Product Description

Book Description

Based on seven years of working with companion animals and people, this handbook provides tools and techniques for creating an environment in which pets and their owners can happily coexist and thrive. Focusing primarily on dogs, cats, and horses (but relevant to virtually all animals), the book posits a dual premise: healthy companion animals are better equipped to help the humans they love, just as educated humans are better able to comprehend what their animals are about. The goal is to provide pet owners with a starting point from which they can foster and practice deeper interspecies communication.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!, Jul 16 2003

By A Customer

The authors of this book basically think that they are animal psychics. Red alert! Right away that tells you something...their whole book is filled with nonsense about communicating with your pet telepathically and teaching holistic care and feeding. They also talk about herbal remedies, which was somewhat interesting, but, thinking realistically, I wouldn't use them.

Overall, this book has very little substance to it. There was not much at all to be gleaned from it. I knew most of the information already without reading this book. To sum it all up: it was a thin read, and very disappointing at that.

5.0 out of 5 stars New age pet lovers will love this one!, May 6 2002

By	Amisha B. Mehta "amylovesbooks" (Torrance, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a great resource for pet lovers to use in dealing with any behavioral problems their furry friends display. I would recommend it to anyone that owns cats, dogs, birds, or horses - tons of good information on what makes these lovely animals tick.

Based on the recommendations in the book, I bought "Rescue Remedy", and use it every now and then on my little dolls, Gigi and Lulu. It quickly soothes and relaxes them - works great! I wish I'd found this stuff before! This book also discusses bach flower essences, and which ones might be best for your animals, based on their behavioral problems. Gigi used to be a holy terror, and she's become the sweetest cat since I started retraining her.

Definitely check this book out if you are a pet lover! Another great herbal resource to try - prescription for nutritive healing, herbal meds. I will never take non herbal medicine or go to a non-holistic doctor again, if I can help it.

By	"angelkissesforanimals" (Australia) - See all my reviews

I found this book to be a wonderful resource, particularly the Bach Flower remedies. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in natural remedies for animals.
