COSA POTETE APPRENDERE DA QUESTO LIBRO Quello che state per leggere e un libro pratico. Illustra in termini chiari e semplici cio che il proprietario di un cane ha bisogno di sapere per preservare la salute del suo animale. Presenta le domande che i proprietari di cani sono piu soliti fare e fornisce risposte nel modo chiaro e conciso che un veterinario utilizzerebbe se le stesse domande gli fossero poste direttamente. Lesperienza dimostra che i proprietari di cani non sono solitamente interessati ai dettagli tecnici non essenziali legati alle informazione di ogni genere sul loro animale. Il proprietario di un cane e per lo piu interessato a capire cosa fare e come farlo. Se la domanda riguarda lalimentazione, per esempio, e piu interessato a sapere quali cibi servire e quanto spesso farlo, piuttosto che la quantita di grassi, proteine e carboidrati che i cani necessitano. Se il suo cane ha le pulci, il proprietario vuole sapere come liberarsene, senza doversi sorbire infiniti discorsi riguardanti lefficienza di vari prodotti insetticidi. Se il suo animale e malato, vuole soltanto sapere come agire, e non leggere testi sulla natura e i principi della malattia. Ai fini di una maggiore sicurezza, sa bene che e inevitabile imbattersi in discussioni di tipo tecnico, quindi non si oppone al loro sporadico utilizzo qualora siano collocate in modo adeguato nel testo. Daltro canto, riconosce che quando questi dibattiti sono portati agli estremi, si trova impantanato in uneccessiva quantita di dettagli in cui le semplici informazioni riguardo cio che dovrebbe fare vengono sotterrate da uninterminabile massa di prolissita che non e in grado di decifrare. Lintenzione di questo libro e illustrare dati di fatto riguardanti la cura dei cani che siano alla portata di tutti, in modo tale che il lettore riesca a individuare direttamente le risposte a ogni suo specifico quesito. Di conseguenza, questo libro si connota come unopera fattuale. Al suo interno non troverete storielle piacevoli o aneddoti commoventi. Nessuna discussione sui collegamenti tra cani famosi e arte, letteratura e storia. Troverete, pero, cio che ce da sapere per prendervi cura del vostro cane. Il libro non e stato creato per essere letto e messo da parte. Dovrebbe divenire un comodo manuale di riferimento da utilizzare ogni qualvolta se ne presenti la necessita. Supponete che il vostro animale vomiti. Il titolo Vomito, e presente allinterno della guida di pronta consultazione dei Sintomi. Vi bastera sfogliare fino alla pagina indicata e leggere le informazioni sul cosa fare, sul perche farlo e poifarlo! I quesiti esaminati nel libro sono quelli che i proprietari di cani pongono ogni giorno. Sono gli stessi che si sono sempre posti e che probabilmente continueranno a porsi per sempre. Le risposte sono fornite in modo da mettervi in condizione di agire immediatamente alla luce dei fatti, sicuri di star facendo la cosa giusta. È pero importante capire che questo libro non vi rendera dei veterinari. I limiti che determinano cio che un principiante puo realmente ottenere senza un supporto professionale, sono enfatizzati piuttosto nettamente. In ultima analisi, la preservazione della salute di un cane deriva dallazione cooperativa del veterinario e del proprietario dellanimale, allo stesso modo in cui la salute di un bambino dipende dal medico curante e dai genitori. Il libro indica chiaramente i ca...

The tides of dog ownership are changing, and thanks to Hollywood A-Listers like George Clooney and Sandra Bullock and music icons like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, animal rescue has become as fashionable as the latest Valentino or Armani. Millions of ordinary Americansheroes one and allhave opened their hearts and homes to rescue dogs, and fewer abandoned pets are euthanized in the U.S. than ever before.

Learn how to train your dog correctly from the start and how to curb bad habits quickly! Become a dog whisperer! Every dog owner has challenges in training their dog or dogs and, more importantly, in breaking bad habits. In fact, outside of the enjoyment they provide us, dog behavior is a major concern, even for owners with well-behaved canines. With some owners, the behavior goes beyond merely concerning and enters into the realm of problematic and even dangerous. Better Dog Behavior and Training: Correcting and Curing Bad Habits addresses the concerns of both those who just got a puppy and those with dogs in their senior years. It shows the owner and dog trainer how to master dog training through positive reinforcement, including addressing aggressive behavior, while resorting to more drastic measures only when absolutely necessary. The author, Charlotte Schwartz, is a dog behaviorist who specializes in dog training and behavior modification. She provides her insights, gleaned over decades of work, regarding how to train dogs from the beginning, how to address bad habits and developing habits, and how to make sure the dog knows what behavior is acceptable in certain settings and what is not. In the book, you will learn: *How to train the dog from puppy through their senior years *How to address dangerous or bad habits *How to escalate training safely if initial training is not working *Tips on controlling animal behavior in a safe but effective manner *Advice on solving everyday, recurring behavioral issues *How to encourage good behavior from your dog while discouraging bad behavior *Why dogs do what they do, what motivates them, and how to use that to get the behavior you want to see from your dog *What to do if your animal is particularly stubborn or develops bad behavior later on in its life. With a candor not often associated with dog training and a realistic approach to modifying problematic behavior or instilling discipline in dogs, Schwartz has put together a common sense, easily read and digested manual for anyone who owns a dog. Even if you have a senior dog who is developing some behaviors that need changing, this book can help you teach that old dog new tricks (and behavior).
