Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tender Paws takes a deep dive into the practical benefits of applying therapeutic parenting best practices to dogs in our care. When Wendy Lyons Sunshine got her first puppy—abandoned behind a gas station, struggling with worms and anemia—she was in over her head. As puppy training guides failed to help her with the out-of-control, traumatized bundle of teeth and claws rescue pup, she turned to her work helping world-class child development experts. Could strategies for raising happy, well-adjusted kids transfer to a puppy? As it turns out, yes, they can! From the first try, parenting wisdom transformed Sunshine’s relationship with her challenging little one. Soon enough, Sunshine’s view of her puppy shifted from one of adversity to one of compassion and understanding, and she was able to bring patience and therapeutic concepts to meet her dog’s needs. When Sunshine reached out to experts, they affirmed that science-based principles used with at-risk children align well with best practices of holistic, positive, and progressive dog handling. Exploring parallels between human and canine research, attachment styles, history of trauma, parenting styles, and her own “inner child” proved a mindful path for pet parenting. Far from a standard dog training manual, Tender Paws explicitly applies parenting wisdom and best practices used with special needs kids to a cross-section of scenarios, from recognizing developmental trauma and unmet core needs, to making decisions about appropriate equipment, to responding to difficult behavior, to understanding the parenting style from which we approach our dogs. Sunshine empowers you and your dog by offering: A synthesis of the fields of child development, attachment, trauma, sensory integration, neurobiology, learning, animal behavior, and ethology. A problem-solving framework that makes dog training decisions clearer and behavior frustrations easier to resolve. Parenting wisdom to help your dog move beyond trauma and into wellness. Borrowing the principles of parenting for dogs feels obvious to some people: instinctive and ordinary and inevitable. But that’s not true for everyone, especially those of us who had a less than ideal childhood and bear the scars of early harm, loss, trauma, or deprivation. Tender Paws provides an interdisciplinary, comprehensive, evidence-based guide for readers who want to honor the needs of—and improve outcomes for—puppies and dogs they care about.

Book excerpt: Top feline behavior expert (and author of Penguin's bestselling Think Like a Cat and Cat vs. Cat) answers the 150 questions most often asked by puzzled cat owners. Even those of us who have lived with and loved our cats for decades are constantly stymied by their seemingly inexplicable acts, or have questions about why they do what they do and where they do it, and how we can get them to not do it. Here, in one complete authoritative guide, those elusive mysteries are solved. Why does my cat lick my hair? Why does the cat only want attention when I'm on the phone? How can I introduce my cat to my new dog? How can I get my cat to like my new husband?? No one knows cats like Pam Johnson Bennett, whose pioneering thirty-year career as a cat behavior consultant has changed the way cat owners and experts alike view cats. Her books are bibles, but her fans and owners still flood her website and social media platforms with questions on topics that perplex them. Catwise combines the questions that come up most often with answers to help you solve your cat's behavior problems (or head them off before they start), or simply improve the relationship you have with your cat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the man who knows how to fertilize houseplants with Jell-O and give someone a dry shampoo with Quaker Oats comes the first book of pet care tips that tackles everyday pet illnesses, quirky behaviors, and animal smells and stains by tapping into the power of brand-name products. The ever-inventive Joey Green presents fun and offbeat remedies for a wide range of pet troubles, from bad breath and skunks to hot spots and ticks. Who would have guessed that ChapStik stops a nail bleed or that Listerine can quell itching? Why not forego expensive and toxic flea sprays and use Dawn dishwashing liquid or Johnson's Baby Powder as a treatment instead? Even though these tips sound quirky (use Smirnoff vodka to clean your pet's ears?), they really do work because many brand-name products contain soaps, degreasers, emollients, and moisturizers to soothe, clean, dissolve, and heal quickly and safely. Joey Green's Amazing Pet Cures makes a great gift for pet lovers and is a practical guide for anyone looking for simple and easy shortcuts to live the good life with a pet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can I do to make my pet more comfortable when he or she has to cope with pain, illness, or a chronic condition?” “How can I improve my pet’s overall health?” I can’t begin to tell you how many people have asked me these two questions during individual consultations and workshops. At times, their requests for information have compelled me to search for more effective answers than I was able to provide at the moment. For that reason, I’m very grateful to my clients and students since they’ve often piqued my curiosity to learn much more about topics I might never have researched any further on my own. Because of their queries, while I was writing my second book, Pets Have Feelings, Too!, ideas were already swirling around in my mind for a third book—a “how to” book that would help as many pet parents as possible by answering those two questions, and more. My dream was to compile information, all in a single book, about as wide a variety of healing modalities as I possibly could. However, the single book quickly grew so large it soon developed into a series of three books. They’re all published under the umbrella title For Pet’s Sake, Do Something! and they’re each about how you can help your pets heal and enjoy optimum health every day. I first discovered the importance of “doing something” myself when one of my own dogs seemed to be giving up on life. At the tender age of two, my Shih Tzu, Chop Chop, was in severe pain because of hip dysplasia and a pinched nerve. He spent hours lying with his eyes fixed on the horizon as if his life had no more meaning for him. I felt I’d most likely have to make a decision soon to give him the final respite he was looking for. Meanwhile, I was both desperate and discouraged because there didn’t seem to be anything more I could do to help him. He’d already been seen by two different veterinarians and each one had given him only a bleak prognosis. Not only that, but medications were no longer able to provide the hoped for relief. It seemed he was very close to death, and the next day, I would probably have to make a final decision for him. That night, all I could do was to lie beside him on the floor, crying buckets of tears, but at least I was keeping him company and comforting him as best I could. I’d known, ever since I was eight years old, about the special intuitive gift I had, but at that moment, my gift for being able to talk with animals was the farthest thing from my mind. I was unable to think creatively or sense anything intuitively at all. What happened next, though, as I lay on the floor beside my precious pet, feeling utterly miserable and totally helpless, would be one of the greatest lessons I would ever learn. As clear as day, I heard Chop Chop say to me, “You call yourself a healer . . . so do something!” At first, I had no idea what I could do to bring him any other relief. In fact, his words played over and over in my mind for awhile before their meaning even became clear to me. Finally, with a flash of insight, I realized there was something more I could do. I’d been using the technique of Cosmic Healing Energy to help people for some time, but I’d never before thought about using it to help pets. However, now that Chop Chop was prompting me to be an active participant instead of a helpless bystander, I set aside my sense of desperation and immediately began sending him healing light energy. I not only sent him healing light myself, but I also asked the angels, saints, sages, and healers of all space, times, and dimensions to join me, as well as guide and help me be an effective transmitter of Spirit’s ever present healing light and love. Even when I consciously thought I was finished with the treatment, my hands intuitively kept moving as if they knew exactly where to touch, press, and pull. When the flow of healing energy stopped, I thanked everyone for their help and was filled with gratitude and reverence. When I went to bed that night, it was with the confidence of knowing I’d now been able to “Do something” positive for Chop Chop’s highest good, regardless of what the outcome might be. What happened the next morning was nothing short of miraculous. He stood up on all four legs and shook his mane! He hadn’t been able to do either of those things for quite some time because his hind quarters had been paralyzed. Within a week of receiving regular healing treatments, he was completely back to being his normal self! Most of you won’t ever be faced with quite such an extraordinary situation, and it’s important to realize that not every spiritual healing treatment brings about a physical cure as this one did, but you will have many opportunities in everyday life when your pets need healing help in a variety of other ways, too. That’s why it’s been so important to me to write this series of books—to empower you to be an active participant instead of a helpless bystander. By implementing some of the healing techniques I’ve shared with you, you may be able to help your pet maintain optimum health, manage more comfortably through chronic illness or pain, or even recover from a serious illness or injury. This third book of the series is designed to provide you with guidelines for using alternative and complementary methods of healing. Many of them have a long and successful history of use, and many, that at first may seem to be unconventional, are actually scientifically supported. Some you’ll be able to use right away after reading about them, while others will require study or further research on your part in order to use them correctly. You’ll also learn about various healing modalities a professional can provide for your pet. The topics we’ll cover in this third book of the series include: • Flower Essences for restoring spiritual balance to help relieve both physical and emotional symptoms • Essential Oils that quickly and effectively transport oxygen and nutrients into every cell of the body for physical and emotional healing • Homeopathy—a healing system based on the principle that like heals like • Magnetic Therapy, Reflexology, and Massage for pain relief, relaxation, reducing anxiety, and promoting overall wellbeing • Sound, in its many different healing forms, which serves as a bridge between body, mind, and spirit • Color that can influence how a pet feels and behaves • Crystals as an effective means for focusing healing energy • Incense fragrances for healing emotional and behavioral imbalances • Animal Communication and the importance of healing at every level—spiritual, mental, and emotional—to bring about lasting physical healing • Acupuncture and Acupressure to eliminate blockages in the body’s energy system • Chiropractic to correct misalignments in a pet’s body • Hydrotherapy to promote healing in a weightless environment Another chapter you may find helpful shows you how to pre-test remedies before you buy or use them. Using the techniques I’ve described may help you discover ahead of time whether or not a certain modality is the right one to use for your pet, or this type of pre-testing may save you from spending money on something that wouldn’t be beneficial for your pet. It’s also important to know how pets age, what emergency kit supplies to have on hand and first aid procedures to use, as well as how to provide for your pets when you’re no longer there, so I’ve included chapters about these topics also. If you’re able to ease your pet’s pain, or provide a better quality of life by implementing any of the healing techniques described in this book, or in any of the books of this series, the time and money you’ve spent will be well worth it. My teacher and beloved animal friend, Chop Chop, finally did pass on at almost fourteen years of age, but what he asked me to do, when he was only two years old, touched not only our own lives, but also the lives of many other pets and pet parents as well. Though he and I were both on the verge of giving up many years ago, he taught me that I didn’t have to be a helpless bystander and that I could “Do something!” I hope you’ll “Do something” for your precious pets, too! Remember, we can’t always do great things in life, but we can do small things with great love. This is exactly the lesson our animal friends teach us—whatever you do, do it with unconditional love. * * * You can learn more about the contents of each book in the series by turning to the Epilogue at the end of this book. You can read Chop Chop’s entire story in Chapter 1 of my first book, What Animals Tell Me. You can also learn how to use Cosmic Healing yourself in Chapter 6 of Book 1 of the series For Pet’s Sake, Do Something! How to Communicate With Your Pets and Help Them Heal. Sometimes, my clients will ask if I still use Cosmic Healing to help people as well as pets. Many years ago, I did, but there are so many animals who need my help today that I now devote all of my time to working exclusively with them. Dr. Monica Diedrich
