Story
Living with a reactive dog can accidently create a reactive person and a cycle of negative experiences begin. There is an answer though! With understanding comes positive change. It might not have always been this way; perhaps walking once triggered positive emotion. Maybe we were happy until something specific happened; for example, we met someone with an unfriendly dog that attacked ours or made them really scared. We, too, could have felt scared, then that fear grew over the next few walks, until we felt it the moment we saw another dog in the distance.

Story
Some people are naturally more sensitive than others are. It does not just mean that their reactions are more emotional, but they can also correctly sense the emotions of others. This power is usually called empathy and can be a powerful weapon for dealing with people and life in general if you know how to control it. But if you don't put a leash on it, you can soon find yourself spiraling into a vicious circle of anxiety and depression.

Generations of dogs have been labeled training lemons for requiring actual motivation when all along they were perfectly normal. Numerous other completely and utterly normal dogs have been branded as canine misfits simply because they grew up to act like dogs. Barking, chewing, sniffing, licking, jumping up, and occasionally (just like people) having arguments are as normal and natural for dogs as wagging tails and burying bones.

Scientists are beginning to understand that the diseases affecting humans—cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration and autoimmune disorders—also afflict canines. As a result, our canine companions are vexed with health problems throughout much of their lives and have shorter life spans. Since our pets can’t make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it’s up to pet parents to make smart choices for their dogs’ lasting vitality and health. The Forever Dog gives us the tools to protect our four-legged friends.

Summary
This audiobook isn’t about your dogs, it’s for you!
The Dog Professional’s Survival Guide is an honest and practical, psychological vaccination against the fear of chasing your dreams and the risk of compassion fatigue.
Working with dogs can be mentally and emotionally exhausting. Every single thing we do - and experience that we have - starts first in the mind, and this book is a great introduction to mindfulness, peace, and excellent ideas. If you know how the human mind works and can apply a successful way of managing your own, you can maintain your own well-being, grow your confidence, and ultimately have an amazing future.
Covering topics including social media, mindfulness, and your ultimate resilience as a dog professional, if you let it, this audiobook will change your perspective and your experience of the world. We use a number of approaches to inspire and spur you into action, whether to create another income stream or change your life altogether.
