This valuable resource empowers individuals across the spectrum of pet care and training, ensuring healthier, happier relationships between humans and their canine companions.
Written by ExpertsAuthor Ji Khalsa, MNS, IAABC-ADT, has trained and worked with all kinds of dogs for over 30 years and realized early on that "misreading" what a dog is telling you is the #1 factor that causes behavioral issues, prevents the full-depth of bonding, and prevents dogs from living their best lives. She firmly believes that nurturing effective two-way communication plays a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of dogs.This book is illustrated with beautiful photographs by the highly esteemed Martha Hoffman, who literally wrote the book on hearing assistance dogs. In addition to training Hearing Dogs, Martha has trained her own pet dogs for a range of tasks, including service dog duties, hearing dog alerts, tracking, film and stage work, tricks, cancer and bedbug detection, herding, and diabetic alerting.
Martha's beautiful and evocative photographs highlight Bali Heritage Dogs, the oldest known dog breed on the planet and one of the few true remaining primitive breeds. Part of the proceeds from this book are donated to rescue organizations in Bali to help support the care and survival of this precious breed and its immense historical and cultural significance.
