Out of the five-percent trap

Usually, 95 percent of dog training works. However, most dog owners focus on the 5 percent where problems lie. Nancy Wendler and Kai Hartmann show in their book how to turn the focus around and build on one's own strengths and those of the dog – on the beautiful moments where everything feels easy.

In easy-to-implement action steps and playful bonding exercises that combine the 5-basis and subtle guidance, they explain how to build a deep and emotional bond with the dog, based on trust, respect, and affection – and everything suddenly becomes wonderfully easy: human and dog experience joy, enthusiasm, and emotional closeness anew. The dog learns to be attentive, to pay attention to its human's signals, and to bond with them. The release of oxytocin, also known as the "cuddle hormone," strengthens the bond between human and dog and contributes to a feeling of warmth, trust, and connectedness. This deep emotional connection creates an atmosphere of mutual understanding and compassion that enriches the coexistence of human and dog.
