Bonding With Your Dog

The human-canine bond: a relationship steeped in love with equal parts mutual respect, trust, and regard.

In this groundbreaking book, professional dog trainer Victoria Schade reveals that a successful relationship between you and your dog isn't about establishing yourself as the pack leader, but about building a meaningful bond. She explains how this bond forms the core of your entire relationship; if it's lacking, it's the primary source of any frustration you may be having with your dog.


Whether you share your heart and home with a puppy, an adolescent, or a senior dog, it's never too early or too late to build a bond to last a lifetime-and this book shows you how.

    "Absolutely every dog owner should read it. It is really best described as couple's therapy for you and your dog, and literally everything she advises you to do in this book just "feels" right. Her lessons truly resonate on a deeper emotional level than any other dog training books I've come across."
