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(c).
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.
