The HeartBond Companion cover

Eight HeartBond Insights

Each one reveals a meaningful way your dog experiences or communicates — and what it means for your bond.

01

A Nose-First World

Your dog and you can walk the exact same block — and experience two completely different worlds.

02

What Tail-Wagging Really Means

A wagging tail is not a single message. It is part of a much bigger conversation.

03

What a Lick Really Means

A lick can look like affection. But context can change the meaning entirely.

04

Why They Sleep Pressed Against You

Closeness can be a language of safety — but connection does not always look like contact.

05

How Dogs Read Us

Your dog is paying attention to you, too.

06

The 3-3-3 Rule for Newly Adopted Dogs

Adjustment is not a countdown. It is a relationship unfolding.

07

Reading the Signs Before a Growl

A growl is often not the beginning of the conversation.

08

Do Dogs Dream?

A paw twitches. Their breathing changes. It's almost impossible not to wonder.

How each section unfolds

The same gentle rhythm, eight times — so every section feels like a new discovery, not the next lesson.

Two ways to make it yours

On screen, or on paper — both make a keepsake.

On screen

Type, add photos, save.

Open the file in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app on your computer, phone, or tablet. Tap a photo frame to add your own picture, type your reflections, and save. Your Companion grows with you.

Browser and preview viewers show the pages but can't add photos — Acrobat Reader is free and takes a minute to install.

On paper

Print it. Write by hand.

Every page prints beautifully on letter-size paper. Print the whole Companion or just the Capture pages, write with a pen, and add printed photos. A gift for a parent or grandparent who'd rather not deal with apps — nothing is lost by choosing paper.

Show us the life you noticed.

A Capture page, a photo, a line you wrote.

Share one moment from your Companion with #MyHeartBond and tag @MyHeartBond. We'd love to see the life you noticed — and other dog parents would too. The pages we love most may appear here, with your permission.

Questions

What exactly do I receive?

A 73-page PDF, delivered by email the moment your order completes. It includes eight HeartBond Insights, eight activities, nine Capture pages with fillable text and photo fields, a founder's note, and a closing reflection.

Is it for a new puppy, a rescue, or an older dog?

All of them. The Companion is about understanding the dog beside you right now — one section is written especially for newly adopted dogs, and the rest applies at every age.

How do I fill it in?

Two ways, and both make a keepsake. On screen, open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader — a free app for computer, phone, or tablet — and type your reflections and add photos straight into the pages. Or print it and write by hand. Reading it needs nothing at all.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes. Forward the download email, or print it and give it as a keepsake. Many dog parents print the Capture pages for a family member who'd rather use a pen.

Is this veterinary advice?

No. HeartBond shares evidence-informed insight to help you understand and enjoy your dog. It never replaces your veterinarian or a qualified behavior professional.

Make more of the time together.

The Companion is $19.99. Available September 19.
