I created a Soul Touched by Dogs Bookshelf

The “Fur Baby Book” was so much fun to write that it sparked the idea to write a story for each of my dogs 😛

If you enjoyed My Fur Baby Wrote This Book, stay tuned for more ..

So, to be prepared 😛, I called the new page on the website “Books” and that in turn sparked the idea to include books by past podcast guests, summit speakers or masterclass experts.

Check it out at https://soultouchedbydogs.com/books

Would you leave us a review, please? 🙏

If you’ve ever checked the reviews before buying a book, you know that they matter.

So if you’ve read the Fur Baby Book (or at least checked out the free preview), please consider leaving a review (at whichever Amazon site you purchased your copy).

It would mean the world to the Pawthors and help get the book into the hands of more Souls Touched by Dogs.

So much so that I’m offering a thank-you gift ..

If you leave us a book review and email me a screenshot to anke [at] soultouchedbydogs [dot] com by October 20, 2024, you’ll receive free access to ALL expert masterclasses I’ve hosted so far and will until the end of 2024:

Soul Touched by Dogs LIVE Masterclass

Join us for

"Know Your Dog's True Nature through Traditional Chinese Medicine's Five Element Archetypes" with Elizabeth Anne Johnson

24th October, 7 pm Europe (6 pm UK, 1 pm ET, 10 am PT)

(HERE is what time that is for you)

You might remember Elizabeth Anne from a recent podcast episode.

In this masterclass, you'll learn how the Five Element Theory, traditionally a Chinese medicine approach, applies to understanding and supporting canine personalities.

Elizabeth will explain each element—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—detailing the traits, behaviors, and needs of dogs corresponding to each element, and how that will help you improve the relationship to your dog(s) and the dog's wellbeing.

You'll walk away with practical tips and new insights to help you give your dog the best life.

This week’s Pawsome Human: Joanne Burton - ACE Free Work - The Power of Giving Your Dog Choices

In this engaging episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Jo from Paw and Order (don’t you just love the name?!) Noosa, based in beautiful Queensland, Australia.

Jo shares her inspiring journey into the world of dog training, initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic with the innovative Animal Centered Education (ACE) Free Work method developed by Sarah Fisher.

We discuss the principles behind ACE Free Work, a technique that uses different sensory stimuli and environments to help dogs feel safe, relaxed, and naturally expressive. Jo delves into the practical aspects of setting up free workstations, recognizing individual dog needs, and the incredible benefits this method brings, especially for reactive dogs.

By providing dogs with choices and observing their behaviors, caregivers can build stronger bonds, enhance trust, and potentially uncover hidden health issues. Jo's ongoing educational journey with Sarah Fisher aims to bring this unique approach to dog training in Australia, and she shares insightful advice for both novice and seasoned dog caregivers.

If you’ve heard about ACE Free Work but aren’t quite sure what it’s all about, this one is for you ..

Grab a cuppa and join a delightful conversation (and yes, please like and subscribe to help the baby YouTube channel grow 🙏)

Paws to Heal - 3 Secrets to Reconnect With Life After Losing Your Dog with Miranda Wimbush

The impossible just happened

The pain of losing your dog is so raw, so intense

It feels like you just had your heart ripped out of your body

And when you ran from that pain, and avoid it, it only intensified

And the more that you isolated yourself

Tried to deny that it happened, blame others or yourself

The more painful it got

You’re tempted to get another dog to help ease your suffering…but deep down you know that wouldn’t really help unless you heal your heart first.

My friend Miranda Wimbush is here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way.

The secret to healing your heart after losing a dog is to use it as a catalyst to allow yourself to feel again and to get back in touch with the simple beauty in life.

Is it possible to move through grief with grace, honoring the connection you had with your dog and healing your heart so that you can fully connect with and welcome a new dog into your life?

Yes, it’s possible. And no, it’s not easy.

And it's going to feel impossible without some support along the way.

I’d like to invite you to join Miranda’s masterclass, Paws to Heal, on Tuesday, October 22 at 10 a.m. Eastern.

This is for you if you are grieving a loss or an impending loss of a dog, or if you have recently adopted a new dog and still are missing your old one.

Are you a canine professional?

A trainer, coach, behaviorist, nutritionist, holistic vet, or other canine expert with a holistic, kindness-first approach?

Would you like to be a guest on the podcast? Do you know someone you think would make a great guest?

Is your business ready for an upgrade to lift the limits on how much you can earn, without working even more, or hiring a big team?

Go (or send them) to https://soultouchedbydogs.com/pros

Check out the Shop

How about a mug with a picture of YOUR dog, for your morning coffee or as a gift, using the proceeds to sponsor dogs in need and help the people who help dogs?

If you’d like one, hit reply and let me know.

Send me a good-quality photo of your dog and I’ll create the design and send you a link where you can purchase it.

They get made to order so it takes 10-12 days to arrive. €15 + shipping.

(Shipping depends on where you are of course but will be somewhere around €5-12. I’ll check for you before I go and create the design, so there won’t be any surprises)

Get your Soul Touched by Dogs t-shirt
