Publisher Description: Scientists are finally acknowledging what dog lovers have long known: Our canine companions are fully emotional beings and are acutely sensitive to the changing feelings and moods of their owners. This truth is the foundation of April Frost's original and highly effective training program. Her popular dog-training video has already sold more than 100,000 copies.

Drawing on her experience as a trainer and animal rescue worker, Frost discusses such essential concepts as mutual respect, unconditional love, mental and emotional discipline, and the owner's expectations and priorities, and shows how the insights gained from working with dogs can have positive far-ranging effects on many areas of life. By showing readers how to relate to animal companions in a new way, Frost revolutionizes dog training and teaches people and dogs to communicate effectively through powerful techniques including visualization and energy work.
