Book Description
What do fearful, reactive, over-excited, and/or aggressive dogs all have in common? They all have low stress and frustration tolerance. As dogs become more confined to yards, houses, and leashes and their worlds become smaller and smaller, so do their stress and frustration tolerances. Throughout the years of domestication, we've asked more and more from our canine companions. However, we have often neglected the training that needs to come along that domestication and asking dogs to live alongside us. Many dogs have not been taught self-soothing and self-coping mechanisms. A large reason why dog trainers everywhere are seeing shockingly high numbers of reactive, anxious, fearful, and aggressive dogs in recent years. In this brief, no fluff and directly to the point, solution-oriented, easy to follow, and easier to understand book, professional dog trainer and canine educator Natalie Dobkins, walks you through how to teach your dog how to have better self-soothing and self-coping mechanisms. Not only does she teach you how to elevate your dog's stress and frustration tolerance in order to help your dog overcome anxiety, reactivity, over-excitement, and aggression but she tells you why it's important. She also includes several pages of worksheet trackers so you can track your progress as you work through the book! Natalie was the first dog trainer to popularize the term "Tethered Decompression" and brought about a new wave of dog trainers that focused on pattern training this behavior. As Natalie says, "Dog training is a journey, not a destination" so come along on this journey to becoming the dog trainer for your own dog! A more fun, healthy and rewarding relationship with your dog is only a page turn away.

Book Description
This book addresses the unique healthcare needs of adults with chronic childhood illnesses. It presents a model of primary and secondary prevention for emerging adulthood—primary prevention in which all young adults are screened for high-risk behaviors and health needs and secondary prevention in which young adults with chronic childhood conditions are optimized through coordinated care, connections to community resources and social/family support. This book is organized in five parts. Part I provides a detailed overview of the health care transition from pediatrics to adult medicine from both a policy and practice perspective. In Part II, the concept of emerging adulthood as a developmental period is explored and strategies for providing improved comprehensive care for this age group are discussed. Part III reviews specific chronic childhood conditions, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, cystic fibrosis, and diabetes mellitus, and offers clinical cases and summary reports that can be used as a quick guides to each condition. In Part IV, additional clinical considerations that are not necessarily condition-specific but are highly relevant to the care of young adults with chronic childhood conditions are examined. Part V describes the socio-legal issues involved in caring for this population. Care of Adults with Chronic Childhood Conditions provides primary care providers with a new framework for the care of young adults and identifies opportunities to influence patient health outcomes over a life trajectory.

Book Description
There has been significant progress in the field of spinal disorders in very young children over the past two decades. However, the treatment of such conditions remains challenging due to the age of the patient, different etiologies, associated morbidities and the progressive nature of the deformity. Depending on the etiology of the deformity, these children are often cared for by multiple specialists including pediatricians, pulmonologists, pediatric orthopedists or orthopedic spine surgeons, pediatric surgeons, pediatric neurosurgeons, neurologists and oncologists. Health professionals in all of the mentioned disciplines are involved in the management of these patients, which is why compiling a comprehensive text that is not limited to orthopedic specialists is essential. Since the second edition of this book was published, there has been a significant body of literature that has been published and advances made in the care of young children with spinal and thoracic deformities. This new edition will effectively help to standardize the care of these patients. Furthermore, other professionals, such as nurses, physical therapists and healthcare professionals in training, are usually not familiar with these conditions and are in need of a reference book to consult when caring for young children with spinal deformities. Sections are arranged thematically and comprise a comprehensive presentation of the current knowledge on disorders of the growing spine. After opening sections discussing general considerations and patient evaluation and diagnosis, subsequent sections describe the various categories of spinal deformity - idiopathic, congenital, neuromuscular, syndromic, and others - followed by surgical and non-surgical management strategies, both traditional and growth-friendly. Concluding sections address patient care and outcomes and outline future directions for research and practice.
