Freddy Worm Christiansen og hans kone Britta Rothausen er adfærdsbiologer, der i en årrække har levet med ulve og studeret deres adfærd indgående. De har desuden gået til træning med dem og skriver i denne bog om de erfaringer, de har gjort med ulve generelt og med deres egne ulve i særdeleshed.I denne bog præsenteres en masse ny og ikke tidligere offentliggjort viden om hundes og ulves adfærd, bla. baseret på forfatterens egen forskning og mange års erfaringer.Bogen omfatter tre hovedemner og handler især om nogle meget store misforståelser, som har betydet, at man har behandlet hunde på en uhensigtsmæssig og hundeuvenlig måde, der har medført unødige adfærdsproblemer, ofte med aflivning til følge.Del 1: Påviser et fejlagtigt syn på aggressiv adfærd.Forfatteren kommer med en enklere og mere biologisk funderet forklaring, som bygger på fænomenet ejerskabszoner, og han foreslår tre enkle koncepter.Del 2: De restriktive lederskabsregler skyldes nogle kæmpe misforståelser, som forfatteren analyserer i detaljer. Reglerne skal forkastes totalt, og han begrunder hvorfor.Del 3: Fortolkninger af hundes signaler har hos hundefolket udviklet sig langt ud over det rimelige. Forfatteren gennemgår nogle af de mange påstande og påviser det manglende grundlag. I bogen kommer han med en række velbegrundede og anderledes forklaringer.

Many horses will, at some point during their lives, suffer hoof problems which, in extreme cases, can cause permanent lameness. So why should outstandingly healthy, hardworking feet be a relative rarity? Performance Hoof, Performance Horse explores the idea that, given the right conditions, healthy hooves are not difficult to maintain and neither do they need much in the way of human intervention, and that the unshod or ''barefoot'' horse can be tough, strong and sure-footed. The book offers practical advice on how best to work with a horse with compromised feet in terms of nutrition, surfaces and exercise in order to restore its hooves to optimum condition. Topics covered include: assessing hooves and hoof balance; the pros and cons of trimming; fixing problem feet and, finally, developing stronger hooves.
