Download or read book From Birdbrained to Brilliant written by  Dawn Antoniak-Mitchell, CPDT-KSA, CBCC-KA and published by Dogwise Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He can retrieve—but can he sit, lie down and stay?
Sporting dog breeds can be relatively easy to train to do what they have been bred to do be it retrieve, point, flush—even act as a decoy to attract game! In addition, most sporting breeds have a gregarious personality and love people and other dogs. These attributes make these dogs very popular pets, but at the same time present all sorts of problems when they are not working in the field. Have you ever tried to ask your Lab to sit and stay near a pond with the ducks? Why is it that Goldens are notorious for jumping up on people (not to mention other dogs) when greeting them? Does your sporting dog eat every smelly item he encounters before you can stop him? In this new book, author Dawn Antoniak-Mitchell offers answers to solving and preventing the often surprising set of problems that owners of sporting dogs encounter at home and in their local communities.

You will learn
• Many of the overly friendly traits associated with sporting dogs can cause problems with other people and other dogs if you cannot control your dog’s enthusiastic (and sometimes obnoxious) greeting behaviors.
• How to make yourself more interesting than birds, as impossible as that might seem, to make walks and outings more pleasant for all involved.
• How to train a strong “leave it” behavior to keep your dog from eating things that might be dangerous.

Praise for From Birdbrained to Brilliant
Having bred and trained sporting dogs for almost forty years, Dawn’s ideas are spot on for understanding that the mindset and work ethics of sporting dogs is based around them being “people dogs.” As a tracking judge, trainer and exhibitor I can attest that Dawn is correct when she says training sporting dogs is “an investment worth making.” Just like making an investment in this book!
Ed Presnall, noted trainer and judge, author of Component Training for TDX and four other books on the subject of tracking

From Birdbrained to Brilliant gave me more insight into my beloved retrievers than anything I’ve read in my 25+ years of working with assistance dogs. Ms. Antoniak-Mitchell provides a treasure trove of information for those of us who love sporting dogs. As entertaining as it is illuminating, this book has earned a center spot in my library!
Jennifer Arnold, author Through a Dog’s Eyes and In a Dog’s Heart

Hunt, point and/or retrieve yourself a copy of this book. Working with your sporting breed dog’s natural traits instead of against them is what From Birdbrained to Brilliant is all about. I’m so excited to see a down to earth and practical book that gives clear training and management exercises for field bred dogs.
Inga From, CPDT-KSA, owner Positive Gun Dogs of Minnesota

FIRST OF ALL who could resist this title? I work with all breeds and each group brings something a little different to the table. Dawn’s knowledge of sporting dogs is going to be invaluable to you because her insights into their instincts will improve your training and your dogs will live better lives because you will have learned how to understand and communicate better with them.

Download or read book The Lost Dogs written by Jim Gorant and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring story of survival and our powerful bond with man's best friend, in the aftermath of the nation's most notorious case of animal cruelty. Animal lovers and sports fans were shocked when the story broke about NFL player Michael Vick's brutal dog fighting operation. But what became of the dozens of dogs who survived? As acclaimed writer Jim Gorant discovered, their story is the truly newsworthy aspect of this case. Expanding on Gorant's Sports Illustrated cover story, The Lost Dogs traces the effort to bring Vick to justice and turns the spotlight on these infamous pit bulls, which were saved from euthanasia by an outpouring of public appeals coupled with a court order that Vick pay nearly a million dollars in "restitution" to the dogs. As an ASPCA-led team evaluated each one, they found a few hardened fighters, but many more lovable, friendly creatures desperate for compassion. In The Lost Dogs, we meet these amazing animals, a number of which are now living in loving homes, while some even work in therapy programs: Johnny Justice participates in Paws for Tales, which lets kids get comfortable with reading aloud by reading to dogs; Leo spends three hours a week with cancer patients and troubled teens. At the heart of the stories are the rescue workers who transformed the pups from victims of animal cruelty into healing caregivers themselves, unleashing priceless hope. Includes an 8-page photo insert. Watch a video

Download or read book The Complete Guide to Basset Hounds written by Cheryl Jerabek and published by LP Media Inc. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find out the answers to your most pressing questions about Basset Hounds, such as: Is a Basset Hound the right breed for my lifestyle? What should I expect from a Basset breeder or rescue group? How do I prepare my home for a curious, nose-driven pup? Which training methods are most effective for training Basset Hounds? The Basset Hound has an unmistakable profile. They have the long, square snout, muscular body, and loose skin of their Bloodhound ancestors, but with short legs and a long, sabre-shaped tail. The olfactory ability of this breed is second only to the Bloodhound itself, and they are unrelenting once they have caught a scent. Both the short legs and the long, upwardly curved tail—which is tipped in white—are designed to make these stout hounds easier for hunters to follow on foot. Although they are enthusiastic hunters in the field, they tend to be calmer and more relaxed at home, sometimes to the point of laziness. Bassets are particularly agreeable animals, both with people and with other dogs, and they make excellent family companions as well as exemplary hunting hounds. They are typically gentle with young children, have a very pleasant disposition, and are comfortable in the role of everyone’s best friend and confidant. Basset Hounds aren’t right for everyone, however, as they can be stubborn, tend to be highly skilled counter-surfers, and frequently howl when left alone for long periods. The Complete Guide to Basset Hounds is a treasure-trove of information about this distinctive breed of hound dog. Everything you need to help ensure that your friendly Basset Hound pup develops into a well-behaved, healthy, and confident canine companion can be found within these pages. From your first search for a breeder to your precious pooch’s senior years, the indispensable knowledge compiled within will have you reaching for this extensive guidebook over and over again. This comprehensive book covers nearly every aspect of raising a Basset Hound, including: The history of the Basset Hound The challenges of living with a scenthound Where to find a good Basset Hound breeder or rescue Choosing the right Basset Hound for you Preparing your home for a new dog—inside and out What to expect the first few days home The importance of rules and boundaries in the Basset’s life Best practices for grooming your Basset Hound Diet and nutrition for the Basset Hound Dealing with separation anxiety and other problem behaviors Exercising and training your stubborn Basset Hound Breed-specific health and wellness information for all stages How to resist the Basset Hound’s legendary “sad eyes” Caring for the aging Basset Hound Basset Hounds are one of the most amicable of dog breeds, but not always the most cooperative. They are both exceptional tracking dogs, steadfast in their ability to follow a trail, and excellent family companions, calm, affectionate, and not overly boisterous. They are stubborn, slobbery, and worth every second. This exhaustive manual will give you all the tools you need to ensure your Basset Hound’s health and happiness, from their first day with you until their last. This comprehensive guidebook is a must-have addition for anyone considering bringing a Basset Hound into their lives.
