Cadmos books are written to enhance the well-being of our equestrian and pet companions, and to help everybody who is close to horses, dogs and cats understand, live and work with them better.
It is no wonder that more and more riders are discovering the old tradition of long reining for themselves. It helps the horse to improve his balance and ability to collect without the weight of the rider, and it lends itself well to training difficult movements in a horse friendly manner. Dr. Thomas Ritter explains the correct aids from the beginning through Haute École in practical terms. Thanks to the discussion of frequent mistakes and their corrections, long reining novices and experienced trainers alike can find much new information here. The author’s passion and enthusiasm for long reining are evident throughout. Many helpful tips invite you to experiment!

This book will help you to achieve the best possible relationship with your dog. It explains the best way to motivate, lead and interact with dogs and how to simply enjoy the time together.

Furthermore, findings from teaching psychology concerning the best training methods for dogs are considered –whether the dog learns something new or if the dog’s behaviour has to be corrected. The result is a clear plea for a gentle and positive approach.
Since 2004 in the UK, the Centre of Applied Animal Ethology (COAPE) has been developing EMRA™, a revolutionary and highly successful way of treating behaviour problems in companion animals. EMRA™ is based on emotional assessment of the individual dog or cat rather than the quasi-diagnoses of behaviour problems of old that have often lead to standardised and unnecessarily complicated approaches to treatment. EMRA™ is a practical, easy to use, yet powerful approach that assists the therapist in identifying key emotional aspects of a problem behaviour and the factors reinforcing it, and defines how best to approach precise treatment. It is a kind and effective holistic method that enables the therapist to develop bespoke treatment plans for all common pet behaviour problems, and helps unravel and treat more complex and bizarre challenges far more effectively. Simply by placing how the pet feels at the heart of the treatment, the EMRA™ approach can take the pet, owner and behaviourist on a journey that is always enlightening and often fun and surprising on the pathway to improved behaviour and relationships.
