Mindful Mutt: A Mindful Approach To Dog Ownership

The Mindful Mutt explains the connection between dogs and mindfulness, how to be mindful yourself and how to be mindful with your dog. You will see how this mindful connection can deepen your understanding of your dog and why they respond to you the way they do.

In this book you will discover:
What mindfulness is. How to be mindful. How to read your dog's body language. How to fulfil your dog. How to recognise your dog's state of mind. We also include mindfulness exercises for you and your dog and some basic training to help your dog with self control and relaxation.

Jackie and Steve used to be the frazzled owners of highly reactive dogs. Their search for a solution led them to the same place; a pack walk for problem dogs run by a local dog behaviourist. It wasn't long before their dogs had made friends and got Jackie and Steve talking.

Their thirst for the knowledge and skills to help such reactive dogs lead normal lives, led to them qualifying as dog behaviourists and becoming trained in the ways of mindfulness. It is now their mission to share what they have learned with as many people as possible, culminating in this book.
