OverviewHow to Raise a Puppy: Author Turid Rugaas is internationally renowned and travels globally to promote her books. She is President of the Pet Dog Trainers of Europe. The unique selling point is that this book keeps in mind the natural behaviours of a dog: it recognises that meeting their species and age-specific needs is key to raising a happy, healthy, confident dog. It is the first book for puppy owners to really put the dog at the centre, taking a holistic, welfare-based approach, reflecting the gradual move in the dog training world to a more natural, welfare-based approach to living with our dogs. Packed with practical information on dealing with common challenges. Full colour, packed with high quality imagery. How to Build a Puppy: Fills a gap in the market for a book that advises on the physical side of developing and maintaining a healthy puppy, as well as a rehomed older dog. There's lots out there on behavioural training, but nothing on this essential element. People frequently ask 'how much exercise should I give my puppy?' and this book not only answers that but shows that there are other better ways to exercise a dog than walking in a straight line. Without knowledge of dog anatomy and physiology, people can exercise their dogs in ways that (and create environments that) have negative and long-lasting impacts on canine health. Useful and applicable for professionals and owners no matter what behavioural training technique they use. Robertson's accessible, light-hearted writing style makes the more challenging technical aspects easy to comprehend. The many colour illustrations are a great help in understanding the text and link explicitly to everyday experience. Should be standard reading for all dog owners, dog instructors, dog behaviour consultants, dog shelters, veterinarians students, veterinarians, and all other education's and organisations that have to do with dogs in our society. For veterinarians, it gives in-depth description of functional anatomy and the overall musculoskeletal system, as well as practical information and illustrations that can be recommended to their clients, making that part of their job easier.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationJulia Robertson established Galen Therapy Centre in 2002 and since then has worked tirelessly to improve dogs lives and their health. In this time she has treated over 8,000 dogs and trained hundreds of people in Galen Myotherapy techniques. Julia was one of the very first in the UK to understand and treat the effects of adaptive change (or muscular compensation) in dogs and through years of dedication has learned that trends, patterns of behaviour and physical changes occur in a dog when they are suffering with muscular pain. This quantification of the nature of the changes has now been formalised into the Galen Comfort Scale (c), which is being used in the many studies and treatments that Galen are involved in. In late 2019 they changed their organisational name from 'Galen Therapy Centre' to 'Galen Myotherapy'. Julia speaks all around the world and runs an International Schools program.
