A dog's life long, physically and mentally balanced part 2

Most puppy books end with 'puberty begins around six months of age'. But what do you do when your puppy has become an adolescent? In 'Your teenager on the right track', osteopath Martine Burgers and dog trainer Sam Turner take you into the world of your teenage dog. Their positive and innovative way of working ensures harmony between dog and handler. Also in this, sometimes quite tough, period. You will receive an explanation about what happens in an adolescent body and brain and which development phases an adolescent body goes through.

In addition, dog language is discussed extensively. You will be explained in words and images how a dog communicates with its body. With you, with other dogs and with the challenges you encounter along the way. Attention is also paid to preparing for sports with your dog. How do you prepare your dog as best as possible for a sporting career and how do you prevent injuries? The exercises in the book match the physical and mental capabilities of your teenager. Important in this phase when you sometimes have to take a step back, only to see your dog make leaps and bounds forward. The exercises are illustrated with clear photos and practical tips.

'Your teenager on the right track' is the second part in the four-part series 'Physically and mentally balanced throughout a dog's life'. The first part 'Every puppy gets a good start' has been received with rave reviews. 'Your senior continues on his way' and 'The dog as an athlete' also appear in the series.
