It was an amazing and very informative book that is perfect for new owner or soon-to-be owner of a dog. It could also help realize to some already owner that some things they do are wrong or how they can improve their life and their dog's life with some awesome tips!

I really liked how everything was extremely positive, and based on the dog's well-being. There are so many great tips on how to train your dog in a positive way, and counter some myths and stuff we always get told, such as "you have to be the dog's leader/dominant" or "you shouldn't bath your puppy before 6 months old" - some things I've personally learned from my studies as well as just trying to understand where these myths could come from. So it was nice to see these in the book as well.

It talks a lot about the dog's happiness as well as yours, it has great ideas for what to do to reinforce the bond between your dog and yourself, how much they trust you, has some activities you can do indoor and outdoor, how to be calm and show how much your behavior is sensed and can change your dog's behavior as well. -- And to be really honest here, it feels extremely rewarding to see so many proof saying you have a great bond and your dog trust you and loves you, when I read everything that I actually do and have with my own dog ♥
