Have you ever seen a dog and person who just seem to "get" each other? At the park, a dog may be happily exploring his surroundings off-leash, but when his person says the dog's name in a calm voice, the dog comes running back. That's not just good training; it's "bonding." This book is all about developing that fundamental element of a successful relationship between a person and a dog: a bond that is equal parts love, trust, and respect for one another. It is not about becoming the "pack leader" or making a dog love you more.

A strong bond makes training easier, gives both dog and person greater freedom, and simplifies care and grooming, just to name a few of the benefits. A bonded dog listens to basic obedience cues without thinking, wants to be close to you no matter where you are, follows household rules, and thinks you're the coolest "being" around. Veteran dog trainer Victoria Schade first offers a quiz to help you analyze the relationship between you and your dog and then explains the six simple building blocks of bonding, from granting privileges to being consistent to offering ample praise and playtime. Although some dogs (and owners) are trickier than others, it is never to late; with patience and understanding, almost any dog can become bonded--and that leads to a life free of frustration for both the dog and his person.
