The Psychology of Dog Ownership

The Psychology of Dog Ownership

What are the benefits of owning a dog on health and well-being? Why does a problem dog behave as it does and how can owners deal with unwanted behaviour? How do dogs communicate with humans and each other? The Psychology of Dog Ownership explores the nature of our unique relationship with dogs and its effect on our mental and physical welfare. The book uses psychological learning theory to examine dog behaviour and highlights the importance of determining between typical dog behaviour and behaviour disorders that need treatment. Focusing on how dog owners can communicate effectively with their pets and always with the dogsbest interests in mind The Psychology of Dog Ownership enhances our understanding of the modern human-canine bond and shows how important and enjoyable this relationship can be.

The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

Fascinated by them unable to ignore them and imaginatively stimulated by them Charles Dickens was an acute and unsentimental reporter on the dogs he kept and encountered during a time when they were a burgeoning part of the nineteenth-century urban and domestic scene. As dogs inhabited Dickens’s city so too did they populate his fiction journalism and letters. In the first book-length work of criticism on Dickens’s relationship to canines Beryl Gray shows that dogs real and invented were intrinsic to Dickens’s vision and experience of London and to his representations of its life. Gray draws on an array of reminiscences by Dickens’s friends family and fellow writers and also situates her book within the context of nineteenth-century attitudes towards dogs as revealed in the periodical press newspapers and institutional archives. Integral to her study is her analysis of Dickens’s texts in relationship to their illustrations by George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne and to portraiture by late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists like Thomas Gainsborough and Edwin Landseer. The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination will not only enlighten readers and critics of Dickens and those interested in his life but will serve as an important resource for scholars interested in the Victorian city the treatment of animals in literature and art and attitudes towards animals in nineteenth-century Britain.

How to Build a Puppy Into a Healthy Adult Dog

How to Build a Puppy Into a Healthy Adult Dog

Dogs do not demonstrate discomfort or pain in a way that can be easily translated by us humans so we often miss that they are physically struggling. Understanding that making some very simple changes to our homes activities exercise regimes and how we train our puppies will have a massive positive impact on our dogs' lives. Using her world-renowned Galen Myotherapy knowledge and approach Robertson suggests and explains in detail how small profoundly important but easy to implement changes can improve the way we not only look after and develop our puppies but also how maintenance of this easy programme continues your puppy’s journey through into healthy adolescence and maturity. Environment exercise and activity habits have deep ongoing effects and How to Build a Puppy . into a healthy adult dog explores ways in which positive change can be integrated easily into our normal lives. The book culminates into a full programme called the Galen Myotherapy Puppy Physical Development Programme©. Including: A dedicated section on anatomy explaining in a functional way how everything in the body interrelates to form a functional moving structure Practical advice that is made logical and easy to interpret by the use of clear comparative descriptions as well as clear diagrams and pictures showing the movement and biomechanics of dogs Exercises and activities in a practical programme for all situations that can be followed to help build good foundations A full pictorial explanation of why so many 'traditional' exercise routines and activities are in fact incredibly damaging for our dogs This book will help canine professionals better advise their clients but also empower all readers to make their own changes as well as having a better all-round understanding to enable more pertinent questions from their vet breeder or puppy trainer. | How to Build a Puppy Into a Healthy Adult Dog
