Customer Reviews

Simple techniques, fun read ...

I saw HOW TO MEDITATE WITH YOUR DOG on one of Jay Leno's late night segments, and also read a great review about it recently in The Globe and Mail. I, too, thoroughly enjoyed it. It was warm and lighthearted; the perfect book for anyone who truly wants to deepen and enrich their relationship with their pet.

Becoming a Dog Person

I read this book after moving in with two pit bulls who, frankly, scare me, and I learned so many great techniques on how to calm them and myself. We've had a lot of nice bonding moments since then, and I realized how much my attitude was affecting our relationship. This book has a beautiful rhythm to it, and I felt relaxed even after reading it. I recommend it to anyone.

An Animal Doctor's Perspective

This is a great book! As a pet healer, I deal with the mental/spiritual aspects of health and their link to well-being and recovery. Very little attention has been given to this area in the veterinary world. I just love Mr. Jacobson's emphasis on the mutual benefit of meditation for dogs and their people. If you want to enrich your relationship with your pet and improve the health of both of you, read this book. Demian Dressler, DVM

Must READ for all animal lovers

I adored this sweet and light hearted book about a man and his dog. I already meditate and thought this was a creative way to share my morning meditation with my furry friends. I enjoyed the way the author loves his little dog Maui, and I fell in love with Maui as I continued reading. I just wanted to reach inside the book and snuggle up with the sweet little dog. It embraces what all of us humans desire, that unconditional love that only a dog can share with us!!! I was fascinated with the concept of sharing my mediation with my animals, and have tried it! It works! Great read for any animal lover!!

Hooked on Meditiation

Since I adore dogs and never was without one, I started reading "How to meditate with your Dog" eagerly. The whole concept of meditating with my greyhound Lilly interested me. On a rainy day, right off in the morning we got started. Lilly really enjoyed having me so close to her. Meditation set the tone for the day. Without problems she even took her mediaction, and I was not stressed out over it (as she refused to take it on other mornings). I used the techniques James Jacobson talks about, and I will continue to do so. This enjoyable little book definitely can have a huge impact on you and your relationship with your best friend.
