The Tao of Bow Wow is not just any dog training book. Part how-to, part primer in the ways of Tao, this unique guide to training and understanding your dog will revolutionize the way owners view their dogs. Not only does veteran dog trainer Deborah Wood explain how the principles of Tao can be used to train your dog in a clear, prescriptive fashion, but she also shows owners how to better communicate with and relate to their dogs using these same principles. Included in this companion designed for easy reference are:

Quick simple instructions for teaching the essential commands for a dog's safety and well-being: sit, stay, heel, down, come and stand.
The best (and the worst) games to play with your dogs.
Dog Qi, true telepathic communication between you and your dog
How to use meditation, massage, and exercise to achieve true peaceful companionship
The Tao of Bow Wow is an essential guide for any animal lover seeking to have a truly profound and joyful relationship with their dog.
