This is a great book for people who live with dogs and also for students who are studying canine behaviour.It clearly explains the importance of positive training techniques, talks about the reason for behaviour changes in adolescent dogs and how to help them through this phase.It is written in plain English and has everything you need to know about adolescent dogs.
I have done several courses and diploma by Sally. So informative. As a pet care professional venturing into the dog training world a marvellous read. A must read for all guardians and professionals. I really enjoyed the knowledge and tips. I look forward to the next great read
I think this is a must have dog book for anyone who has a puppy or young dog. It helps navigate those tough times that often lead people to give up on their relationship with their young dogs without necessarily understanding why in the first place.It also has many studies and references for people who are a bit like me and what to delve into the information even more.Thoroughly enjoyed the book and will definitely recommend to friends and family who are dog owners/lovers.
A dog in its adolescent phase is my favorite to work with. I might or might not be crazy.Your words reinforce my beliefs about adolescent dogs. We get a glimpse of the dog s/he is becoming, which is incredibly promising and does not have to be frustrating.I have attached a video of a 2-year-old dog that was boarded with me because I believe his behavior outcome depicts everything you mentioned in your book. In particular, I would like to cite page 45, where using positive reinforcement provided him with "cognitive enrichment....strengthen the bond between the dog and its guardian....encourages trust and mutual respect."This will be a wonderful resource for me to direct clients to. Thank you, Sally!
I have completed a few of Sally Gutteridge diplomas and courses, this book gives an experienced dog trainer/behaviourist as well as a regular dog guardian insight into the life of an adolescent "teen" dog.I have always felt Sally's training and ethics are backed by science and her information up to date as well as easy to follow. These apply to everyday dog ownership.I highly recommend this book to anyone getting a dog or who has younger dogs or anyone who wants to learn and understand the amazing canine.
