Winner of the 2015 San Diego Book Awards in the Health and Medicine category and silver medalist in the 2015 Living Now National Book Awards, "Grow Young with Your Dog" teaches you how to help yourself and your dog feel better and move more joyfully. In this book I describe how I have helped dogs heal completely from injuries and surgeries, move well despite arthritis and hip dysplasia, recover from a paralyzing stroke and run and play again after being classified as “too old to recover”. The pioneering system that I created to help these dogs is called Debono Moves. This gentle approach combines the science of neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to overcome injury or disease by forming new neural pathways, with the healing power of love. This potent synergy helps us achieve higher levels of functioning, connection and awareness with our animal companions. Grow Young with Your Dog will teach you how to use gentle contact and supportive movements to • Reduce stress and anxiety • Minimize the risk of injury • Comfort the aging and infirm • Improve athletic performance • Enhance vitality and well-being • Facilitate healing after injury, surgery or illness • Cultivate a deep bond between human and canine • Lessen the effects of arthritis, hip dysplasia and aging One of the unique characteristics of Debono Moves is that it is designed to help you improve right along with your dog. That’s why this book is accompanied by audio recordings of easy-to-do exercises that can help rid you of stiffness, stress, aches and poor posture, while gaining flexibility, better balance and improved coordination. In short, you’ll feel younger. I think of this program as investing in yourself and your dog, because what you do today will affect how you’ll feel in ten or more years. Taking the time to move more comfortably now can reduce wear and tear to joints and muscles in the future. In a nutshell, it’s never too early to start feeling younger. But it’s also never too late to start! Several of the dogs portrayed in this book were at an advanced age with a poor prognosis when I met them. But yet they improved their abilities considerably. These plucky dogs taught me that regardless of age or physical condition, you can improve your quality of life. This is true for humans and canines alike. With this book in hand, you no longer have to choose between spending quality time with your dog and taking care of yourself. As you do the basic techniques with your dog, you may discover that your body moves more freely, your mind is calmer and clearer, and your spirit more joyful. Wouldn’t you like to grow young with your dog? Well, let’s get started!

I have been a bodywork practitioner working with animals for more than thirty years and am familiar with a variety of techniques for bodywork and healing - massage, acupressure, Reiki, Feldenkrais, TTOUCH, SENSE, etc. Fifteen years ago I used Mary’s work with an elderly horse with EPM with excellent results, and that was before the medication from the veterinarian arrived. In her book, Grow Young with your Dog, Mary Debono builds upon the various bodywork techniques she has studied and offers some new and very effective techniques called Debono Moves. I’m always looking for new tools to put in my toolbox. Her book is beautifully and honestly written and shows her love and compassion, not only for the dogs she works with but for their human friends as well. There is careful attention to details, with many footnotes to refer the reader to earlier segments in the book or additional information. Yet, what really sets this book apart is the format – it is organized three learning segments. First: The reader is introduced to the purpose of each chapter through an anecdotal review of a bodywork session with a dog with a particular problem. Seven situations are presented. These are about dogs who suffer from a variety of problems - stroke, difficulty walking due to weakened muscles, stiffness in the spine, a neck injury, continued limping after surgery for a torn ligament, hip dysplasia, and infirmities of old age. Second: In order for the reader to learn how to help his or her own dog, the anecdotes are followed by clear explanations and photographs of some techniques used during the session. Third: There are two options of how the reader can experience the Debono Moves for him or herself. In Chapter Eight there are steps of ten Debono Moves sessions for people. Additionally, the reader is encouraged to go to the website for free recorded Debono Moves audio sessions and almost an hour of video sessions. This book is filled with heart warming stories along with detailed descriptions and many photos of the techniques that have been used in the sessions with the dogs and the people. The steps of all the exercises are clearly explained. How to Grow Young with Your Dog can benefit everyone from a beginner to a trained bodywork practitioner. I’ll certainly recommend it to my friends and clients.

Grow Young with Your Dog Learn How You and Your Canine Companion Can Feel Better at Any Age! Mary Debono 9780990896616 Books Reviews

A friend of mine who is a thoughtful, educated breeder of dogs recommended that I read this book. She said that Mary had really helped her dogs when chiropractic and acupuncture had failed.

I have worked with my dogs using TellingtonTouch and Reiki and look forward to using this technique as well. Right now, I'm still reading but I'm liking what I've read so far. It is an intelligent, gentle book. I've never met Mary but we don't live far from each other. After reading this book, I'm going to reach out to her. (I'm a dog book author as well Scared Poopless The Straight Scoop on Dog Care.) Both of my dogs can use some help with their knees (luxating patellas). Also, one has a congenitally deformed jaw that I'm hoping she can ease. It must be painful.

I'll update my review when I've read further and have been working with this technique a while.
Do we have to accept that as we get older we’re going to feel old and tired? Mary Debono challenges that way of thinking, both for people and their pets, in her book.

A Little About Mary First
Mary Debono is a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years experience in helping thousands of animals overcome physical and psychological challenges. She’s a Certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner who has combined that knowledge with animal bio-mechanics, behavior and training knowledge to create her own technique known as Debono Moves. She’s worked successfully with dogs, cats and horses at her practice in Encinitas, CA and has traveled around the world teaching her techniques in workshops. She shares that knowledge with us in her book and her passion for helping animals and people can be felt on every page.

What Does It Mean to Grow Young With Your Dog?
Mary explains in her book that we don’t necessarily have to accept that we’re going to feel worse or have less energy as we get older and that our thoughts and perception of aging can limit our movements. She connects and communicates with animals through gentle hand contact and movements which can lower anxiety, ease arthritis, heal injuries and even regain movement after paralysis. Debono Moves utilizes neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to form or reorganize new neural pathways in response to injury or disease when other pathways have been forgotten or turned off. Through these movements and exercises, both you and your dog can regain a more youthful state together by using the power of touch and connection.

How Debono Moves Helped My Dog, Haley
Mary’s book has specific chapters devoted to helping dogs with back problems, neck problems, hip dysplasia and of course, the all too common knee injuries. After Haley’s CCL knee surgery last year, I relied on some of Mary’s theories and techniques. Right after her surgery, Haley came down with a severe case of colitis which went undetected until a fever presented itself. She was in such pain for several days that she held her injured knee high and tight to her belly and refused to lower it at all. Once she was feeling better from the colitis, holding her knee up had become a new habit and she was behind schedule in her rehab progress.

Limping around on three legs and constantly pivoting on her good foot was putting a lot of extra stress on her good knee. In order to get her to lower her leg and begin the process of walking on it again, I used gentle touch and pressure on her upper thigh while she stood on three legs. The light but constant pressure helped her relax her leg a little at a time. After several sessions, she finally brushed her toenails on the carpet, then gradually put more and more weight on her leg. Then, I followed up with Mary’s technique (page 88) where I supported Haley while slowly and carefully shifting her weight to all four legs in a circle. The exercises taught her to relax and trust that she could put weight on her leg again. I was so relieved to get her back on track with her rehab. Whew!

The Many Benefits of Debono Moves
If you have an older dog, Chapter 7—Enhancing the Life of the Older Dog, offers practical tips and exercises to help keep your dog moving more freely. But Mary’s book is not just about helping older or injured dogs. It’s about helping all dogs feel younger and more energetic. Active or athletic dogs can benefit from these exercises too and may see a reduced risk of injury and enhanced athletic ability. If you happen to have a reactive or anxious dog, Debono Moves exercises can help reduce stress and enhance your pup’s overall well-being. Chapter 8 is devoted to exercises just for you, but there are also human exercises incorporated into many of the techniques you do with your dog.

One of the most valuable benefits of using Mary’s techniques, is the strong bond it creates between you and your dog. And, while you’re helping your dog, you’re reaping the benefits of touch and relaxation too.

To wrap it up, Grow Young with Your Dog offers practical, easy to understand techniques and exercises that you can use right away to improve the health and well-being of you and your dog. Mary highlights several cases where she’s helped dogs and provides explanations and the techniques she used to get a positive outcome for each dog. The book is well organized so you can quickly jump to the section you need. Each chapter highlights a specific area or problem being treated and includes exercises and key points to review at the end of the chapter. There are plenty of pictures to help illustrate Mary’s techniques.

One of my favorite topics covered is in Chapter 2—Getting to Know Your Dog in a New Way. Mary shows you how to use your hands to feel and learn about your dog’s anatomy. This method of listening with your hands can help you spot potential trouble areas in movement.

Although Mary’s book is ideal for anyone with a senior dog or a dog that’s dealing with a condition that affects their movement, I would recommend it to any dog owner because of the many benefits you and your dog can enjoy by practicing Debono Moves. As a bonus, the book also includes access to additional audio and video files via Mary’s website.
Excellent information that heals the dog and enriches the person in many ways. It reminds me of Drawing with the Right Side of the Brain. Except instead of using a pencil and your eyes, you use your hand and the sense of touch and feel. This approach is another valuable tool in the alternative healing toolbox. I've known Mary Debono and her work for sometime. Clearly written, informative and pleasantly illustrated. Mary lifts the veil and shows us what she does and how she does in an easy to follow manner. An opportunity to learn the anatomy of a dog and by extension our own. As an animal communicator who consulted with her and her person, I personally know the difficulties the Border Collie, Blossom, faced emotionally and physically with serious hip dysplasia at such a young age. The before and after x-rays reveal the positive results of this method in a most powerful way.
