Across fourteen chapters, Sit, Stay, Grow explores how dogs can inspire us to have fun, teach us to tackle difficult questions and help us see things from different perspectives.

"Angelika von Sanden has taken the ACT approach and, with a great combination of humour, playfulness and artistry, channeled it into a fun, practical and easy to read book for building a better life."

by Angelika von Sanden

Sit, Stay, Grow is an invitation for every dog lover to see with new eyes, enjoy some moments more and learn from and with their dog.


Sit, Stay, Grow is as well a book for all who experience stresses in their lives, have to make difficult decisions and are at times hooked into looping, worrying though about themselves and the world.


It is illustrated by Claire Orrell, making it a beautiful and meaningful gift!
In fourteen easy to read chapters in a language without professional jargon, I have packed my expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and experiences made.

It is full of metaphors, dog stories and insights I have gained and developed
working for more than half my life as a social worker/therapist/counsellor with hundreds of people. I have helped them to worry less and live better by being present, unhooking from painful thoughts, taking new perspectives and making choices based on what truly matters to them- often with the help of their furry friend. My approach is always non judgmental and self empowering.

​

With a four legged trusted companion by the readers’ side, it will show how dogs can help you worry less and walk into a better future.

The book is published in the US, UK and Australia and available for order here.
