Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Whilst her Tellington TTouch Method offers a positive, no-force approach to training, it is much more than just a training method: using a combination of TTouches, Leading Exercises, and the Confidence Course (exercises over obstacles), a dog's performance and health are improved, common behaviour issues are solved, and physical problems are positively influenced. Linda clearly explains how dogs can be helped to overcome problems such as: excessive barking and chewing; leash pulling; jumping up; dog-aggressive behaviour; fear-biting; timidity and shyness; resistance to grooming; hyper-activity; nervousness; car sickness; hip dysplasia; fear of thunder and other loud noises; and more. A list of common behavioural and physical ailments with the recommended corresponding TTouch solutions is included. Case studies involving different breeds of dogs demonstrate how many owners, some at their wits end, have used the TTouches and the Confidence Course to solve all manner of difficulties, with happy results.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Whilst the horse world is rich in descriptions that tell us what horse and rider should look like, we lack good information about exactly how to produce the desired results. Good horsemen ride well without knowing how they do it, and without understanding why you are not like them and cannot do it too.During 23 years of research it has been Mary Wanless's personal mission to expose the secrets of horsemanship, breaking down riding skills into 'bite-size chunks' and finding ways of describing them that work for average riders. By using the learning strategies given here the rider should discover how to connect with the horse in a way that makes sense to him and enables him to carry himself well, in self-carriage. At the same time the techniques aim to offer the rider security, stability and effectiveness in the saddle. This title sets out to simplify Ride With Your Mind methods and to provide a basic tool-kit for the acquisition of a truly independent seat in walk, trot and through transitions, on straight lines, turns and circlesand, importantly, how to make corrections when things don't go exactly to plan. Mary explains how to use the hands, legs and body correctly, and gives the ingredients for perfect contact. In each section, the instruction is backed up by practical self-tests and exercises to ensure success, and there are ideas for troubleshooting during the learning process and in the future.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Kiernan, Lydia (illustratore). If only horses could talk.- the truth, astonishingly, is that they do; and gifted healer Julie Dicker has been conversing with them for years. In What Horses Say, Devon-based Julie Dicker describes the process of healing and communication to writer Anna Clemence Mews. The result of which is a ground-breaking book that will open up new pathways in communication for horse lovers - and will appeal to anyone who wants to enrich their relationship with animals. Written with clarity, wisdom and compassion, and with a foreword by Joanna Lumley, it is impossible to read What Horses Say and not see horses, and indeed all animals, in a new and different light. Poignant case studies - backed up with factual corroboration by vets and other professionals - include incredible success stories where other avenues have failed. Even more intriguing is that the authors believe this art of deeper intuitive communication between horse and human is dormant in every individual. Developing it can transform the lives of animals in our care and bring incredible rewards for us and for them. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Everyone involved with horses wants them to consistently behave well and perform to the best of their ability and knowldge. But, as is all too well known, many horses simply do not cooperate, and this is because they are not motivated to do so. The "On Target" training system aims to change their attitude. The "On Target" method of training combines the basics of clicker training with a step-by-step target system that assures training success for horses of any breed or any age. Clicker training initially motivates a horse to perform correctly because the handler rewards him every single time he does what is required. Later the horse will come to associate the sound of the clicker with an upcoming reward, so the rider can "tell" the horse that he has performed correctly without having to stop and immediately give him a treat. This frees the rider to continue the movement he/she is performing while communicating to the horse that he is doing it right.Target-training takes reinforcement of correct behaviour a s tage further. The "target" is a tool - either fixed to a stationary object such as a fence or held in the trainer's hand - that the horse learns to focus on completely. Because the horse is motivated to perform well to gain his reward, he can be trained to happily follow the person holding the target. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
