Book Description
Bernese Mountain dogs are the second-largest breed of Sennenhund-type dogs, a group of four breeds developed to assist the herders and dairymen of the Swiss Alps in their daily lives. Not only did Sennenhund dogs like the Bernese Mountain Dog guard livestock, but they also protected the homestead and provided herding and drafting services. Modern-day Bernese are more likely to play the role of devoted companions than farm dogs—a role they excel at due to their affectionate and docile natures. All four of the Sennenhund breeds are hardy, good-natured working dogs with striking tricolored coats, but only the Bernese has gained widespread popularity in the United States. While Bernese Mountain Dogs are generally agreeable canines, early socialization and training are a must to uncover their true potential. This in-depth guide to the affable Bernese Mountain Dog will teach you how to make the most of your canine’s cooperative temperament, and how to avoid problem behaviors before they start. Discover the answers to crucial questions such as: Is a Bernese Mountain Dog the right dog for me? How do I select the right puppy or rescue dog for my household? What do I need to do to prepare my home for a Bernese puppy? Which training methods are most effective for Bernese Mountain Dogs? The Complete Guide to the Bernese Mountain Dog, by dog trainer and journalist Andrea Berman, is a comprehensive guidebook that delves into the temperament, health, and history of these sturdy and adaptable animals. In these pages, pet parents like you will find the tools to handle every stage of their Bernese Mountain Dog’s life, from the first few days at home to their Berner’s senior years. Find out everything you need to know about owning a Bernese Mountain Dog, including: The history of the Bernese Mountain Dog Selecting a reputable Bernese breeder Rescue organizations and animal shelters Preparing your home for a large dog Common household hazards What to expect the first few nights Introducing your Berner to new people and pets Tips and tricks for training the Bernese breed Socializing the adult Bernese Mountain Dog Choosing a professional dog trainer or training class Diet and nutrition for the Bernese Mountain Dog Grooming requirements for the Bernese Mountain Dog Health and wellness information for all stages Bernese Mountain Dogs are robust and intelligent dogs who are extremely devoted to their human companions.

Pages : 256
Book Description
New York Times–Bestselling Author: “The dialogue is witty and the prose is smooth . . . [A] moving take on starting over and repairing past hurts.” —Publishers Weekly One step forward. Two steps back. The Tufts scholarship that put Nora Stuart on the path to becoming a Boston medical specialist was a step forward. Being hit by a car and then overhearing her boyfriend hit on another doctor when she thought she was dying? Two major steps back. Injured in more ways than one, Nora feels her carefully built life cracking at the edges. There’s only one place to land: home. But the tiny Maine community she left fifteen years ago doesn’t necessarily want her. At every turn, someone holds the prodigal daughter of Scupper Island responsible for small-town drama and big-time disappointments. With a tough islander mother who’s always been distant, a wild-child sister in jail, and a withdrawn teenage niece as eager to ditch the island as Nora once was, Nora has her work cut out for her if she’s going to take what might be her last chance to mend the family. Balancing loss and opportunity, dark events from her past with hope for the future, Nora will discover that tackling old pain makes room for promise . . . and the chance to begin again. “Powerful, entertaining . . . Balancing emotion, humor, and a redemptive theme, Higgins hits all the right notes with precision, perception, and panache.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “She only gets better with each book.” —New York Times

Tweens will encounter much-needed hope, read inspiring true stories, and learn to love generously and why connection matters in this 90-day devotional from Carlos Whittaker, bestselling author, activist, and head of the "Instafamilia," a hope-minded online community. With Bible truths, stories of real hope and joy, and Carlos's "let's do this" energy, kids will be empowered to thrive no matter how life tries to discourage them, put them down, make them anxious, or cause them to feel isolated. In Get Your Hopes Up, 8 to 12-year olds will connect Bible verses with real-life stories of finding and spreading hope, see prayer in action today, discover ways to advocate for the marginalized, and learn to lead with love and fight for change. In this plugged-in world, the lines between childhood and adulthood have become blurred, and kids are exposed to hate, division, injustice, and negative emotions earlier than ever. Knowing where to find truth and positive environments can be confusing. Jesus gave us something long ago, though, that helps us remain grounded and steady in the face of all that's broken in our world: hope.
