A Book Is Born

When I started Way of Life™ Dog Training, I knew that I’d need to write a book one day.

However I quickly realized that I needed to do this sooner rather than later because the way our society is teaching us to think about dogs and their behavior is, well… wrong.

It is hard to believe but here I am finally with a book to share, a book that will help you build a sound bond with your canine, a relationship that will bring you the joy and companionship you both deserve.

THE CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW DOGS ARE RAISED AND HEALED OF BEHAVIORAL ISSUES NEEDS TO CHANGE. WILL YOU JOIN MY PACK ON THIS WORTHWHILE JOURNEY?

Thinking of you, your dogs, and my commitment to seeing you enjoy each other to the fullest gave me the courage and tenacity to see this book through from start to finish.

I know many people just like you that are struggling with their dogs’ behavior, trying with all they have to enjoy a life of ease and joy with these dogs whom they love so much.

Then I invite you to join my Book Pack!

You’ll receive a free chapter from the book, early access to the book as we near the publication date of October 19, 2023, and an invitation to a live Ask-Me-Anything virtual event on pub day!

WHEN I WITNESSED THE CHANGES THAT WERE HAPPENING IN THE DOGS, THEIR PEOPLE, AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS, I KNEW THE MESSAGE OF THE WAY OF LIFE™ METHOD NEEDED TO BE SHARED WITH A BROADER AUDIENCE.

As a long-time academic, writing is nothing new for me. It’s always been part of my job. This book, however, is different. It’s the work of my heart—something I know without a doubt will change lives. I am exhilarated that I will finally be able to speak truths about our relationships with dogs that many have been waiting to hear.

In brief, behavioral issues are solvable if we’re open to a new way of thinking and a new way of living with our dogs. Everything from anxiety to reactivity stems from way of life and what the culture has taught us about raising dogs and living with them. And just as our way of life is responsible for the angst that many dogs currently feel, so too can that way of life be the source of their happiness and healing.

We have power and choice in our way of life. We have it in our hands to change how we live so that our dogs can change. My book sends an empowering message to dog owners with issues big and small—or no issues at all! Its message applies to dogs of any age and behavior, of any breed and background.

Whatever your relationship is with your dog, it can be better. Take the first step with The Way of Life Method to understand the root cause of our dog’s behavior and heal your bond with your canine.

Having owned rescue dogs all my life, I consider myself a fairly proficient dog owner. My mantra has always been it just takes patience and love. And while those ingredients are important, I wish I had known the wisdom shared by Souha Ezzedeen in her book The Way of Life Method. Her method of raising dogs versus training dogs just makes so much sense. After reading this book, I feel incredibly empowered to build a solid relationship with my newest challenge, a 10-year-old mini Aussie who came to me with many issues. Whether you are a seasoned dog owner, a new dog owner, or simply an animal lover, read this book. You will learn so much. It is a fascinating read, full of the author's firsthand experiences with dogs and plenty of scientific backing.

It’s refreshing to see a book about dog behaviour that does not focus on training but reveals a deeper understanding of their psychological condition and needs. The Way of Life Method shows the importance of understanding a behaviour from the dog’s perspective in order to correct it. Dr. Ezzedeen’s straightforward approach is designed to build a foundation of trust and confidence for our dogs to enable them to live their best lives. All dog lovers should read this book.

The conventional ideas of dog training are exclusively focused on reinforcing and modifying behavior, and they are quick to label a dog's behavior as characteristics of its personality, breed, or past experience. This book takes the dog out of the behaviorist petri dish and challenges people to build a relationship with their dog in a way that aligns with a dog's nature and instincts. The result is that you no longer have to teach the dog what to do or not to do, the dog just knows.

If you dream of a better relationship between you and your dog, read The Way of Life Method. It will revolutionize how you think about your dog and yourself. By going deep to the root cause of behaviour issues, then giving a step-by-step progression to resolution, this book will lead you both to a place of understanding, respect, and joy: the bond you always wanted.

AUTHOR BIO

Souha Ezzedeen, Ph.D., is a university professor, dog trainer and coach, founder of Way of Life™ Dog Training in Ontario, Canada, and author of the book The Way of Life Method: How to heal your relationship with your dog and raise a sound, strong, and spirited companion (at any age). Souha draws on nearly two decades of diverse experiences with dogs. As an academic with expertise in management and organizational behavior, Souha is a behavioral scientist, has a curious mind, and loves research. When she faced challenges with her dog, Maya, Souha dove deep into a theoretical and practical study of all things canine, a study which soon became a passion and a calling to help dog owners and their companions develop stronger relationships.

In addition to training companion dogs of all breeds and ages, Souha has experience volunteering walking and fostering rescue dogs, boarding challenging dogs, and working through challenges with her own dogs. Souha has also been active in dog sport since the beginning, including sheep herding, obedience, and scent work, learning to develop both stability and drive in her dogs. Today, Souha’s goal is to share all she’s learned about the human-canine bond with people hoping to achieve a more harmonious life with their dogs.
