Book Description
Your dog and you ... understanding the canine psyche examines the relationship between people and dogs from a psychological perspective, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Uniquely, this is the first time that CBT has been used to help owners relate to their dogs. A dog's behavior can be a reflection of the emotions an owner may be experiencing; it follows that insight into our behavior using CBT to reduce emotional unrest will, in turn, be reflected in a dog's behavior. Dogs have had to become experts at reading people in order to live with us. By understanding our dog and how he responds to us, we can comprehend more about our world and how our dog sees us. Dogs are naturally expert psychologists, and have, over centuries, been bred and domesticated to live harmoniously with us. That they have - in the main - achieved this so well reflects this amazing animal's ingenuity.

Book Description
Just how successful the bond between man and dog is depends on the dog's ability to ‘read’ us and our moods, so the more we understand about our own behaviour, the better we can influence our dog's responses. The anxieties of an owner can be reflected in their dog's behaviour, and the same is true of a calm, even-tempered owner. A dog may be man's best friend, but first, we need to be our own best friend. This book will show you how.

Book Description
In this book I share my experiences in dog psychology with you and how they ultimately led us to success. I have been working professionally with dogs and their people since 2013. I was able to learn a lot from them and thought it was time to write down the knowledge I had gathered. The basics that throw the dog off balance are often overlooked. We humans tend to approach things in a complicated manner and think things through too much. Even if the cases are individual, I would like to give you incentives, inspiration and, in the best case, even motivation with this book. You will find my experiences and my personal opinion here. My goal with this book is for you to better understand your dog, his and your behavior.
