The Bach Flower Remedies are one of the world's best-known and most popular types of natural healing therapy. Any dog owner can quickly learn to master this safe and effective system, to help the dogs they love with a whole range of problems - from puppy hood to old age. This practical, informative book will introduce readers to this fascinating and valuable form of therapy and take you on a guided tour of each of the 38 remedies Dr Edward Bach created in the 1930s, giving you a wealth of information that will last a lifetime and allow you to provide healing support to all your canine friends now and in the future. The Bach remedies are a gentle, safe but powerful way of easing mental stress, worry and emotional problems in your dog. This book is written by people who know what they are talking about. Most books currently available on the subject of Bach remedies for animals are not written by animal experts, and contain a lot of misinformation that is transparent and obvious to readers who know animals well. Nobody, apart from these two authors, is currently writing on the subject from such a well-informed standpoint. It differs from our popular book "Dogs Misbehaving" in that it focuses purely on the 38 Bach remedies rather than a mixture of other remedies from other collections that are less readily available and often more expensive. While the other book is also a dog-training manual, this book focuses on using the remedies preventatively from when a puppy is first brought into the home, right through its life to old age. No other book offers comparable information on how dog owners can help themselves with Bach remedies in order to prevent stress and unhappiness in their companion canines. Lastly, no other comparable book has a Foreword by one of the world's most prominent and respected names in Bach flower remedies, Julian Barnard.
