Book excerpt: Set in an alternative future where the Dangerous Dogs Act and Breed Specific laws have been applied to humans. Grace, raised in a compound, is hunted down for slaughter and saved by Mack, a freedom fighter, who takes her with him when he returns to base. Grace learns those who fight for freedom are the parents of children who were taken for slaughter many years before, and also learns the meaning of 'Type' - a terrible plan to cull the poor and put them back into the food chain, to feed those in poverty with the flesh of their own people... As the war heads to a final confrontation, Mack is intent on winning at all costs - even the loss of his own life, spurred on by the need to kill the woman responsible for the death of his son many years before. As Grace pleads with him to reconsider his actions, will Mack's people over throw a dictatorship, and how is the mysterious prisoner Indigo linked to the dawn of a new age that can create an unbreakable bond between humanity and the canine species

Book excerpt: Pitbulls have a bad reputation. They rank as the most aggressive dog breed in terms of people's perception, with some states even adopting laws that ban people from owning them. This isn't fair of course, because with proper care and attention from their owners, pitbulls can be the sweetest of companions. While it's true that these dogs were originally bred for more aggressive activities, such as hunting and dog-fighting, they have the capacity to be one of the most docile and loyal dog breeds around. Fully understanding the pitbull breed is the first step in developing a bond with your dog so that he or she will allow you to be the pack leader. This book is designed to debunk harmful preconceived notions about this amazing breed. Along the way, I'll also cover how to teach your dog simple tricks and obedience commands, and how to socialize your pitbull with other dog breeds. We'll also discuss the pitbull's breed-specific traits, including how to tend to your dog's special nutritional and physical needs, since that's the key to a happy and healthy pitbull who's eager to be your best buddy for life.

Book excerpt: The hugely illuminating story of how a popular breed of dog became the most demonized and supposedly the most dangerous of dogs—and what role humans have played in the transformation. When Bronwen Dickey brought her new dog home, she saw no traces of the infamous viciousness in her affectionate, timid pit bull. Which made her wonder: How had the breed—beloved by Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Keller, and Hollywood’s “Little Rascals”—come to be known as a brutal fighter? Her search for answers takes her from nineteenth-century New York City dogfighting pits—the cruelty of which drew the attention of the recently formed ASPCA—to early twentieth‑century movie sets, where pit bulls cavorted with Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton; from the battlefields of Gettysburg and the Marne, where pit bulls earned presidential recognition, to desolate urban neighborhoods where the dogs were loved, prized—and sometimes brutalized. Whether through love or fear, hatred or devotion, humans are bound to the history of the pit bull. With unfailing thoughtfulness, compassion, and a firm grasp of scientific fact, Dickey offers us a clear-eyed portrait of this extraordinary breed, and an insightful view of Americans’ relationship with their dogs.

Book excerpt: Jodi has been well respected as an educator in the grooming industry for many years. She is one of the top pet stylists in the world winning multiple titles included World Grand Champion and Best American Groomer. She is here to share her knowledge in this extraordinary book.With over 190 breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club along with individual breed-specific grooming instructions, it can become very overwhelming for new groomers to retain the information. Straight to the Point is the solution to learning about pattern lines, which simplifies the learning process. Whether the patterns are set tight or left more natural, the patterns are set in the same fashion. Once a groomer understands basic patterns he or she will be able to groom any breed with ease.The dogs pictured in this book are top winning show dogs presenting the correct profile according to their breed standards. Jodi chose to illustrate this way for several reasons. First, a show dog presents an excellent representation of the breed and how it should be groomed per the breed standard. Second, the reader will be able to see the realistic depth and dimensions of the coat. Last, it will give the reader a vision of the pattern in a realistic view and will be a great reference source when grooming each breed.Once the groomer understands correct pattern placement, it can easily be applied to pet trims. A pet dog does not have to be groomed using show techniques, i.e., hand stripping, to present the proper breed profile. With proper pattern placement and techniques described in this text, the groomer will be able to present a well-balanced, well-blended pet trim to the pet owner.

This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help! He’s herding the neighborhood kids!!
Herding breed dogs such as Border Collies, Corgis, and Australian Shepherds have incredibly strong instinctive behaviors to do the work they were bred for—controlling various kinds of livestock. These behaviors manifest themselves in modern herding breed dogs kept as companions or family pets in a number of ways. These include chasing cars and bicyclists, herding kids, nipping at vulnerable heels, barking incessantly, and acting as the “fun police” in dog parks. All behaviors that are entirely appropriate and necessary when dealing with sheep or cattle, not so great in a suburban neighborhood. Fortunately, these instincts can be redirected in a number of ways that keep these energetic dogs busy and happy as well as out of trouble. That is why so many of these dogs can be taught to excel in agility and obedience trials, love to retrieve, and make great running companions. In her latest book, author Dawn Antoniak-Mitchell offers solutions to solving and preventing problem behaviors associated with herding breeds living in the modern world. And no, even though your Border Collie or Corgi might love it, you don’t need to buy a farm!

As the owner of two obsessive but outstanding herding dogs, I found myself nodding along in agreement with this book from start to finish. Dawn offers tips to allow a handler to work with, rather than against a dog’s herding instincts and her easy-to-read writing style and the depth of information she shares makes this book a must read for anyone who works or lives with herding dogs.
Nicole Larocco-Skeehan, CPDT-KA and member of the Board of Directors, CCPDT

A super resource that explains how instinctive behaviors impact dogs in their every day activities. I especially like the training tips—very clear and helpful explanations to manage problems often brought out by a variety of herding instincts.
Lynn Leach, owner of Downriver Stock Dog Training and creator of the popular All Breed Herding DVD series

A wonderful mix of training information, management suggestions, psychology, and commonsense advice for herding dog owners. Easy to read and filled with gems of information for all dog owners—like eliminating annoying barking! I highly recommend this book for trainers and owners of any breed of dog.
Gail Tamases Fisher, CDBC and author of The Thinking Dog

If you have chosen to bring a herding breed in to your life and home this is the book for you! Dawn takes the reader through the history of herding breeds in order to help you understand the why behind some of the obsessive-compulsive behaviors your herding breed may be exhibiting. Better yet, Dawn then offers up specific exercises and training techniques to help herding breed owners become as valuable as livestock in the eyes of their herding dog. You owe it to your herding breed to read this book!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarded by his owners as the most trainable and quiet of the terrier breeds, the Glen of Imaal Terrier is a rare find indeed, Ireland's only short-legged terrier breed. Not as popular as the Emerald Isle's three taller exterminators;the Kerry Blue Terrier, the Irish Terrier, and the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier;the Glen of Imaal Terrier derives from its namesake region in the county of Wicklow on the eastern seaboard. Developed as farm paws to work on the demanding countryside, Ireland's terrier breeds were indispensable in keeping the landscape free from vermin, prized for their fearlessness, independence, and minimal demands on the farmers. Author Mary Brytowski, a well-regarded Glen breeder, describes the breed in the chapter on characteristics: "This unique terrier is comfortable working vermin in the field, sleeping by the hearth or dazzling the gallery at a dog show. A natural dog, with God-given talents and true down-to-earth beauty, the Glen rightly deserves a place in the homes of pet owners and the show and obedience set, as well as of the farmers who originally bred him for everyday ratting purposes." Today the Glen is a member of the AKC Terrier Group and is enjoying increased popularity in the United States, as it has in Ireland and England for generations.New owners will welcome the well-prepared chapter on finding a reputable breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy. Chapters on puppy-proofing the home and yard, purchasing the right supplies for the puppy as well as house-training, feeding, and grooming are illustrated with photographs of handsome adults and puppies. In all, there are over 135 full-color photographs in this useful and reliable volume. The author's advice on obedience training will help the reader better mold and train into the most well-mannered dog in the neighborhood. The extensive and lavishly illustrated chapter on healthcare provides up-to-date detailed information on selecting a qualified veterinarian, vaccinations, preventing and dealing with parasites, infectious diseases, and more. Sidebars throughout the text offer helpful hints, covering topics as diverse as historical dogs, breeders, or kennels, toxic plants, first aid, crate training, carsickness, fussy eaters, and parasite control. Fully indexed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the inception of the Dangerous Dog Act 1991 and Breed Specific Legislation, a number of dog breeds have been been demonised by the media, influencing public perception and creating a public safety concern that research proves to be severely flawed. Needlessly, harmless family pets have been put to death and owners prosecuted by police and authorities using guidelines that are vague at best. The "Bull Breeds" have been much maligned, but after 25 years, studies now prove that Pit Bulls and dogs of "type" on the restricted list are no more dangerous than the family Labrador or Poodle and Breed Specific Legislation should be evoked. This book covers the many dog breeds persecuted, their history, physiology, true characteristics and development over hundreds of years from the first original Bandog, the Alaunt. How pioneers developed each specific breed for purpose and the international infuence they made to farming, guarding and companionship. I take an indepth look at the Dangerous Dog Act 1991 and Breed Specific Legislation. It looks at the legal challenge to BSL, exemption, education, dog aggression and the way forward to change government legislation and human perception. More importantly this book highlights the immediate need to prevent any more animal cruelty and endorse good animal welfare practices to prevent anymore suffering to humans and their dogs.
