Getting in TTouch with Your Dog
by Linda Tellington-Jones Gudrun BraunHighly acclaimed animal expert, LindaTellingtonJones, renowned for her groundbreakingTTouch bodywork with all animals, has finally written a hands-on guide specifically for dogs. The Tellington TTouch Method (TTouch) offers a way to effectively influence the behavior and character of dogs, as well as their willingness and ability to learn. Unlike many training books, the focus is more on improving and maintaining the quality of an animal companion's life, instilling self-confidence so that a mutual relationship can be developed with the owner - a relationship based on appreciation and friendship, rather than on dominance and submission. The Tellington TTouch Method is currently being used by dog owners, trainers, breeders, veterinarians, and vet technicians, as well as in animal shelters around the world. Although it offers a positive, no-force approach to training, it is much more than just a training method: Using a combination of specific TTouches (22 are described in detail), Leading Exercises, and the Confidence Course (exercises over obstacles), a dog's performance and health is improved, common behavior issues are solved, and physical problems are positively influenced. It can both assist a dog with recovery from serious illness or injury, and enhance the quality of the animal's life on a daily basis. In this new book, Linda clearly explains how dogs are helped to overcome many physical and behavioral problems, including: excessive barking and chewing; leash pulling; jumping up; dog-aggressive behavior; fear-biting; timidity and shyness; resistance to grooming; hyperactivity and nervousness; car sickness; hip dysplasia; fear of thunder and other loud noises; and more. A list of common behavioral and physical ailments with the recommended correspondingTTouch solutions is included. Case studies involving different breeds of dogs demonstrate how many owners, some at their wits end, have used theTTouches and the Confidence Course to solve all manner of difficulties, with happy results.

Ghetto Cowboy
by G. NeriSuddenly, something big and white bumps up against the car, and I jump. I think I must be dreamin', 'cause I just saw a horse run by. When Cole's mom dumps him in the mean streets of Philly to live with the dad he's never met, the last thing he expects to see is a horse--let alone a stable full of them. He may not know much about cowboys, but what he knows for sure is that cowboys ain't black, and they don't live in the 'hood. But here, horses are a way of life, and soon Cole's days of skipping school and getting in trouble in Detroit have been replaced by shoveling muck and trying not to get stomped on. At first, all Cole can think about is how to ditch these ghetto cowboys and get home, but when the City threatens to shut down the stables--and take away the horse that Cole has come to think of as his own--he knows it's time to step up and fight back. Inspired by the real-life inner-city horsemen of Philadelphia and Brooklyn, Ghetto Cowboy is a timeless urban western about learning to stand up for what's right--the Cowboy Way.
