From AudioFile:
For those of us who truly believe that dogs are man's best friends, Jennifer Arnold's audiobook cannot be ignored. She narrates the book herself, and keeps the dog-loving listener glued to the earphones with her passion and great respect for canines. Arnold set up a dog charity that retrained unruly dogs and found homes for them--all while juggling the huge bills and debts of her operation, which time after time were settled by nick-of-time donations. Listeners may cry--I certainly did. Arnold's deep love and dedication to dogs is woven throughout every chapter of this audiobook; the listener rides the highs of successes and the inevitable lows of occasional failures--all involving individual dogs the listener comes to know. The fruits of Arnold's works are laid out for all to hear, but do keep your handkerchief nearby--you will certainly need it. B.D.J. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Jennifer Arnold has trained service dogs for people with physical disabilities and special needs for over twenty years. In that time she has developed a unique understanding of dogs' abilities and their as yet untapped potential. By understanding the capabilities, intelligence and extrasensory skills of dogs she has taught dogs to make choices, instead of following commands, and her results have been extraordinary.Through A Dog's Eyes reveals the science behind Jennifer Arnold's remarkable training methods. Based on the belief that dogs are naturally trusting beings attuned to their owners' needs who aim to please, Jennifer Arnold calls for an end to traditional dog-training strategies based on the theory of alpha dominance that is being increasingly challenged by modern science. Jennifer Arnold's choice-based, positive-reinforcement-only methods are based on kindness and respect, founded on scientific discoveries from the work of Charles Darwin, Edward O. Wilson, Rupert Sheldrake and many others.Written with the practical experience of having founded a service-dog school Jennifer Arnold is an inspirational guide for any dog-owner and she draws from her own life, and the lives of the dogs who were her greatest teachers, in emotional, compelling and uplifting stories that are testimony to the training methods she has developed.A heartwarming, captivating read that will forever change the way you see your dog by showing you the way that your dog sees the world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004718459
