After reading the reviews of this book I expected it to have detailed, informative illustrations/photos & instructions to explain how to massage and stretch out your dog. There are plenty of illustrations, more than expected, but they don't really provide much insight or specifics on how to give my pet an effective stretching or massage session. I took the book with me to agility class and asked the instructor to look through the book and indicate which of the stretches in the book she would recommend, and only a few of the stretches she had suggested to us were included. Those stretches are great, but what was disturbing is that she warned against doing a few of the stretches in the book for fear of causing future problems. So I would caution you to have the vet or another professional look over the stretches included and recommend which are truly beneficial for your dog. For the stretches that are good, the book is helpful to help you remember what you need to do after having been shown the exercises.

LOVE this book!!!
It has helped so much with our dogs being more peaceful..they actually will lean into us while we are working on stretch moves, to let us know they enjoy the stretch!
The book has Excellent illustrations which are super easy to follow so as to make sure you are stretching your pet correctly.
Our cats love it too!!
GREAT BOOK FOR ALL SERIOUS DOG OWNERS!!

This book is a GREAT source of information. Easy to use the techniques & pictures shown in the book. We have 3 older labs that love the massage and stretches. It has made a big difference in their pain level and mobility. Thanks to Raquel Wynn for this Awesome information.

This book is long overdue. Starting puppies out with these stretches can minimize some of the problems that develop as they age. One of our senior dogs suffered from digestive issues and pancreatitis from a very young age. The information is this book might have helped calm some of her distress during severe attacks, especially the calming points and chakra information. Raquel Wynn did an excellent job in writing simply and compassionately. The photos showing the techniques are great. Providing quality of life for "pet-children" at any age is a goal of most pet-lovers. Thank you Raquel.

Wish this had been out years ago. It is an excellent resource for anyone who loves their dogs. Our older dog is now the beneficary of this, but the younger ones are so lucky that we are starting this now.
