In a book by that name, animal trainer Paul Loeb gives every appearance of loving dogs.
As if that were not enough, he also listens to them as a dog whisperer might; and there's even more to that: They seem
to listen back.
So if you live with a dog, you might take in this big idea,
You Can Reach A Dog At A Distance, Anytime, Anywhere (other animals, too, perhaps even children).
To learn how, read the book and you will moreover get advice
on dog diet that may surprise you and will delight the dogs in your life.
Let them eat what you eat so long as you eat nutritiously, sparingly; your vet might add a discouraging word about
the difference between human and animal dietary needs.
Loeb's method of training seems the basic groundwork
for sound mind, sound body and good communication,
so every reason to suppose it could work on children, too.
