Each chapter has engagingly written stories about Mary’s work helping specific dogs overcome the effects of stroke, arthritis, hip dysplasia, torn ligaments, aging, anxiety and stiffness. These dogs – many of whom were considered hopeless cases – demonstrate that improvement is possible at virtually any age or condition.
When Mary Debono was in her late 20’s, she suffered from a variety of aches and pains. She had bi-lateral carpal tunnel syndrome that resulted in nerve damage, a very painful hip, and stiffness in her back and neck. Although more than two decades have passed since that day, Mary feels younger now than she did back then.
Feel and look younger by improving your posture and flexibility. Some of the exercises can even be done while you are sitting.
How did she do it? Studying a variety of approaches, Mary spent years exploring how to feel and move more youthfully. As a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner for the past 20 years, Mary learned that when we stay stuck in our habitual ways of thinking and moving we get physically get stuck too. We develop sore muscles and stiff joints. We hesitate to explore new activities. We become limited in our thoughts and limited in our movements. In short, we feel old.
To grow younger, Mary released the habits that kept her stuck in unhealthy patterns, and she learned to think and act in different ways. She discovered that attention to our sensations and movements can help us function more effortlessly, even when faced with aging, arthritis or anxiety.
In Grow Young with Your Dog, Mary pulls back the curtain and explains how this unique approach has helped hundreds of dogs and their people enjoy a greater quality of life. In addition to describing twelve basic hands-on exercises to do with your dog, Mary guides you through ten human exercises. These gentle exercises can reduce stiffness, stress, aches and poor posture, while enhancing your flexibility, balance and coordination.

“This book is truly incredible. Debono includes real life experiences of how she has helped dogs with her amazing methods, and relates them back to how you can help yourself and your dog feel better! If you purchase the book, you will get free online access to audio and video of several very helpful exercises. My favorites were the video on Hip and Shoulder Circles (for Wynston’s agility body!) and the audio on easier sitting…because I sit a lot. The videos make it easier to grasp the concept of the exercises and the audio is nice because you can perform the exercises while listening.” – Amanda Yantos, blogger Dog Mom Days.

“I have a 15-year old terrier mix who was has very arthritic hips after a fall down a flight of stairs. His tail had been locked down close to his body and he walked with great difficulty. He often fell over because he was so unbalanced.
“I have performed the exercises daily on my dog (and on me, as well) and am happy to report that Duffy gets better with each passing day. This morning he even ran down the hall with his tail in the air!
“I love that this book approaches healing by combining the mind, breath, muscles and nerves. The rhythmic movements trigger a response in the nervous system that opens a pathway to healing, helping the muscles re-learn how to move correctly again after months of compensating for pain.
“There is nothing so fulfilling as hearing your pet breathe a heavy sigh when his muscles relax and release under the gentle touch of your hands. This book and Mary’s methods are truly a gift of love.” – Cheryl Sanborn, Los Angeles, CA
