Description

Connecticut: The Lyons Press. New. 2004. Paperback. 1592285376 . New. Publishing mark. Pasadena's premier independent new and used bookstore. Pets.; 1.3 x 9 x 5.7 Inches; 304 pages; <div>Apuppy sees the world in a much different way than a human-for one thing, everything is an opportunity for fun. The dog owner who can tap into this joy of living will improve his own life as well as discover the key to shaping his puppy's behavior. Easier said than done? Then stop trying to force things; relax and communicate with the essential wisdom of the animal. That wisdom, says Krista Cantrell, is the Tao-and since the way of Tao is intuitive, who better to lead than a puppy, a discoverer of new things, ruled by intuition? In this smart new work, Cantrell uses personal anecdotes and easy-to-follow exercises to help readers understand a puppy's nature and needs, become intuitive trainers, and have fun "learning to play" and "playing to learn." Much in the same way that Pooh fans discovered that the little bear had wisdom and insight far deeper than his honey-centric ways might have indicated, Cantrell's readers will come to realize that puppies have profound, yet simple, ways to show us the world in a new light. <br></div> .
