Resumen del Editor

Dogs are the most social animals on the planet, second only to humans in their ability to read and understand emotion. Even chimps and bonobos, our closest genetic relatives, are no match for dogs when it comes to social cognition.

Jennifer Arnold understands this better than anyone, having spent the past 25 years training service dogs for people with disabilities at Canine Assistants. She is a pioneer in the emerging field of "bond-based" dog training, and her methods have overturned the conventional wisdom, which holds that dogs must learn to obey external cues like "sit", "stay", and "heel." In contrast, Arnold's groundbreaking methodology, bond-based choice teaching, rests on the belief that dogs are social learners, and they can be taught to make choices and interpret what we want from them, as opposed to simply following commands.

Best Book about Dog AND Human Behavior

have read many dog books. this is at the top of my list. Narrator was awesome! learned so much, plus funny, great stories, kept my attention.

Wonderful book truly a new type of understanding and training a dog

To me this is after thousands of years of dogs coming forward to live with humans since the cave days. During all that time we use them as a tool or something for work on the farm. There has never been an outlook of humans and dogs working together not one superior to the other not one beating the other to become submissive this is truly most peoples experience with their dogs a bond that is very strong not some thing on a TV commercial. Most dogs would die for their owners gladly the bond is so strong this is not created by most trainers. This is truly a completely different outlook refreshing and wonderful. If you want a well behaved dog or an assistant dog that your life depends on this is how you create it

Best book I have ever read about dogs. Period.

Must read. I am ex USMC K9 and this book is THE BOOK. I can not recommend this enough.

What a wonderful book.

Thank you for this book. It gets to the core soul of sharing our lives with dogs.

Evolve

If you could sum up Love Is All You Need in three words, what would they be?

Bonding over Force. As I continue to learn and work with my dog - a very, very smart Belgian Tervuren - I am surprised everyday by her willingness to do the right things. She isn't perfect and neither am I. We're a great team.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Love Is All You Need?

There were several. The one that made me laugh out loud was "Quit Acting Like Your Father's People". Having your dog act out or go crazy barking when she's not a barker must be similar to children having meltdowns in stores. It totally fits. There are days. ... :-)

What about Jennifer Arnold’s performance did you like?

Love the southern twang!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Have to give this more thought!

Any additional comments?

I find as my bond gets stronger with my dog the easier it is for she and I to work together. Hang out together - practice walking, playing, stopping, starting, staying and going 'easy'. Despite some of my ignorance when she was a puppy she has turned out great. If I take a deep breath and wait frustration fades and we get back to doing whatever we were doing.

I love her and she loves me right back.

Brilliant!!

With Love & Connection as the anchor, Jennifer Arnold explains how to best educate your dog. Her philosophy is rooted in kindness, respect & trust & it values the dog’s understanding over teaching obedience. I have used this philosophy to raise my dog (now 2) and have been amazed by all that he has learned. I receive many compliments on my dog’s joyful demeanor & excellent behavior, and I credit this book and feel thankful for the positive influence it’s made in our lives! ❤️🐶

changes your relationship with your pup

this is an excellent book. the philosophy is so simple.... I just wish Jennifer Arnold could have offered some tips on using this philosophy with shelter dogs in an environment that is so constantly high-stress.

Wonderful book

I only use positive training with my pups. But even with clicker training- some things just didnt sit quite right with me. This books bond based training method exactly what i have wanted and needed. I'll thrilled to have found it

love Jennifer and Canine Assistants!

I have been blessed by 2 service dogs from Canine Assistants. I don't know how to put into words what both meant and continue to mean to me. They have both passed but in my memories they continue to bless me. Love is what we had!

Love is all you need, the details are in this book

I've read this about 20 times. So much of my life is about dog training these days medical dogs service dogs. This book answers and vividly demonstrates in a scientific yet transcendent way; the NEW HOW, of going from a very good trainer... to a standout SD educator and demonstrating why and how to raise an intelligently disobedient, life-saving, companion.

I'd encourage beginning trainers to read this also.

But experienced trainers; THIS IS A MUST READ GAME CHANGING BEGINNING OF A BETTER ERA IN the underpinnings and philosophy of effective and productive CANINE EDUCATION.

Not to mention this is the best relationship I've ever had with a dog is educating this way. To get the most out of this book, I'd recommend you start with her earliest books and work up to this philosophic paradigm shift. This book will help you understand, part of the future of Canine Assistants Service Dog process.
