Notre sélection de livres utiles pour mieux comprendre et accompagner son chien

Our selection of useful books to better understand and support your dog

Today, April 23rd, is International Book Day, and we wanted to share with you a selection of books that we consider particularly useful for any dog ​​owner.

Understanding your companion, educating him with kindness, keeping him intelligently occupied, or taking care of him in a more natural way: these books are real resources to strengthen the bond that unites you with your dog.

Better understand your dog

Who hasn't dreamed of perfectly understanding their dog?
To know what he feels, what he expresses, or why he adopts certain behaviors.

Without going so far as to “speak dog”, some books allow us to better decipher the signals, emotions and reactions of our companions, in order to adapt our behavior and strengthen the relationship of trust.

Our recommendations:

  • Understanding What Your Dog Is Saying – Frauke Ohl

  • Dog behavior from A to Z: understanding and taking action – Valérie Dramard

  • My dog ​​has a problem: barking, stealing, running away, aggression, depression… – Christophe Duffo

  • Making Your Dog Happy – Françoise Claustres & Élodie Martins

Training your dog with kindness

Do you want to train your dog yourself or deepen your knowledge of positive training?
These works offer respectful approaches, based on understanding, consistency, and positive reinforcement.

Our recommendations:

  • Positive Education: A Complete Guide – Christophe Duffo

  • My dog ​​has a problem: barking, stealing, running away, aggression, depression… – Christophe Duffo

Keeping your dog occupied and providing mental stimulation at home

Some dogs are bursting with energy, while others need to be stimulated differently during periods of forced rest, convalescence, or bad weather.

These books are full of simple and accessible ideas for transforming everyday objects into genuine mental stimulation activities.

Our recommendations:

  • Brain training for my dog: quick and easy intelligence games – Christina Sondermann

  • Playing with your dog in the house: tricks, games and fun activities – Anja Jakob

  • Making Your Dog Happy – Françoise Claustres & Élodie Martins

Treating your dog naturally

More and more owners are looking for natural alternatives to support their dog's health: natural parasite control, everyday care, food supplements…

These books offer a solid foundation for better understanding and using natural remedies, always in conjunction with veterinary care.

Our recommendations:

  • My bible of natural dog care – Nelly Coadic

  • Natural care for dogs – Françoise Heitz

What food should I choose for my dog?

Kibble, natural food, BARF… it’s not always easy to know where to start.
These books help to better understand the nutritional needs of dogs and to make informed choices for their health.

Our recommendations:

  • Toxic kibble – Dr Jutta Ziegler

  • I feed my dog ​​naturally – Swanie Simon

  • The Benefits of Superfoods for My Dog – Valentina Kurscheid

In summary

Reading is also a way to better love and understand your dog.
At Animalia Câlin, we believe that an informed owner is a more serene owner, and that a dog that is understood is a happier dog.
