The (Dog)10 approach is about more than just teaching commands and having a well-behaved dog.

It’s about ensuring your dog is emotionally and physically healthy, as their quality of life impacts your entire family. As you begin to meet their emotional, mental and physical needs, they will rise up to impress you in ways you’d never expect.

This book will take you on a journey of discovery. You’ll find out more about your dog’s inner world, and you’ll probably find out something new about yourself as well. But in order to shake you out of your comfort zone, and set you out on a journey, you need a catalyst.

So, will this book be your catalyst? Honestly? No. Your catalyst is probably right next to you, or by your feet, or chasing their tail in the garden right now.

Your dog is the reason you’re thinking about reading this book. Your dog is a wonderful creature and, though they test your patience and upset your plans sometimes, they’ll be the one to guide and inspire you on this journey.

So what are you waiting for? Let?s go!
