Drawing on a lifetime of experience working with dogs and other animals, author and photographer, Diana Andersen, has brought together a wealth of information on choosing and caring for a dog. This comprehensive, easy to use guide covers topics including the history and origin of the domestic dog, popular breeds, locating and choosing a healthy dog or puppy, the first days at home, diet, basic training and an extensive section on maintaining the health and well-being of your canine companion.

The book is illustrated throughout with over 200 stunning photographs that capture the spirit of dogs and also includes informative diagrams and helpful photographs in the general care and health sections of the book.

Dogs quickly find their way into your heart and become part of your family. Getting to Know Dogs is an ideal gift for anyone contemplating getting a dog, but it is also a handy guide for anyone that already owns a dog and understands the importance of providing the best possible care for their four legged family member.

Quotes

  • Igor&Natahas quoted7 years ago
    Dogs enjoy routine. It gives them a sense of security knowing when they will be fed, when they will be let out to relieve themselves, and when they will go for a walk. Dogs like to know where they sleep, where they are allowed to go, and what belongs to them in terms of bedding, toys and food dishes. The sooner you establish a routine the sooner the dog will settle down and feel more relaxed. You must be aware that your routine may differ from what the dog was used to in its previous home so be patient and understanding. If you experience behaviours that you do not understand and are unsure of how to deal with, I suggest contacting a reputable dog behaviourist or trainer in your area. These trained professionals can often resolve an issue quickly and easily before it becomes a serious problem.

      While some cope well without the constant company of their owners, most dogs prefer not to be alone and many of the behavioural problems that people experience, such as barking and destructive behaviour, result from being alone with insufficient mental stimulation, inadequate training, and often having also had inadequate exercise.
