Review

Interspersed with heartwarming stories of how sound therapy has helped other animals, Through a Dog's Ear will help your canine to a relaxed life. -- animal wellness, April/May 2008

From the Publisher

"Through a Dog's Ear opens a new world of harmony for our devoted companions... and helps us understand our responses to sound, stimulation and music for the creation of a healthier environment for dogs and their human family."- Don Campbell, author of The Mozart Effect and The Harmony of Health.

"The human is not the only species to enjoy and derive many health-benefits from music, as Through a Dog's Ear documents. Thanks to this book there is yet another dimension of auditory appreciation and communion that we can share with our dogs."- Dr. Michael W Fox, DVM, syndicated columnist and author of Dog Body, Dog Mind.

"Music therapy for animals and creating healing soundscapes for the home and veterinary clinic is long overdue. I cherish this work as a harbinger of the deepening awareness on the part of humans about the creatures with whom we share our lives."- Narda G. Robinson, DO, DVM, MS, FAAMA, Colorado State University, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences

"This book and cd are music to my ears! I have envisioned a healthier sound environment for animals for years as part of an integrative health care approach for our kindred spirits."- Allen M. Schoen, MS, DVM, author, Kindred Spirits and Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing.

"I highly recommend this book and CD to anyone living with a dog with stress/anxiety problems. It provides a calming energy to dogs in homes, shelters and boarding kennels."- April Frost, author of Beyond Obedience.

"This book shows the impact of our over-stimulated world on both humans and our dogs, and gives us the tools we need to help lower the decibels, make change, and create healing." - Carol Komitor, Founder of Healing Touch for Animals®

"Through a Dog's Ear gave me goosebumps as I was reading it because I could sense how important it was. Joshua Leeds, Susan Wagner, D.V.M., and their musical collaborator, Lisa Spector, have truly shed much-needed light on a whole new aspect of animal welfare. A must-read for all dog lovers!"- Karen Porreca, Library Director, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

"This book and CD provides me with very important new tools to solve some of the most difficult problems that confront our canine companions."- Susan B. Fireman, Canine Behavior Consultant

"A dog came in that needed to be under our care for the day. He was barking incessantly while in his kennel. We put on "Calm your Canine Companion" and he very quickly stopped barking and remained quiet during the remainder of his stay."- Dr. Laurie McKinney, DVM

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book and great CD, April 1, 2008
By 
This review is from: Through a Dog's Ear: Using Sound to Improve the Health & Behavior of Your Canine Companion (Hardcover)
Since adopting a rescued dog with separation anxiety, I have come to know a lot of the canine soothing strategies and music. This book is filled with fascinating information about how both dogs and humans respond to the sound in our environment. The CD Through a Dog's Ear is my favorite of the 10 or more canine soothing CDs I now own. Not only do the dogs seem to enjoy it, every person who has heard it has commented on how relaxing the music is. I rotate through my other canine soothing CDs, but this CD stays in the CD player all the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD!!!, March 5, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I love this CD! And so do my dogs! Wow, its so great. Very relaxing music, so I can enjoy listening to it too. Within 20 minutes of putting this in, all three dogs - even the hyper puppy - are laying down and chilling (: And believe me that is a rare moment in a house with 3 dogs.
What a great tool for problems like separation anxiety too. I can't wait till they come out with more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Through a dog's ears, April 8, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Since we have been using this cd my dog's are calm when we come home after a long 8-9 hours at work. In the past they were restless and tense waiting for us. They got into things and seemed lonely. Now they are peaceful and calm. They only start to get excited after we are home. This sure beats giving my one dog a doggie prosac to keep here calm to help her separation anxiety.. The trick is to put it continuous repeat all day.
