The Bond

This show is about all aspects of the powerful bond that exists between people and their dogs --- exploring what goes into that loving relationship for both species, and how to enhance and expand it in training and everyday life. Tracie's co-host Sarah Wilson is “the Dog Expert” because of her 25 years training people and their dogs, during which time she had nine best-selling books published and earned a masters degree in the human-animal bond.

Oxytocin & Canine-Human Bond

The Bond (05-11-2015) #4: Sarah Wilson has been talking for years about the role of oxytocin in the canine-human bond — that brain chemicals are connecting and reinforcing our mutual attachment to dogs, on both ends of the leash. A recent New York Times blog by Jan Hoffman titled “The Look of Love is in the Dog’s Eyes” http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/04/16/the-look-of-love-is-in-the-dogs-eyes/ has widened awareness of the phenomenon, and confirmed what Sarah has known all along!
