About this listen
Number one Amazon best seller
“This is the book that needed to be written.” (Jo Robbens, volunteer with Balkan Underdogs)
Are you struggling to walk your dog or puppy? Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed with your dog right now? Is your puppy struggling with walks? Do you have a scared, nervous, or reactive dog? Does your dog get overexcited when you go for a walk? Have you got a dog that can’t go for a walk due to surgery or illness or old age?
It might come as a surprise, but traditional "walks" are a human invention and aren't helpful for many of our dogs. Whether you want to help your own dog or you work with dogs, this book will help you:
- Understand why your dog reacts in the way that they do.
- Learn how to train your dog or puppy at home to grow the skills they need in life, whatever their age, breed, or background.
- Find out why you shouldn't feel pressured to take your pup for a walk.
- Learn loads of games to play at home just for fun (get access to bonus videos), and what you can do for a calm and happy dog.
- Learn really practical, fun, and easy ways to train your dog and help them (and you!) live calmer and happier lives.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5
Living with a reactive dog can accidently create a reactive person and a cycle of negative experiences begin. There is an answer though! With understanding comes positive change. It might not have always been this way; perhaps walking once triggered positive emotion. Maybe we were happy until something specific happened; for example, we met someone with an unfriendly dog that attacked ours or made them really scared. We, too, could have felt scared, then that fear grew over the next few walks, until we felt it the moment we saw another dog in the distance.

Dogs are one of the most popular companion animals, and many of them go through life confident and happy with the world around them. A significant number do not - the scared dogs, the anxious dogs, the ones that are terrified when approached by another dog, person, or a whole range of possible things. These dogs react to the causes of their fear in a range of ways, all of which combine to make what are called "reactive dogs", the ones that cannot cope and have to find a way to tell us.

More than 15 years ago, Tamar Geller began her career as a dog trainer by observing a scientific study of wolves in the wild. She realized that the socialization and parenting techniques they used to raise their cubs were rooted in bonding, communication, and play: not in aggression, dominance, or punishment. If people used these techniques when training their dogs, she realized, there would be no need for prong collars, choke chains, or any kind of physical or verbal aggression.

But as best-selling anthrozoologist John Bradshaw and cat expert Sarah Ellis show, not only can cats be trained, but they absolutely should be to ensure a happy and healthy relationship between pet and owner. Once we comprehend cats' emotions and needs, we can train them to overcome their natural fears and anxieties.

Dogs are the most social animals on the planet, second only to humans in their ability to read and understand emotion. Even chimps and bonobos, our closest genetic relatives, are no match for dogs when it comes to social cognition. Jennifer Arnold understands this better than anyone, having spent the past 25 years training service dogs for people with disabilities at Canine Assistants. She is a pioneer in the emerging field of "bond-based" dog training.

Story4 out of 5 stars 105
More than 15 years ago, Tamar Geller began her career as a dog trainer by observing a scientific study of wolves in the wild. She realized that the socialization and parenting techniques they used to raise their cubs were rooted in bonding, communication, and play: not in aggression, dominance, or punishment. If people used these techniques when training their dogs, she realized, there would be no need for prong collars, choke chains, or any kind of physical or verbal aggression.

Dog owners know that dogs can be trained, but the idea of training rarely crosses cat owners' minds. But as best-selling anthrozoologist John Bradshaw and cat expert Sarah Ellis show, not only can cats be trained, but they absolutely should be to ensure a happy and healthy relationship between pet and owner. Once we comprehend cats' emotions and needs, we can train them to overcome their natural fears and anxieties.

Story5 out of 5 stars 70
Dogs are the most social animals on the planet, second only to humans in their ability to read and understand emotion. Even chimps and bonobos, our closest genetic relatives, are no match for dogs when it comes to social cognition. Jennifer Arnold understands this better than anyone, having spent the past 25 years training service dogs for people with disabilities at Canine Assistants. She is a pioneer in the emerging field of "bond-based" dog training.

Excellent Training Resource for All Dog Owners
This book was amazing! It was a very easy listen and I was finished with it after a couple of days and drives to work. I loved how each chapter was to the point, yet so full of knowledge. Being a certified PDT with Absolute Dogs myself, it was a real treat to listen to another PDT's book and how they describe each game, what they recommend for one type of dog versus another, etc... Niki is a wonderful writer and narrator! I HIGHLY recommend this book to any dog owner who is struggling with their dogs on walks! So much helpful information packed into such a quick, easy to listen to book!
