Horse Owner-s Veterinary Handbook

5 stars (Excellent health reference ) - I have several books in my library which cover equine health but this is certainly the most comprehensive. The book is set out in chapters which cover the major systems of the horse - respiratory, circulatory, nervous, reproductive etc Each chapter then starts with a complete explaination of that system and follows with an alphabetic listing of the problems or diseases. There are plenty of clear photos and diagrams and there are two further indexes to help you to find what you are looking for or to cross-reference information. I would certainly recommend this as the book to get, especially if you can only afford to get one health reference book. 5 stars (horse owner's veterinary handbook) - This book will come in very handy and is very simple to understand. I love this book 5 stars (It's a MUST have) - Very informative ... and in plain old english. ...

How to Be Your Dog-s Best Friend- The Classic Training Manual for Dog Owners Revised - Updated Edit

I would definitely order from them again. 5 stars (Best dog book) - Anyone that has a dog or that is getting a dog should read this book it is helpfull in many different areas. they teach you has to treat your dog in the best way. Toniann 5 stars (Clear, complete & concise advice.) - The Monks of New Skete make training and understanding your dog a simple, straight forward journey.

Reef Invertebrates- An Essential Guide to Selection- Care and Compatibilty

5 stars (Great overall book) - Don't let the title fool you, there is quite a bit more information in here other than just that on reef invertibrates. This book, along with my Borneman book Aquarium Corals are the two best in my library and I highly recommend them to every newbie (and experienced reefkeeper) I come across. The only issue that I had is that the binding is not that good and the pages are coming loose. I've thought about hole punching it and putting in a notebook as I refer back to this book often. 4 stars (Good General Guide / Not Shopping Guide) - This is a wonderful book covering most invertebrates. I'll mention that there are no anemones, as that seems to be a purchasing reason for many - maybe that will be part of a future volume on Cnidaria. It goes over groups and give some specifics on particular species. I use it regularly to consult, but be prepared to read through and understand groups of animals as a whole. For example, you might not find that specific sponge at the store to know if it is photosynthetic or not, but you can read about sponges of all types in detail and understand whether or not you should try sponges yet. There is a nice section on refugiums if you are getting interested, that is more complete than any other book I own. 5 stars (Comprehensive, Complete, Easy to Read) - I'm new to coral reef keeping - and have been voraciously reading a dozen+ books on all aspects of reef husbandry. Calfo and Fenner's book on Reef Invertebrates is both a beautiful pictorial of reefs and invertebrates and is a very comprehensive guide to reef keeping water husbandry. I was surprised and amazed at the thorough and complete description of approaches to the essential aspects of reef husbandry. After an introductory section on water quality, additives, tank sizing there is the very best reference I've found on the potential goals and approaches to refugiums. This leads into a beautifully photographic essay on macro and micro algae - givin...

The Art of Raising a Puppy

5 stars (Wonderful Book) - This is a leader of the pack style book and it is excellent. It is informative and well writte. I also recommend the Kilcommon book Good Owner, Great Dog which uses a similar approach with distinct verbal commands as opposed to the universal "No" that this book recommends. Both are excellent. 5 stars (some things i never thought of) - I have had 4 dogs, but i learned some new things from this book, I have never thought of before. Its good. 5 stars (Great book!) - This book is loaded with detailed information necessary to successfully raise a puppy. From the first night you have your puppy away from its mother, to how to train him/her, to how to recognize aggression in a dog's stance, it is a great resource. ...

Dog Owner-s Home Veterinary Handbook

5 stars (Excellent Book!!!) - Wow, excellent book!!! I have had four German shepherds altogether, (now currently three), and I was able to find very helpful information inside this book. I don't know how I've been without it all these years. Of course, it won't replace a veterinarian; however, it does give you a heads-up on what is going on & what a possible remedy would be. So far, it's been very accurate! 5 stars (This book is super!) - I can't begin to say how often this book has come in handy. I have had to look things up for my three dogs as well as numerous friends and their pets. It gives me peace of mind in some cases and has me rush my pets to the vet in others. It's like having a vet right there in the house with you. I love it so much I'm getting more as Christmas gifts for my friends with multiple dogs. 5 stars (Great resource for canine mommies and daddies) - This book is chock full with useful, easy to understand information. I am not a vet or a vet tech and I find this book very "layperson" friendly. It discusses all aspects of the dogs well being, physically and emotionally and also provides links to veterinary organizations and their websites. One of my favorite sections of the book is the step by step guide to trimming a dog's nails and how to avoid the dreadful "quick" vein and also how to take care of a boo-boo if one occurs. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a canine family member! ...

The Cautious Canine

2 stars (Cautious of this book on canines) - I don't feel this book has a workable solution to the problem. It is a method that requires much more than most people can give to the problem. The book is actually a booklet and the cost was too much for what it offers. 2 stars (Nice Magazine Article) - I guess I should have noticed the "29 pages" in the description. It's 15 pages of 8x10 paper folded in half, two staples, and a cover. That works out to 19.83 cents per page. Amazon's paperback "War and Peace" [$10.46] at 1472 pages would cost $291.95 if published by Dr. McConnell. Calling this a book or booklet seems a little much. Perhaps "pamphlet" is a better descriptor. 5 stars ( The Cautious Canine ) - Brilliant little book. Did not teach me anything new in the way of sit, down, stay but gave me a plan to follow with my 2yr old abused, re-homed (for the third time) Rottweiler. With in 7 days and many treats she gave me her first glance when one of her many 'triggers' (other dogs, running children, fast bikes, strange men) came close. A sure sign we were going in the right direction. If you have a dog that will not listen to you while on your walks and lunges for other dogs YOU NEED THIS BOOK! ...

Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals- A Comprehensive Guide to the Use of Essential Oils and Hydrosols

5 stars (Excellent help) - Although the information in this book is new to me, and seems a little complicated at first, it may very well be the help I need for my nervous Terrier. 5 stars (Great read ...) - This is a great book ... very well written and very thoughtfully written. I enjoyed reading it and Kristen Leigh Bell is obviously knowledgeable; I also appreciate that she takes a cautious and conservative approach to usage of EOs in animals. That being said, I bought this book specifically to learn how to use EOs with cats, and learned that you really can not use straight EOs for cats - hydrosols only. So, while that is great to know, had I know that in advance I likely would not have purchased the book. Still a great read. 5 stars (First Rate!) - Since I have three beloved little dogs, I am a person devoted to providing the very best for my little furry friends. This book has been a lifesaver in caring for them. It has given me so many options for behavior and/or health disorders. Kristen Leigh Bell is apparently the "expert" in her field and it shows through and through this book. If you are interested in natural provisions for animal care, I would wholeheartedly recommend this book. Definitely an authoritative guide. ...

Puppies for Dummies

5 stars (super helpful book) - We were going crazy with Lilly, our now 4 month old black lab. I ordered this book, it arrived super fast and it has saved us from complete insanity. It is so packed full of tips and timesavers! I highly recommend it to all new puppy moms and dads! 5 stars (Finally The Help I Needed :)) - I have had dogs all of my grown life and just added another puppy to the mix. Wish I'd found this book years ago. It makes training your puppy to be a great companion a cinch! Great advice. 1 stars (unrealistic) - While it would be great to feed my puppy only holistic dog food, keep him tied to me all day long, and not take him for car rides or leave him alone until he was an adult, it is completely unrealistic. I don't want to raise a spoiled dog, but I plan on playing tug-of-war with him on occasion and even hugging and kissing him before I leave him for the afternoon, against this book's advice. The author also only touches upon some of the most important and basic training info I was searching for by buying this book. Save your money! ...

Oriental Carpets - A Complete Guide - The Classic Reference Oriental Carpets

5 stars (Incredible reference!!) - This book is definitely worth every penny! It goes into great detail on the different types of rugs, the history of the people (from a rug making perspective). There are beautiful pictures of rugs as examples, maps showing both the old names of areas as well as those in use today. The writing style is fun to read (not overly dry). The first 80 mpgs or so are dedicated to the rug and rumaking tself - construction, dyes, design, the people who make them. The rest of the book is broken down into the different areas where rugs were/are made. These sections provide great details on the specifics of the styles of rugs produced by those people, why they use certain colors etc. Excelent excellent book! I'd buy it again in a heart beat. Its a big book so its not so easy to take on a trip but a great book to have at home to read through and learn from. 5 stars (Good!) - A bit pricy but worth it. I bought it to read on my way to the UAE/Bahrain. I was planning on buying a carpet and this went a long way towards helped me to know what I was looking at and what to look for. A great book for the novice and experienced, alike. Everybody wanted to borrow it! 5 stars (The best general book on Oriental rugs for a long time) - With the mass of Oriental rug books that have been published in the last ten years (let alone since the 1960s, when writing about Oriental rugs became the raison d'??tre for collecting them or dealing in them), it seemed almost impossible to hope for a *Good* general book on the subject ever being attempted again - there was simply so much information that had become critical to even a broadly accurate understanding of the subject that one couldn't imagine the surface even being scratched by anything less than a proper ten-volume "Survey". But Murray L. Eiland - one of the authentic Big Daddies of the early Oriental Rug Book Revival - hit on the brilliant idea of taking as a starting point his distinguished...

John Lyons- Bringing Up Baby- 20 Progressive Ground-Work Lessons to Develop Your Young Horse into a

5 stars (Easy Read) - This was very easy to read and extremely informative book. Couldn't put it down until I finished it. 5 stars (John Lyons IS the best horse in the paddock!) - As a professional horse trainer who lives her craft, I give John Lyons a TON of credit for making me the horsewoman I am today. John is known as America's Most Trusted Horseman and I'll take it a step further and call him the guy who writes THE how-to books on training. John's not a bells and whistles kind of guy, just one heck of a great trainer. If you purchase only one book on horse training, I suggest this reasonably priced book that beautiflly illustrates how John builds a foundation of trust and respect. If you are able to apply the basic principles illustrated, you will be able to improve any horse, regardless of age or experience - and I mean that for both you and your horse. The book features 20 progressive ground-work lessons to develop your horse into a reliable, accepting partner. I Give It 4 Hooves Up! 4 stars (Good Book) - I have this book and have used some of the things in it. It's not really what I need for my horse. She's two, really hyper, green and distracted. The instruction in the book is great. I just needed more of a detailed...do this, this might happen, fix it like this...book. I'm new at this. She's the first horse I've tried to train. I've been around horses for most of my life but training is alot different I'm learning. I have a new baby horse on the way though and I know this will be an invaluable resource for training her(or him). Along with Dr. Miller's Imprint Training. I would recommend this book. But I have really found alot of help in Clinton Anderson's new book. With all these books combined my horse and I are doing good and I know we'll both learn alot. It's a good book and valuable addition to anyone's library. ...

Culture Clash

2 stars ("Positive Training" = A Negative Learning Experience?) - I admire Jean Donaldson and her ideas. And what a pleasure it was to read something by a trainer who has a "so what?" attitude toward the "rules" about showing your dog you're alpha. She really sticks it to trainers whose techniques rely too much on the old alpha myth* (which accounts for the two stars, above). But what Donaldson fails to realize is that operant conditioning is almost as big a myth as the alpha theory (which accounts for there only being two stars). One of her main points is that "traditional" training (meaning dominance) creates negative side-effects, which is the main reason I gave up using those techniques years ago (in 1992) and turned to operant conditioning as a possible alternative. What I found, though, is that not all behavior can be learned (or unlearned) through conditioning. I also found that instinctive behaviors tend to override conditioned ones, and that a training system based primarily on food rewards (and by extension, clickers, since their effectiveness is dependant on the association made between the click and being given a food treat) can also create a negative learning experience for a dog. The truth is, food makes for a great inducement for most behaviors, but it's a rather shaky reinforcement. Someone reading this might say: Wait, go back a second. Did you just say that food rewards create a negative learning experience? That's impossible to believe. I mean, after all, it's called positive reinforcement, right? Yes, but "operant conditioning" works best when you use INTRINSIC REINFORCERS, meaning they're directly related to the behavior being learned. And food is not directly related to any obedience behavior other than sitting on command, or to a lesser degree to coming when called. On the other hand, EXTRINSIC REINFORCERS, which is what food usually is, don't work as well. Not only that but, according to the behavioral textbooks, extrinsic reinf...

Dog Training for Dummies

4 stars (Not just for Dummies) - This book was both useful and interesting for old hat dog owners and new ones as well. I initially found it at a friend's house and while flipping through the chapters I decided I needed one for myself. Though I am very familiar with dogs, the behvioural sections helped me get a handle on my new puppies' quirks and demands, particularly the section on typing your dog's profile. They were a new breed for me, and rescues, so I appreciated the explanation of behaviours I was not familiar with. I liked this book enough to send it on to my parents when they recently got a new dog as well. I did not find the homeophatic information very helpful at all, however I don't think the inclusion of that information outweighed the potential benefit of owning the book. 3 stars (Mixed bag) - I thought the parts of this book that talked about training were, for the most part, quite good. The authors give clear instructions and reasons for their practices. For example, don't say "no" to your dog; tell him what you want him to do instead. If he's jumping, say sit, for example. Be consistent. Reinforce commands. Say commands only once. I could give more examples, but you get the idea: sound, sane, and humane advice. The advanced training sections started to lose me a bit. I found them tedious after a while. Although the authors are very experienced with all aspects of caring for dogs, I thought they were reaching a bit with their nutritional and medical advice. They talked about homeopathic remedies as though they're proven treatments. They're not. Anecdotal evidence is not the same as statistically significant results from controlled studies. Their opinion on vaccines seemed dangerous and unbalanced. They have too much confidence in their alternative nutrition and treatment methods -- maybe they have some effect, but they're not perfect. A well-fed dog could still get fleas and infections and communicable diseases. After a while, t...
