What is Pet Power 10? The Pet Power 10 approach is based on the balance of various aspects that make up our dog's life (and ours). Nature is a great teacher. It balances entire ecosystems, making sure each individual in a system has the right predispositions, abilities, and attitudes to contribute perfectly to the cohesive whole. Using nature as our inspiration, we can look at our dog and understand their priorities, needs and desires. The goal of this book is to build your relationship with your Labrador by respecting their natural character, rather than fighting it. Don't worry, it's easier than you think To illustrate the point of every chapter, we'll follow the life of a wolf, from his very first steps outside the den to a rich life of hunting, socializing, and solving problems. We'll look at the world through his eyes and see what he can teach us about our dog's canine nature. Once we start to understand our dog's motivations through their wolfish ancestry, we can start applying those lessons to teach them new behaviors and improve their relationship to us and the world around them. You'll learn how to build your relationship with training exercises and activities you'll both enjoy. The Pet Power 10 approach is about more than just teaching commands and having a well-behaved dog. It's about ensuring your dog is emotionally and physically healthy, as their quality of life impacts your entire family. As you begin to meet their emotional, mental and physical needs, they will rise up to impress you in ways you'd never expect. This book will take you on a journey of discovery. You'll find out more about your dog's inner world, and you'll probably find out something new about yourself as well. To shake us out of our comfort zone and set us out on a journey, however, we need a catalyst. In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance that increases the speed of a reaction. In a figurative sense, a catalyst is an individual, idea, or event which sparks your motivation and drives you to make a change in your life. So, will this book be your catalyst? Honestly? No. Your catalyst is probably right next to you, or by your feet, or chasing their tail in the garden right now. Your dog is the reason you're reading this book. Your dog is a wonderful creature and, though they test your patience and upset your plans sometimes, they'll be the one to guide and inspire you on this journey. What are you waiting for? Let's go
