was an able (and furry) mentor of faith, grace, kindness, and forgiveness. The lessons were invaluable: from being present to trusting the master. When Hannah lived well past the expected time frame, Dave started to see that the insights he was gaining were more than just journal entries about a family pet. Through Hannah’s antics, God was preparing Dave for life itself. You won’t want to miss this heartwarming tale of a dog who knew how to live . . . and showed her owner how.
