This is a list of books I recommended on holistic methods for dogs. By purchasing from here you help Weimaraner Rescue, so please buy directly from these links, as I don't get credit for what you buy from Amazon's homepage. Thank you.
I understand this list of books is long, but I've tried to include as many different modalities as possible and books of different levels to suit different needs. Please note that some books might not be strictly directed to animals, but I recommend them as very interesting reading for anyone interested in a healthy life and the same principles may apply to our dogs. Also, please note that some of my recommendations are not strictly about holistic methods, but other topics that I deem fundamental to a sound dog. If you're new to this and don't know where to start, please join the Holistic Weimaraner Mailing List, we'll be glad to answer your needs. I have marked with those books that I personally highly recommend and I find a MUST HAVE for the beginner as well as the more advanced - it may or may not agree with amazon's rating, nor does it mean that I do not recommend the rest (if this were the case, they wouldn't be here), it's simply a reference for a starting point. I have also included recommendations from other people on the list, and a list rating on some of the books. Those that people on the list already have read, are rated from 1 (extremely useless) to 5 (extremely useful/excellent). Dolores Sánchez-Peñalver

 

The list of books has gotten so long that I've decided to separate the following sections in different pages - please use the links to move to other sections:

Bach Flower Remedies for Animals by Helen Graham, Gregory Vlamis.

*****Recommended by Laura*****
I like the Bach flower book "Bach Flower Remedies for Animals" by Helen Graham and Gregory Vlamis. It is a bit more user-friendly than others I think.

The publisher, Karin Bogliolo , April 26, 2000
Be gentle with your pets and animals Millions of family pets as well as farm animals, often physically fit and healthy, are destroyed, killed or put to death every year to give human companions peace and rest from incontinence, unruliness, excessive noisiness, aggression, possessiveness, destructiveness or other problems. A behavior problem often becomes a 'terminal disease'. Indeed euthanasia for behavior problems is the main cause of death in young animals, and many people regard it as a treatment. The high cost of veterinary attention also means that many animals are discarded or neglected by their owners. The price of animal and human suffering and the cost of welfare services are incalculable. They are also avoidable. Correcting the behavior problem often saves an animal's life as effectively as surgery or other medical procedures, and greatly reduces the suffering of all concerned. This does not require expensive behavior therapy or extensive behavior modification on the part of the owner. It can be brought about in many cases quite simply and inexpensively through the use of flower essences. This books offers descriptions of each of the 38 Bach Flower Remedies, with their application in the treatment of a range of domestic animals, including horses. It also describes diagnostic symptoms, animal by animal, together with appropriate treatment regimes, illustrated with case material obtained from veterinarians animal behavior specialist, psychologist and health practitioners. Other important and helpful areas discussed are: • emotions in animals and their influence on behavior • the emotional bond between animals and humans • the pros and cons of considering animals in human terms • the principles of flower remedies and their suitability for use in the treatment of animals The book also includes a list of systems of healing with flower essences other than Bach Flower Remedies and a list of sources of flower remedies.
