This book is written from a dog centered perspective however it also includes Five Element descriptions and stories for humans. This encourages readers to find their own predominant Five Element archetype and learn how it interfaces and weaves together with their dog's element archetype. Know Your Dog’s True Nature is a pathway that gives you a practice run for self-discovery, expansion, and deeper connection. These perspectives will help you understand how each dog and human deals with stress, change, relationship, and aging, both individually and together. 


What sets this book apart from other dog personality books is the distinct way it guides the reader through the jungle of awareness of both dog and dog owners deeply embedded personality traits. Through descriptive stories, gently suggested solutions, tables, and accurate references, Know Your Dog’s True Nature will tickle your heart, mind, and empathy and create a safe and sacred container for your lifelong trek with your beloved companion. 


It also dramatically changes the way people see the larger world around them, fostering unprecedented understanding and patience with other life relationship challenges and the trials of being human. 


As a Five Element animal practitioner for nearly 30 years, Elizabeth has shared this helpful wisdom with clients and friends and has gotten back many reports on how they never look at life, animals, or other humans, the same way. This can infuse a solid dose of understanding when people are struggling with relationship challenges with their animals, family, coworkers and/or the world around them. 


This book will alter outdated perspectives, change and enrich dog and human lives, and reach out into the world to create more connection, one dog and one human heart at a time.

Reviews for Elizabeth Anne Johnson's Book
"What frames our view will also frame our understanding. Elizabeth Anne Johnson provides us with a powerful framework for seeing our dogs in nuanced and supportive ways. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach of 5 Element Theory takes on new life in Johnson's capable hands as she applies this ancient understanding to our dogs. Know Your Dog’s True Nature provides a new framework for seeing and responding to our dogs and dog friends in their golden years. When we know more, when we see in new ways, we discover new options. Johnson's lifetime of experience with dogs and animals of every kind shines through, as does her compassion and healing approach to the journey we share with other species. Highly recommended!"

Elizabeth Anne Johnson Book Reviews
"Elizabeth has written a book that will be a shining treasure for those who love dogs. Five Element Theory is a beautiful and powerful lens through which to better understand all aspects of animal care from health and wellness, training and performance, as well as learning and loving styles. When we better understand our animals, we can see the world through their eyes and serve them best. Elizabeth's book will help us do just that. I am so excited to have her clear voice to show us a new approach to an ancient way toward harmony with our beloved dogs."

Susan Tenney, Elemental Acupressure, International Educator and Practitioner
