Sarah has written the book every dog has been
waiting for! And as their companion, it will take you on a journey you will never look
back from. Sarah through words and photos clearly illustrates how simple observations can
tell you so much about your dog and how with this new understanding of each other you can
tackle life together, as a team.
It is a book you will refer back to time and
time again.
A must have book in any owners collection!!
Enjoy.

I would hazard a guess that if your dog could
express a preference this would be the book he would want you to read! It is different to
most other training books - it will not tell you how to teach your dog to sit or lie down
or stay, what it will do is change the way you view your dog forever. It will help you to
communicate much more effectively with your dog - to "read" your dog's body
language and respond accordingly. It will teach you techniques that will build your dog's
self confidence, and enable him to act rather than react to all sorts of situations.
This is a practical training book - techniques
are clearly described and beautifully illustrated. Specific behaviours are dealt with. But
more than that it is about our relationship with and respect for the animals we live with.
If you value that then read this book.

Really excellent book - great layout, top
quality pictures but most of all really sound information how to help a difficult dog or
make the easy dog even happier. I recommend this book to every dog owner and would take my
dogs only to trainers who use this method. Great work!!

This is a must read book for anybody who is interested in
dogs from the pet owner to the professional. Sarah's passion for TTouch and her desire to
discourage us from limiting the possibility for change by labelling behaviour shines
through. This is not a stuffy book that talks down to people. It has beautiful,
descriptive photographs and clear, concise text that makes it easy for anybody who reads
it to step back and look at dogs from a totally different perspective. This book really
helps to fit more pieces into the fascinating jig-saw that is dog behaviour and training.
On behalf of all dogs and their people - thank you Sarah.

- The Book Dogs Have Been Waiting For, 12th November 2007
Carolyn Menteith, Surrey, UK
Anyone who has a dog, should have this book. Anyone who
works with dogs should beg, steal or borrow a copy (or else be forced at gunpoint to read
it!!).
This is the book dogs have been waiting for... a book that
gives owners an empathy for their dogs, an ability to see below the surface, and an
understanding that goes far beyond the labels that many current trendy dog trainers seem
to want to put on dogs... "Oh, she's dominant", "he's an alpha male"
or "she's aggressive" or any one of a whole list of labels that don't help dogs
and their relationship with their people in the slightest.
This is a book that encourages people to look at their dogs
in a whole new light (really look at them) - and more to the point to look at behaviour
and training problems in a whole new light - one that benefits their dogs and also
themselves. This book gives people the skill to see what their dog is telling them every
minute of the day by the way he walks, holds himself, how his coat grows, how he stands,
how he sits and much more. It also very simply explains how people can change behaviour by
working with their dog on these physical issues.
This is a book that will inspire owners and trainers to
study dogs far closer than ever before - and actually see them for what they are. It will
improve the relationship people have with their dogs and inspire a real trust and
communication between the species. If you want to have a true partnership with your dog,
this is the book for you.
It is a ground-breaking book, and one that is destined to
improve the lives of countless dogs. It takes our relationships with our dogs onto a new
and higher level. No one can read this book and look at dogs the same way ever again.

- Buy This Book and Give Your Dog a Treat, 24th October 2007
Work Wonders "Woof" UK
If you want to enhance your communication with your dog and
get more feedback and understanding in your relationship, this book leads you through
assessment of any problems, and shows as well as any book can, what to do and how.
Sarah's work with horses, dogs, cats and other animals and
birds is wonderful, and connects the physical and the emotional in a way that many other
descriptions of canine behaviour and training regimes do not. My take on it is that your
dog finds that you can make him feel comfortable in his body, and thus trust is built, and
he can learn to react more calmly.
This book should be read through before you turn to your
dog, and then assessment is the first step. It is clear and well illustrated and a
thousand miles away from a training manual. Like healing; this is 'hands on', like
physiotherapy; it rectifies the damage to the physical caused by wear and tear or injury;
and as dog lovers want; it focuses the touching we love giving to our dogs into something
useful and therapeutic.
If you are looking for a calm, considerate interaction with
your dog that connects mind, body and spirit (yours and his), this is for you.
If you simply want an obedient dog who is terrified of you,
so toes-the-line, go elsewhere!
