GentleLake Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Interesting how relevant things show up just when they're needed. Saw an ad for this book today: http://hubbleandhattie.com/books/m-z.html#HH4605 “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, when surgical interventions are planned.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-taken photographs illustrate every chapter, and worksheets enable owners to chart the progress of their dog’s care plan. How to plan for restricted exercise, and how to cope in emergency situations• Guidance on how to identify your dog’s individual needs• Help to identify how your dog is coping in situations• Fun ideas for suitable activities to replace walks• Introducing scent games and food toys to occupy your dog• Detailed description of how to teach tricks and other behaviours• Daily routine planning to include relaxation, socialisation and mental stimulation• Worksheets to create your dog’s individual care plan• Assistance in reassessing your dog’s progress over time• Specially-commissioned photographs help illustrate the points made in the text Don't know anything about the quality of the information in the other books they publish, but lots of subjects like blind, deaf epileptic, CHD, cruciate ligament injuries, arthritis, nose work, etc. It's a UK publisher, so shipping might be pricey. Might be worth seeing if bookstores could get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway61 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 They would like to completely do away with pets. And they euthanize almost all the animals they take in. Better off dead. So far they have euthanized almost 30,000 animals. What will Peta's next movement be, Christians Against Christ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurelin Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 That book looks interesting! Looks like they're doing nosework on the cover. Can't put in enough good plugs for nosework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
