How to Raise a Healthy, Happy Dog

Together, these two books will help you raise a puppy who is both physically and mentally healthy and happy. How to Build a Puppy shows how to make some very simple changes to your homes, activities and exercise regimes to have a massive positive impact on your dogs life. How to Raise a Puppy moves away from the outdated approach to training, focused on obedience and control, and instead takes an holistic, dog-centred approach. Drawing on research into how dogs naturally rear their young, and how dogs have evolved to behave and spend their time, it supports a new way of sharing our lives with our dogs. It also offers advice on dealing with some of the common challenges people experience with puppies. Two much-needed resources for new pawrents and for dog trainers, veterinarians and behaviourists to recommend to clients, these books convey a powerful message to help overcome the all too common issues so many people have with their puppies. Packed with practical advice, they offer an overdue "puppy perspective", with respect for a dog as a sentient being at their core.
