Australian Sheepdog Jaden is the reason why author and freelance copywriter Christiane Blenski has spent the last ten years reading and writing about dogs. Her entertaining newspaper columns and books on dog behaviour, training and activities are based upon her broad experience and up-to-date knowledge, and are written in an informal, accessible way. Christiane motivates her readers to improve the bond they share with their dogs, and to be more active with them. She passionately believes that the key to a more relaxed and empathetic way of life between two- and four-legged friends is to correctly translate and understand canine body language. Christiane is a sociologist (Masters degree, University of Oldenburg), married, and the mother of two children.
