A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Julia Robertson established the Galen Therapy Centre in 2002, specializing in Canine Myotherapy (Massage). As well as running a busy consultancy treating working, performance and companion dogs, she has developed a range of courses from workshops to accredited diploma courses in Canine Massage. Julia is a passionate advocate of Canine Myotherapy. Working closely with vets and other professionals, she has developed a team of Galen Myotherapists that practice throughout the UK having completed the Galen Diploma. Julia has co-authored another book intended for veterinary practitioners and students, and also regularly contributes to dog magazines, speaks at seminars, and runs training courses across the UK.

Elisabeth Pope spent much of her childhood with horses and dogs. A keen rider since her youth, she was advised to give up due to a recurring back problem. Thereafter she transferred her knowledge, energy and passion to her dogs, and subsequently the canine world in general. Elisabeth has successfully owned, showed and breed Golden Retrievers for 35 years, and is a show judge for the breed both in the UK and abroad. Her great interest in canine movement and gait led to her partnership with Julia. They have worked together for ten years, and their shared knowledge, experience and love of dogs has led to the development of a successful program of canine exercise physiology, suitable from puppy-hood to adulthood.

Revue de presse :

Go back to basics with this practical guide to gentle dog care. The focus of the book is on matching your puppy with appropriate exercises at every stage of development, and realising that different breeds develop at different speeds. By taking the care to ensure your dog has the foundations to mature into the very best example of its breed, you re investing in a long and happy future with a strong and robust pet from puppyhood to veteran. Each age range is sectioned off in the book to ensure that you re exercising your dog the right way. For example, did you know that growth plates in some dogs don t close over until they re 12 months old? By keeping an eye on your pet and observing odd or restrictive movements, you ll be able to alter your exercise regime to correct any problems before they get worse. There is also an entire section dedicated to puppy massage that looks as fun as it is relaxing. --Dogs NSW
