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.
First, you'll take a quiz to help you gauge your current relationship with your dog. Next, you'll learn the building blocks for creating a positive, mutually rewarding bond-from granting privileges to being unpredictable to offering ample praise and playtime. You'll discover how a bonded dog:
- Listens to obedience cues
- Wants you in her sightlines, even in intriguing environments
- Doesn't escape through open doorways
- Understands and follows your house rules
- Wants to be close to you and work with you
- Truly trusts and respects you
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.

This review is from: Bonding with Your Dog: A Trainer's Secrets for Building a Better Relationship (Paperback)
This is a really great book. It combines basic common-sense strategies to not only train your dog, but to really *bond* with your dog, which is an often overlooked component. Victoria, a professional dog trainer, combines tips along with client-inspired stories that are both humorous and informative. This isn't a rote step by step "how to" type book; it's more of a holistic approach to improving the relationship we have with our dogs. Victoria also reminds us that building the canine-human bond can and should be a lot of FUN! Fast and easy read too.

This review is from: Bonding with Your Dog: A Trainer's Secrets for Building a Better Relationship (Paperback)
I recently purchased "Bonding With Your Dog", by Victoria Shade and I can't say enough good things about it! It is probably one of the most well written and practical manuals on how to achieve optimum performance and happiness with your dog I have ever read. Do you have a problem walking with your dog on leash? Victoria Shade gives you step-by-step instructions as to how to fix it. Not only that, those instructions are something you can put into practice today. Additionally, the bond she is talking about with your dog can extend to your human friends as well. Well, not in walking them but in complimenting and praising what you think is special about them. With this praise, people as well as dogs tend to repeat these behaviors. Kudos to Ms. Shade for writing a book that delivers what we do to unintentionally hurt our bond with our dog and five major, practical ways to work on it. This is a must read for anyone who loves their dog.

This review is from: Bonding with Your Dog: A Trainer's Secrets for Building a Better Relationship (Paperback)
I have had three dogs (now four)and always wondered what I could do to create a even better bond than kindness alone would let me have with them. This wonderful book answers those questions and more. I just got my fourth dog from a Lab rescue, and now I know much more to help me train her and create even more love between us. I thanked the author by email, but let me do it again here for writing such a terrific book.
