5.0 out of 5 starsthis book is a must if you really love your pets,
By A Customer on June 21, 1998
Format: Paperback
This books content is out of this world, taking you further than any book i have ever read. I could not put it down from start to end. One of the questions i often ask myself is does my dog really know just how much i love him. After reading lindas book and trying the ttouch i got my answer. Yes he does and the feeling is returned ten fold. Thankyou linda

2.0 out of 5 starsGreat ideas but totally inadequate instruction
By Michael McKee on February 5, 2007
Format: Paperback
As a sales pitch for Tellington Touch, this book is great. As an instruction manual, it is totally worthless. Complex gestures such as those mentioned in the book need illustrations that take one step-by-step through the manipulation process. There aren't any, just a few photos that show one stop action part of the whole.

It did get me to take a T-Touch workshop, which was beneficial for my old and arthritic dog. The process works. The book doesn't.

4.0 out of 5 starsA great method for working with animals
By A Customer on September 10, 1999
Format: Paperback
I have applied the methods in this book to various cats at a homeless cat shelter. It is a lot of fun and the cats really like it too. The book has many fascinating stories of how Tellington developed her methods and how she has applied them to an incredible range of animal species.

4.0 out of 5 starsAn inspiring book
By Joyce on September 25, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Tellington-Jones, now in her 70s, has been connecting to animals all her life. Born Linda Ann Hood, she rode horseback to school in rural Alberta, Canada for the first six years and taught riding at age 13. She and her six siblings were famous at horse shows where they became known as the "Riding Hoods." Her grandfather, whose credentials included training racehorses for Czar Nicholas II in Russia, taught her a system of equine massage he had learned from Russian Gypsies. His influence and training plus her natural brilliance and experience with horses gave Linda an amazing ability to communicate with all animals. She married Wentworth Tellington and later Birchell Jones, both of whom were skilled horsemen. Both marriages were partnerships in riding, teaching, and equine research and publication. The couples won many awards and became well-respected experts.

In 1975, Tellington-Jones began training with Moshe Feldenkrais and combined his human bodywork method with Russian horse massage to form the now famous Tellington Touch Method. This book is about using that method with any animal. Moreover, it is a beautifully written, fascinating, and wondrous story of her experiences with all kinds of animals -- farm animals, wild animals, animals in zoos, and with fish, birds, and even reptiles -- as professional consultant and in her personal life.

Author Barry Lopez says: "What we do to animals troubles us . . . and our loss of contact with them leaves us mysteriously bereaved." Tellington-Jones has made that contact and masterfully demonstrates how we might as well. She approaches animals as complex emotional beings with whom we can live in mutual trust. In response, the animals are healed of physical pains and problem behaviors. Tellington-Jones also experiences intuitive communication with every kind of animal.

I thoroughly enjoyed this inspiring book.

4.0 out of 5 starsMakes Sense
By Bethany S. on April 6, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have found that animals get de-sensitized to basic petting and affection. I tried some of these techniques on my pets and it works. My pets really fight for my lap and attention. Highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome early book on Tellington-Jones TTouch methods
By BRos on May 8, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Although there are subsequent (expensive, color, hardback) spin-off books on individual animals, this is the one I keep buying and giving to friends and vets. It's a great re-read for me as well.
