Synopsis
"He's going to need six weeks crate rest; just keep him quiet while he recovers."These words - which often form part of the treatment requirements for dogs undergoing surgery, or requiring long-term medical care - can strike fear into an owner's heart. Not a lot of advice is available regarding appropriate mental and emotional support for dogs whilst their usual exercise is limited, and owners are left to manage as best they can, which can be stressful for both owner and dog, and can lead to behaviour changes and problems.This unique book, written by professionals in their field, aims to help owners identify the individual needs of their dog, and, in addition, offer support in preparing their dog for a period of restricted exercise, when surgical interventions are planned.Ideas and tips for mental stimulation and emotional support - as well as alternatives to physical exercise and guidance on how to teach specific skills - are included.Beautiful, specially-taken photographs illustrate every chapter, and worksheets enable owners to chart the progress of their dog's care plan.

Highly recommended especially for devoted pet owners. Midwest Book Review Presented with an adventurous spirit and practicality, this guidebook is packed with a valuable array of tips to help put the brakes on full-speed Fido's psyche and physicality whole connecting refreshingly with readers. Seattle Kennel Club As I was reading the book I was very pleased to find that every time a question or thought popped into my mind it was answered in the following paragraphs, or a reference was made to where I could find more information. I found the book enjoyable and informative, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a dog with restrictions on physical activity for any reason. I believe that once they read the book an owner would feel extremely well equipped to deal with the challenges this may bring. I believe that trainers, behaviourists and veterinary professionals would all benefit from having this book in their 'tool kit'. APDT UK
