Hubble & Hattie

The Hubble and Hattie imprint was launched in late 2009, when its first book was published, and is named in memory of two very

special Westies owned by Veloce's proprietors.Since then, many more books have been added to the list, all of them with the same underlying objective: to be of real benefit to

the species they cover, at the same time promoting compassion, understanding and respect between all animals (including human

ones!).All Hubble and Hattie books have high quality content,

presentation and production, and – because of their competitive pricing – also offer terrific value for money.

Many more publications are planned, so look out for our ground breaking new books about the highs and lows of life with a

feral dog; fantastic fun muscle training for your canine pal, and creating a true and loving partnership with your horse, using kind

and gentle free-will methods.

Helping minds meet – Skillsfor a better life with your dogHelen Zulch & Daniel Mills


Dogs have shared our lives for thousands of years – to the benefit of both species. However, it’s only relatively recently that dogs, in many societies, have lived primarily as companions within the heart of the home.

This close relationship, together with society’s expectations of dogs, can create problems. All relationships have challenges, and where individuals of different species live closely together, these can be magnified, and misunderstandings occur. These can lead to fractures in the family/dog relationship, and, in some cases, result in dogs developing behaviours that are problematic for us.

This unique book, written by professionals in the field, explains how and why many of these misunderstandings occur, and how we can work to resolve them. It aims to help us adjust the way we interact with our dogs, in order to help our dogs be well behaved, whilst at the same time enabling us to enjoy fulfilling relationships and a good quality of life with them.

Beautiful, specially-commissioned images illustrate the text, and worksheets are provided to help owners focus on the areas where their dog and situation can benefit from applying the suggestions made.

By the authors of Life skills for puppies – laying the foundation for a loving, lasting relationship (page 10). Helen Zulch is co-author of No walks? No worries! (page 15)

A unique programme combining clever tricks with fitness exercises, from targeting and exercising specific muscle groups, to teaching useful body awareness skills to your young, old or sporting dog.

Stimulate your dog physically and mentally, as he’s encouraged to actively take part in training supported by the hands-off clicker methods used to teach Gymnastricks. Fun-to-do exercises help keep your dog active and healthy.

No walks? No worries!Maintaining wellbeing in dogs on restricted exerciseSiân Ryan & Helen Zulch


“He’s going to need six weeks’ crate rest; just keep him quiet while he recovers.”

These words – which often form part of the treatment requirements for dogs undergoing surgery, or requiring long-term medical care – can strike fear and dread into a dog-owner’s heart.

Not a lot of advice is available regarding appropriate mental and emotional support for dogs whilst their usual exercise is limited, and owners are left to manage as best they can, which can be stressful for both owner and dog, and can lead to behaviour changes and problems.

This unique book, written by professionals in their field, aims to help owners identify the individual needs of their dog, and, in addition, offer support in preparing their dog for a period of restricted exercise.

Ideas and tips for mental stimulation and emotional support – as well as alternatives to physical exercise and guidance on how to teach specific skills – are included.

Beautiful, specially-commissioned photographs illustrate every chapter, and worksheets enable owners to chart the progress of their dog’s care plan.

Helen Zulch is co-author of Helping minds meet – skills for a better life with your dog (page 9) and Life skills for puppies – laying the foundation for a loving, lasting relationship (page 10)

“Brilliant book which I will be recommending to lots of my clients”

“... one of the most important dog care books to appear for a long time ... I really think every vet should be

stocking this for their clients”

“... well-designed, well-written and full of useful information”

Your dog and you ... Understanding thecanine psycheGill GarrattJust how successful the bond between man and dog is is affected by a dog's ability to ‘read’ us and our moods, so the more we understand about our own behaviour, the better we can influence our dog's responses. The anxieties of an owner can be reflected in their dog's behaviour, and the same is true of a calm, even-tempered owner. Man's best friend needs us to be our own best friend.

This ground breaking book – with specially-commissioned images – will show you how.
