Book Description
One of the dog world's best kept secrets, the Sussex Spaniel excels as a companion dog, show dog and hunting dog. The breed's cheerful, happy spaniel disposition is well disguised by his soulful eyes, somber expression and furrowed brow. As Mrs. Joy Freed, widely regarded as the breed's savior, comments, "If you want a challenge and wish to work a fine traditional spaniel breed, then perhaps you should take a second look at the little brown jobs." The author of this volume, breeder Becki Jo Hirschy echoes this sentiment, describing the breed as "an amusing dog who loves to be the center of attention, grinning to show off his full complement of canine whites."This Special Rare-Breed Edition begins with a well-considered history of the breed in the UK and its development in the US. The author details the breed's characteristics and discusses the description outlined in the standard.This well-illustrated book offers advice that owners and potential owners alike will undoubtedly welcome, including finding a breeder and puppy, house-training, obedience lessons, routine care and a detailed discussion on healthcare written by respected veterinarian Dr. Lowell Ackerman. From feeding the puppy to grooming and exercise to the care of a senior dog, this comprehensive guide gives owners of the Sussex Spaniel a complete picture of the breed's requirements and needs.

Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Cesar Millan—nationally recognized dog expert—helps you see the world through the eyes of your dog so you can finally eliminate problem behaviors. From his appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show to his roster of celebrity clients to his reality television series, Cesar Millan is America’s most sought-after dog-behavior expert. But Cesar is not a trainer in the traditional sense—his expertise lies in his unique ability to comprehend dog psychology. Tracing his own amazing journey from a clay-walled farm in Mexico to the celebrity palaces of Los Angeles, Cesar recounts how he learned what makes dogs tick. In Cesar’s Way, he shares this wisdom, laying the groundwork for you to have stronger, more satisfying relationships with your canine companions. Cesar’s formula for a contented and balanced dog seems impossibly simple: exercise, discipline, and affection, in that order. Taking readers through the basics of dog psychology and behavior, Cesar shares the inside details of some of his most fascinating cases, using them to illustrate how common behavior issues develop and, more important, how they can be corrected. You'll learn: • What your dog really needs may not be what you’re giving him • Why a dog’s natural pack instincts are the key to your happy relationship • How to relate to your dog on a canine level • There are no “problem breeds,” just problem owners • How to choose a dog who’s right for you and your family • The difference between discipline and punishment • And much more! Filled with fascinating anecdotes about Cesar’s longtime clients, and including forewords by the president of the International Association of Canine Professionals and Jada Pinkett Smith, this is the only book you’ll need to forge a stronger, more rewarding connection with your four-legged companion.

Book Description
As a holistic veterinarian and scientist, Dr. Gary Richter helps dog and cat owners to navigate the thicket of treatment options and separate the fact from the fiction. He wants us to use what actually works, not just what Western science or alternative medicine say "should" work. This multifaceted approach to health is known as integrative medicine. Dr. Richter examines traditional medicine from many cultures alongside modern medical techniques, describing the best of complementary care and the best of conventional veterinary medicine. Every treatment he recommends has the backing of scientific research or years of successful outcomes in his clinical practice. After explaining the treatment, he offers specific recommendations for an integrative approach to common diseases, including allergies, skin conditions, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. A holistic approach to health includes nutrition, as it sets up the foundation for your pet’s health. Dr. Richter cuts through the hype in the pet-food world and explains how to choose the best commercial foods and supplements, and even includes both raw and cooked dog- and cat-food recipes for general diet as well as to treat specific needs. He also explains how we can use the right foods and supplements to "hack" the body’s processes, including the immune system.
