Written with the layperson reader in mind, Such Small Hands explores how our current pet culture exists in a state of contradiction and dissonance, how this condition fuels an underlying feeling of despair across the culture, and what can be done to remedy the situation in order to achieve safety and well-being for animals and the humans who care for them. Seeking a cultural shift in the treatment of companion animals, Certified Canine Behavior Consultant & Certified Professional Dog Trainer Rain Jordan provides a brief history of aversives and a primer on the philosophy and practice of anti-aversives in animal training, handling, and care.
