One Paw At A Time

 

From award winning dog behaviourist, and author of the bestselling book Adore Your Adolescent Dog.

How would you cope if your dog suddenly became disabled after an accident?

This is the situation Jo Sellers found herself in when her beloved dog Reba ran into a tree in her garden in the dark.  She found herself in her worst nightmare, with her dog hanging onto life by a thread, with a broken neck making her body unresponsive.  From that moment, her world turned upside down and she has chronicled her emotional journey from the moment of the accident, the surgical interventions, and the long process of helping her dog heal not only from the physical injuries, but the emotional ones too.

She is an expert in canine separation anxiety, but had never had to nurse a dog back to health before.

Follow Jo through the steps she took to adapt to her dog’s changing needs, how she helped to teach her dog to stand and walk again, and how you can find inspiration from any similar situation of rehabilitating a dog after spinal injury.

“This was such a heartwarming story that really resounded with me as I’ve been through trauma and recovery with a treasured pet myself… The book is about her long, hard road to recovery and the complete devotion of her owner.“

Why Jo Writes (and Trains)

Jo’s books are born from both expertise and experience. After Reba’s accident, Jo saw first-hand how challenging behaviour and recovery can feel overwhelming — and how vital it is to have guidance you can trust. That lived experience, combined with years of professional training, has shaped the way she helps dog owners today: with compassion, clarity, and practical solutions that truly work.

Whether you pick up one of her books or work with her directly, Jo’s goal is the same — to help you turn confusion into confidence and build the kind of relationship with your dog you’ve always wanted. Discover more about her training services
