September 2023Intestinal Health for Dogs
Recognizing the Symptoms - Understanding the Context
by Maike John-Sauerstein
Diarrhea, flatulence, intestinal rumbling or vomiting - these are alarm signals that make every dog owner alarmed. This book provides a lot of important information to correctly interpret the symptoms and identify the affected organ. For example, smacking is a signal that the dog is experiencing too much stomach acid. Often, inappropriate food and stress are the reasons. Once the triggers of certain clinical pictures have been identified, remedial action can be taken. It is therefore advisable to analyze the components of the diet in detail and to identify possible problematic components. It may then be possible to find a diet that puts as little strain as possible on the digestive system. For allergy sufferers, a way can be found through special food to make intestinal rehabilitation possible. Natural remedies, such as those based on herbs, can also be used to promote healthy intestinal flora. However, it is not always possible to achieve a cure. Chronic disorders can, however, be alleviated and thus a life worth living can be achieved for the dog as well as his keeper. * The weak points of the esophagus and stomach* Heartburn - fire alarm of the esophagus* Licky fits - dreaded leakage attacks* When the pancreas is weak* Problem zone intestine* Diarrhea: Quick help when it's urgent* Parasites that make life difficult* Healthy intestinal flora - the most important thing in dogs* Intestinal rehabilitation - how does it work?* Preventing diseases through feeding* Remedies for stomach and intestines

September 2023Talk to me, Dog!
Understanding Body Language - Preventing Misunderstandings
by Christiane Jacobs
Dogs communicate very finely through their body language. Major behavioral responses are foreshadowed by small, more inconspicuous signals. Learning how to read and interpret these cues helps assessing a dog's emotions, needs, and motivations. This book provides the vocabulary of dog language and teaches details that dog owners may never have noticed before. It empowers them to read their dog regardless of individual physical characteristics such as floppy or prick ears. That's because there is no one rule that says, "If the left ear goes forward, it always means such-and-such." Rather, all physical details must be considered and included in the overall situation to assess the dog's behavior. With many illustrations, typical body language details can be recognized and interpreted. By the way, the illustrations were drawn by Daniela Barreto according to exact specifications by Christiane Jacobs. LEARN DOG LANGUAGE - so that misunderstandings can be avoided! * Basics of body language* Body language in detail* Play among dogs* Dog encounters* Reactions to different forms threat* Good to know

September 2017The 50 most common Mistakes in Horse Training
... Because they don´t know what they do!
by Barbara Welter-Böller, Maximilian Welter, Claudia Weingand
This book demystifies many a myth and shakes up beliefs! If you believe that the trapezius muscle is responsible for hollows in the saddle position, that the horse lifts the shoulder when bent, that a foaming mouth is positive, or that cavaletti training gently strengthens the abdominal muscles, you have fallen for three common training fallacies. Don't worry, you're not alone. In horsemanship, people have been invoking old riding masters and knowledge from the Baroque or ancient times for centuries. That's perfectly fine - if you can supplement and question this knowledge with modern insights from anatomy and sports physiology. Equine osteopath Barbara Welter-Böller, veterinarian Maximilan Welter are interviewed in this book by Claudia Weingand on the typical claims around riding, lunging and training and clear up dusty knowledge. * Why horses should not be ridden every day.* Why a custom saddle can prevent back muscles from recovering.* Why stretching posture does not wear out the forehand.* Why the horse does not raise the shoulder when bent.* Why horses should not be ridden every day. * Why walking work is not necessarily good for the horse's back.
