Accordingly, you are probably aware that dogs have a lot going for them.

It deals with how dogs interpret human behavior, how they understand words, and you will learn about the episodic memory of dogs. Furthermore, in this book I emphasize how important the individual needs of the four-legged friend are and how to adapt the brain games to these needs. In addition, I show the consequences of underchallenge and boredom in dogs that are not sufficiently mentally stimulated. It should not be underestimated that many behavioral disorders are due to a lack of activity.

I'M Still Here - A Dog'S Purpose Forever

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER FOR FANS OF A DOG'S PURPOSE. This tenderly told story reveals a comforting narrative ... told from the point of view of a loving angel dog, who wants you to know, ';I'm still here ... But I'm also there where all the animals run free, with no pain, waiting for you, watching for you, loving you, and guiding you.';It's the most comforting, uplifting, rewarding, adorable, funny book!'NPRLosing one's dog is one of the most difficult experiences we go through and it's hard to find solace. However, the profound, four-legged narrator of I'm Still Here has nothing but good news for humans. The free verse is equally rhapsodic about the eternal nature of our souls and the amazing sound of crinkly wrappers that means cheese is about to be sliced. This very good dog proclaims that love never dies, that we will meet again, and that if you ever doubted that humans are magnificent creatures, look no further than the humble ball.There is nothing to fear, because it is this dog's purpose to pull you (like a bad dog who doesn't know how to do ';leash') toward joy, and to remind you to relish all the naps and treats life has to offer.Author Cathryn Michon co-wrote the blockbuster hit film A Dog's Purpose.This is a tale for anyone who has ever said goodbye to a dog (or person) gone too soon, because it's always too soon. It turns out that the best way to honor those we've loved and lost is to be here now, until we meet again.With musical accompaniment and narrated by the author herself, this audiobook will soothe and comfort anyone dealing with losing their beloved best friend. It's meant to be enjoyed on its own or paired with the beautifully illustrated book.Claire de Lune (Debussy) performed by Laura Sullivan, licensed by Triple Scoop Music

Dogland - Passion, Glory, And Lots Of Slobber At The Westminster Dog Show

by Tommy Tomlinson

~~22,07€~~ 19,86€ 10% OFF

 "Delightful." —Town & Country • "Extraordinary...Tomlinson’s book is a gem." —Star Tribune (Minneapolis) • "Moving...Really broke me." —The Washington Post • "This book wants to lick your face. Let it." —Kirkus Reviews Pulitzer Prize finalist Tommy Tomlinson explores the bond between dogs and their people in this irresistibly appealing, inside account of the Westminster Dog Show that follows one dog on his quest to become a champion. Tommy Tomlinson was watching a dog show on television a few years ago when he had a sudden thought: Are those dogs happy? How about pet dogs—are they happy? Those questions sparked a quest to venture inside the dog-show world, in search of a deeper understanding of the longtime relationship between dogs and humans, and here, in Dogland he shares his surprising, entertaining, and moving adventures. Spending three years on the road, Tomlinson goes behind the scenes at more than one hundred competitions across the country, from Midwestern fairgrounds to Madison Square Garden. Along the way he is licked, sniffed, and rubbed up against by dogs of nearly every size, shape, and breed. Like a real-life version of the classic mockumentary Best in Show, Dogland follows one champion show dog—a Samoyed named Striker—as well as his handler, Laura King, and his devoted entourage of breeders and owners as he competes in the 2022 Westminster Dog Show. Striker’s whole career has been leading up to this moment. As Tomlinson writes, picking a top show dog is like drafting an NFL quarterback when they’re still in elementary school. Now Striker has made it to the Super Bowl. Tomlinson takes us on the long road to glory, bringing the dog-show circuit to life as teams scramble from town to town in search of championship ribbons. (Striker and his crew travel in a custom-built RV named after Betty White.) Tomlinson’s limitless curiosity about people and dogs reaches far beyond the show tents and into the ordinary lives of dogs. We hear from experts who have discovered new insights into how dogs and humans formed their bond—and how that bond has changed over the centuries. We discover the fascinating origins of different dog breeds, learn about the elaborate breed standards that determine an ideal show dog, and consider the health issues that can arise in purebred dogs. We also meet dog lovers who applaud every dog, regardless of breed, simply for being themselves, such as WeRateDogs, the social media phenomenon with millions of followers, all for posts celebrating the day-to-day goofiness in most dog owners’ lives. "A big ol’ slobbering smooch of optimism, laughter, and happiness" (Joe Posnanski) Dogland takes us on a rollicking tour through the rituals, tricks, and wonders of the dog-show world—and reveals what matters most for the happiness of dogs and dog lovers everywhere.

Educating And Strengthening Fearful And Traumatized Dogs: - Dog Training Practice Book - How To Recognize Fear And Stress In Your Dog, Interpret It Co

by Inga Dahlmann

~~7,95€~~ 7,16€ 10% OFF

 Many dogs, especially those from animal shelters, have not had good experiences in their previous lives and are traumatized or fearful. This often manifests itself in different behaviors in different situations. For example, a dog expresses its fear through aggression on the lead if another dog comes too close, if it encounters cyclists or joggers or a person who wants to stroke the fearful dog. Other dogs are afraid of stairs, being left alone or loud noises. Anxious dogs also try to escape situations and show their fear by curling their tail or putting their ears back. However, some dogs also suffer silently because they can no longer find another way out of their fear. Do you also have a dog that makes your everyday life difficult? Do you often feel frustrated and don't know how to support and help your dog? Do you suffer every time your dog reacts anxiously and would you like to actively work on giving you and your dog a more relaxed life? Then you are holding a book in your hand that will help you to understand your dog, his fears and his behavior in order to find the right way to deal with your anxious dog so that you can experience a more relaxed everyday life together in the future.

Book Of Pet Love And Loss - Words Of Comfort And Wisdom From Remarkable People

by Sara Bader

~~16,55€~~ 14,90€ 10% OFF

 A powerful collection of quotations by writers, leaders, and legends on the pain of losing a pet and overcoming grief. An animal’s love is deep, uncomplicated, unconditional, and forgiving. "Affection without ambivalence" is how Sigmund Freud described the connection. "No matter how awful the day, or how awful I am behaving at any given moment, George doesn’t care," writes journalist John Dickerson. "He finds me smoldering in my chair and dashes to my lap." Our lives are intricately intertwined with our pets, and together, over time, we establish rituals that are as steady as a metronome. It’s no wonder the grief is crushing when they depart—even those who’ve had time to prepare describe feeling stunned, devastated, and cracked in two. "We were a bit broken up over the death of our black Persian cat," crime novelist Raymond Chandler confessed. "When I say a bit broken up, I am being conventional. For us it was a tragedy." Nobel Prize-winning author V. S. Naipaul described the experience as "calamitous," and writer May Sarton called it a "volcanic eruption of woe." Poet Emily Dickinson was so bereft she asked for help: "Carlo died," she announced in a letter to her friend Thomas Wentworth Higginson in 1866. "Would you instruct me now?" The Book of Pet Love and Loss is a collection of quotations—poignant thoughts and memories discovered in letters, journals, diaries, memoirs, and other original sources—from beloved cultural figures who understood this singular experience so deeply, they felt compelled to write about it. This book dignifies the profound connection we share with our animal companions, but it also provides solace as mourners document their heartache over the loss of their cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and other animals—even, in the case of Pablo Neruda, a mongoose. Their comforting and wise words are what every animal lover needs on this journey of heartbreak and healing.

Purest Bond - Understanding The Human-Canine Connection

by Jen Golbeck e Stacey Colino

22,07€ + 10% CARD

 This feel-good, comprehensive exploration of the profound bond between humans and dogs from Jen Golbeck, the "internet’s dog mom" behind the massive social media platform The Golden Ratio, and award-winning science writer Stacey Colino "will bring something magical and meaningful into your life" (Daniel J. Siegel, MD, New York Times bestselling author). Dogs have been considered people’s best friend for thousands of years, but never has the relationship between humans and their canine companions been as vitally important as it is today. With all of the seismic shifts in today’s world, rates of anxiety and depression have been skyrocketing, and people have been turning to their dogs for solace and stability. Amidst these dire realities, something wonderful has taken shape. In the United States alone, dog adoptions doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic. As people have brought furry friends into their lives for the first time or seized this opportunity to deepen the connections they already have, they are looking to understand how owning a dog can change their lives. Weaving together groundbreaking research and touching real-life stories, The Purest Bond is an "informative and fun" (Publishers Weekly) exploration of not just the social benefits of owning a dog but the science of how dogs improve our emotional and physical health, mental acuity, and our ability to focus and absorb information. Most importantly, they remind us of what’s right in the world—love, trust, affection, playtime, fresh air, and sunshine—even when so much feels wrong.
