The Highly Sensitive Dog
The Highly Sensitive Dog, 2nd edition
making life easier for these wonderful dogs
Around 1 in every 6 dogs is highly sensitive:
* easily excited
* easily overwhelmed
* emotionally sensitive
Highly sensitive dogs are found in every breed and in mixed- breed dogs. This is a normal personality trait that has a genetic basis. It is not a disorder, although behavioral disorders are more likely in these dogs.
Highly sensitive dogs make wonderful companions by virtue of their sensitivity, but they do require some accommodations.
This book briefly explains the science of sensory-processing sensitivity and offers some practical strategies that make life easier for these wonderful dogs, and for ourselves in return.
