| A puppy sees the world in a much different way
than a human - for one thing, everything is an opportunity for fun. The
dog owner who can tap into this joy of living will improve his own life
as well as discover the key to shaping his puppy's behavior. Easier
said than done? Then stop trying to force things; relax and communicate
with the essential wisdom of the animal. That wisdom, says Krista
Cantrell, is the tao - and since the way of tao is intuitive, who
better to lead than a puppy, a discoverer of new things, ruled by
intuition? In this smart new work, Cantrell uses personal anecdotes and
easy-to-follow exercises to help readers understand a puppy’s
nature and needs, become intuitive trainers, and have fun "learning to
play" and "playing to learn." Far more profound than an obedience
manual, the Tao of Puppies reveals that puppies have deep, yet simple,
ways to show us the world in a new light.. |
