Understanding dogs, what they are, and why they do the things they
do, gives an insight into what makes them tick. Understanding how
they are affected by the things we do enables us to train, and live
with, our pets more effectively. These are the "Dog Secrets" that
your dog wishes you knew. There is no mystical "secret" to training
dogs, as professed by some dog trainers. Dog training and owning
can be perfected through simple yet effective methods that are well
known to science. Illustrated by real life examples of how they
have helped others, Dog Secrets explains how understanding these
methods can make you a better dog trainer and have a more rewarding
relationship with your dog. David Ryan spent over twenty-five years
as a police dog handler and instructor. He has a post graduate
diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling and is
Certificated as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist. He works on a wide
range of problem dog behaviour cases on referral from veterinary
surgeons.
This is the true story of a young dog that was raised in a feral
pack of over twelve dogs, living in dreadful conditions with little
human contact.
When they were discovered they could not be approached. However,
two of the smaller dogs were able to be caught with a catch pole.
The remainder of the dogs were euthanised.
The two captured dogs were taken to a larger rescue centre where
they remained for a month, but no one could do anything with them.
A death sentence then hung over them. Christine was called upon to
assess them. After spending time with them she knew that they would
not be able to be re-homed in the normal way, but there was
something about them that touched her deeply and she decided to
take them into her home, in the hope that she could rehabilitate
them.
So began a journey following the dog's rescue. Join Christine
and share the joys, the heartaches and the highs and lows on this
emotional roller coaster of events.
