In Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog’s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn’t respond to what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels. And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions. Behan demonstrates that dogs and humans are connected more profoundly than has ever been imagined — by heart — and that this approach to dog cognition can help us understand many of dogs’ most inscrutable behaviors. This groundbreaking, provocative book opens the door to a whole new understanding between species, and perhaps a whole new understanding of ourselves.

Path to Pet Wellness is an enlightening guide for pet parents seeking a spiritual connection with their beloved animal companions through a “whole-istic” approach to animal care.

This informative guidebook introduces pet lovers to the concept that physical symptoms are more than just signs of illness—they are messages from the body, revealing the flow of energy and the deep connection to spirit. By focusing on optimizing BEAM (Behavior, Energy, Appetite, and Mood) and enhancing the overall quality of life, this guide encourages a shift away from limiting beliefs about symptoms, diseases, and diagnoses that often hinder happiness and health. Instead, it advocates for a more conscious, heart-centered approach to pet parenting, integrating the power of love as a healing energy.

Path to Pet Wellness is part of the growing movement toward Animal-Centered Treatments (ACT), aiming to restore the spiritual essence to holistic veterinary medicine and empower pet guardians to nurture their animals with deeper awareness and compassion.
