Dog in the Mirror is God: A scientifically spiritual approach to treating human and animal behaviour problems - Hardcover

by Gaby Dufresne-Cyr (Author), Marilou Léger (Photographer), Nancy Ackerman (Editor)

From science to spirituality, the book discusses quantum physics, psychological projection, mirroring, and behaviour modification protocols as an overall approach to change human and dog undesirable behaviours to desirable ones. Dog in the Mirror is God is an interspecies self-help book for professional animal trainers and dog owners who wish to address behaviour problems in a more practical approach. The text is easy to read and contains images to understand certain concepts.

Interspecies attachment and imitation are introduced to complement the self-directed learning process. The author presents case studies taken from her client database. Although names were changed, the authenticity of each case remains the same. Follow Boreal, Ginger, Scooby, Jake and their caregivers as they explore the challenges of improving their dysfunctional relationships into symbiotic partnerships.

As the book progresses from universal energy theories to social-cognitive learning, the author takes the reader on an interactive journey. Self-reflecting questions on emotions such as fear and anger confront readers and persuade them to introspect on their human-dog relationships. The author introduces the SCAT model and offers written exercises to guide the reader to grasp the proposed material better.

The book contains passages from A Course in Miracles to facilitate the quest for inner and outer peace. Enjoy humoristic references along the way and thought-provoking quotes from scientists and spiritual leaders. A Dog in the Mirror is God is a refreshing new view on dog and human training that serves the umwelt philosophy.
