From Publishers Weekly
Animal bodywork expert Linda Tellington-Jones's latest offering is Getting in Touch with Your Dog: A Gentle Approach to Influencing Behavior, Health, and Performance. Tellington developed the Tellington Touch Method (TTouch) throughout her 40-year career working with animals. Here, she offers a way to effectively influence dogs' behavior and character, as well as their ability to learn. The guide enforces mutual respect between dog and owner, stressing a relationship based on appreciation and friendship rather than dominance and submission. By using a specific combination of Touches (there are 22 altogether) and performing exercises, Tellington insists dogs' performance, health and behavior can improve.

From the Publisher
At last, Linda Tellington-Jones has written a book specifically for dog owners, trainers, breeders, and veterinarians. Although the internationally acclaimed animal expert is widely known for her work with horses, her Tellington TTouch Method has proven enormously effective with all kinds of animals, from elephants and cockatoos to dogs and cats. Now she shows dog lovers how to use her Tellington TTouches, leading exercises, and obstacle courses to improve their dog¹s behavior, trainability, and overall health. The Tellington TTouch Method can help remedy, for example, excessive barking, chewing, leash-pulling, fear-biting, and shyness; it¹s also therapeutic for dogs with hip dysplasia, arthritis, and other physical problems. In Getting in TTouch with Your Dog, the author has presented a wealth of information in a clear, accessible format, including problem lists with their corresponding TTouches and exercises, abundant color photos, and helpful case studies featuring a variety of breeds. Linda Tellington-Jones¹ books include Getting in TTouch, The Tellington TTouch, Improve Your Horse¹s Well-Being, and Let¹s Ride with Linda Tellington-Jones.

Customer Reviews

Linda Tellington-Jones knows!
I will graduate as a TellingtonTTouch Practitioner in July 2003. Please do not think that this will predispose me to think well of this book. I think well of this book because I _know_ it works. When I first started this training, one of my dogs was a lunging, snarling maniac around other dogs. This training has made all the difference!

The book presents the TTouch method in a clear, logical way that any animal owner can use. I have used this method, with great sucess, on dogs, cats, & ferrets.

The wonderful "meet them where they are" & "not expect anything more than they are capable of" philosophy honors the animal and the human.

I would recommend this book to any one who wants a deeper connection with their animals.

Most HELPFUL Book I've Bought!
This book not only has good insight to dogs needs but illustrates the tTouch. It very much compliments the tape on this same subject.I'm sure happy I got it. So are my 3 dogs.

Informative Book
This is a simple guide book for dog owners who are interested in learning some easy hands-on techniques to help calm their pet. The information was easy to follow and my dog loves to be petted using these techniques.
I learned the basic philosophy after reading the book once.
