Product Description
Product Description
Improve every aspect of your dog's life and behaviour safely and effectively by learning how to understand the way tensions and blocks affect him. Step-by-step exercises and simple observations will allow you and your dog to break free of nagging problems and enjoy the benfits of better health and a happier relationship. "Unlock Your Dog's Potential" covers a wide range of unique dog management tips and techniques, as well as training advice, including handling and bodywork exercises to improve movement and trainability. Case studies of dogs that Sarah Fisher has worked with appear throughout the book to show how her techniques relate to real-life situations.

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!

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 facinating jig-saw that is dog behaviour and training. On behalf of all dogs and their people - thank you Sarah.

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.
