How to Raise a Puppy: Author Turid Rugaas is internationally
renowned and travels globally to promote her books. She is
President of the Pet Dog Trainers of Europe. The unique selling
point is that this book keeps in mind the natural behaviours of a
dog: it recognises that meeting their species and age-specific
needs is key to raising a happy, healthy, confident dog. It is the
first book for puppy owners to really put the dog at the centre,
taking a holistic, welfare-based approach, reflecting the gradual
move in the dog training world to a more natural, welfare-based
approach to living with our dogs. Packed with practical information
on dealing with common challenges. Full colour, packed with high
quality imagery. How to Build a Puppy: Fills a gap in the market
for a book that advises on the physical side of developing and
maintaining a healthy puppy, as well as a rehomed older dog.
There's lots out there on behavioural training, but nothing on this
essential element. People frequently ask 'how much exercise should
I give my puppy?' and this book not only answers that but shows
that there are other better ways to exercise a dog than walking in
a straight line. Without knowledge of dog anatomy and physiology,
people can exercise their dogs in ways that (and create
environments that) have negative and long-lasting impacts on canine
health. Useful and applicable for professionals and owners no
matter what behavioural training technique they use. Robertson's
accessible, light-hearted writing style makes the more challenging
technical aspects easy to comprehend. The many colour illustrations
are a great help in understanding the text and link explicitly to
everyday experience. Should be standard reading for all dog owners,
dog instructors, dog behaviour consultants, dog shelters,
veterinarians students, veterinarians, and all other education's
and organisations that have to do with dogs in our society. For
veterinarians, it gives in-depth description of functional anatomy
and the overall musculoskeletal system, as well as practical
information and illustrations that can be recommended to their
clients, making that part of their job easier.
