Editorial Reviews
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.

Linda Tellington-Jones knows!,

This review is from: Getting in TTouch with Your Dog: An Easy, Gentle Way to Better Health and Behavior (Paperback)
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.

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.

This review is from: Getting in TTouch with Your Dog: An Easy, Gentle Way to Better Health and Behavior (Paperback)
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.
