Book excerpt: Why This Book The Ultimate Guide to Wild Canines, Primitive Dogs, and Pariah Dogs is geared toward the experienced dog owner who wants to own a pure wild canine, a wolf dog, coydog, dingoX, or primitive/pariah dog. In this book we will examine pureblood wild canines and their crosses and look at several primitive/pariah breeds. We will lay out the challenges that you can expect from these breeds, including housing, transporting, and socializing. We will also discuss the current state and provincial laws surrounding ownership of wild canines. This is not a training manual. If you are an inexperienced dog owner and think having a wild canine or cross is cool or a status symbol, please read this book very carefully. Wild canines are not for the inexperienced dog owner. For the sake of the dog you plan to bring home, please consider your decision very carefully. These dogs are a challenge even for experienced dog handlers. Wild animals and their crossbreeds do not belong in 99% of homes. The rehoming options are slim, and your pet wild canine may end up paying for your decision with its life. Primitive dogs have a long history of living on the edges of human habitation. They may not come with the same legal challenges as a wild canine, but you will still have plenty of work ahead of you including training and socializing your primitive. Carefully think through your decision to adopt a primitive. Bringing home a “couch wolf” can cause problems in your home. If you’ve accidentally gotten a primitive dog from a shelter, I highly encourage you to read this book, then find a reputable trainer who understands that this is not just a dog. I acquired my primitive dog accidentally and while I was an experienced dog owner, I was still baffled until I realized what she was and adapted to her behaviors. A common domesticated dog is a huge responsibility. However, a wild or primitive dog requires far more work. Owning one may be the greatest experience in your life, but it will also be one of the biggest challenges. For the sake of your future pet, take the time to read this book carefully. Owning a wild dog – a wolf, coyote, dingo, or even something imported from Africa – might sound like an amazing opportunity. Imagine the looks you’ll get! Imagine how much fun it will be to walk down the street with your silver coated wolf by your side. However, before you make that sort of commitment, take some time to learn about wild dogs. Bringing a wild dog into your life can have some long term legal and ethical outcomes. Because wild dogs are governed by state laws, The Ultimate Guide to Wild Dogs, Primitive Dogs and Pariah Dogs examines the basic laws and requirements for those owning wild dogs. What happens when your wolf dog mistakes cattle for their rightful prey? Can you keep a coy-dog in an apartment? Did you know that finding vet care can be a challenge for your wild dog and that their nutritional, training, and exercise requirements are different? Will your homeowner’s insurance even cover a wild dog? Before you make a commitment to a wild dog, learn what you can expect from bringing an undomesticated dog into your life. This book also examines pariah and primitive dogs, those with specific physical characteristics who live on the outskirts of human society. These dogs are somewhat more socialized than a wild dog but come with their unique challenges and interesting personalities. If you’ve met one of these unique dogs during a trip to another country, how do you go about bringing it home? What sort of quarantines are in place? Can they be fully associated into a home? This book answers all these important questions and will help you to decide if a wild dog, primitive dog or pariah dog is the right match for your home and family.

This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When your dog exhibits bad behaviors such as inappropriate chewing, barking, or jumping up, what causes those behaviors and what can you do to correct them? As the former owner of three naughty dogs, I had the same questions. My dogs Dax, Shep, and Diesel all had unique issues and difficulties due to their past experiences in life. Through intensive study, and lots of hard work, I was able to correct their behaviors and raise each as a happy, healthy dog that wasn’t a constant source of anxiety, pain, and stress. In this book, I’ll combine my first-hand experience with these three difficult, but wonderful, dogs along with the expert advice and insight from some of the top dog trainers today. Trainers such as: Ian Stone – Simpawtico Dog Training Jason Lake - Prodogz Dog Training Joann Neve - Pack Leader Training Cori Ludemann - Polite Pups Dog Training …and many more I’ve interviewed these trainers and gotten them to share their best techniques for correcting different unwanted behaviors your dog may be exhibiting, or could exhibit in the future. Through their advice you’ll develop a bag of tricks to curb your dog’s bad behavior and understand why these behaviors are showing up. We’ll discuss how to reward your dog and what sorts of disciplinary measures work and what ones can backfire. We’ll also discuss the signs that you and your dog need professional help and how to find the right trainer. Not one method works with every dog, so we offer multiple strategies, allowing you to discover which will work best to solve your dog’s behavior issues. Remember, there are NO BAD DOGS, only dogs whose owners don’t understand how to properly teach, train, and correct their unacceptable behaviors. If you find yourself owning a “problem dog” then you need to accept the fact that it’s up to YOU to change YOUR mindset, behavior, and correction strategies so that you can help your dog reach their full potential. This book was written for YOU, to help you do just that.

A 'pariah dog' refers to a breeds of free-ranging dogs that survive by scavenging food waste from human settlements. The breed became domesticated in the 1930s by Dr. Rudolphina Menzel. Menzel captured a small selection of semi-wild Canaan Dogs and tamed, trained and bred them. Menzel found that the breed was incredibly adaptable, trainable and relatively easy to completely domesticate. By the early 1950s Menzel had successfully trained Canaan Dog to work as guard dogs, guide dogs and fully domesticated family pets. Sadly there are not many wild Canaan Dogs left in Israel as the government destroyed most of them to combat an outbreak of rabies. The Canaan Dog has the appearance typical to primitive pariah dogs.

They get along very well with children and other household pets. The Canaan Dog is also known to be an extremely intelligent and adaptable breed.
