Another doggy book. I will have other animal books again eventually. But under the .rtf section of the website, and has been read, and I fixed all spelling errors and removed all junk I could find which there wasn't a lot.

We can all reciprocate by being mindful of the Canine Golden Rule: Treat your dog as you would like to be treated, and use theTTouch method to reshape your dog's behavior with kindness and understanding. You will find it carries over in your attitude toward your family and even yourself. It encourages you to open your heart to embrace a happy, healthy relationship with your dog, as well as members of your own species. LINDA TELLINGTON-JONES Highly 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.
