Canine Enrichment in The Real World

Canine Enrichment for the Real World
Published 2019

Out of my 100 plus dog books this one is going to rank at the top of the list. It's not a step-by-step training book Per-Se. It is very comprehensive at explaining what dogs need in total and how we can better accomplish that. And there is a good focus on the human element, us. Sometimes it's overwhelming. And the more you know the more overwhelming it can seem. The authors understand us as well as our dogs and have some instructive and comforting advice for us. With the goal of encouraging you to get and study this book, here are some of the questions this book answers.

•  What are the elements of physical and mental health we should think about?
• How do natural instinctual needs play into this?
• What emotional needs to dogs have?
• What are the physical needs we should consider?
• How does allowing the dog to make choices play into this?
• What are some of the common exercise mistakes we make?
• What are the safety and security needs that are often overlooked?
• How can we help them meet their sensory needs?
• How can we give them good social interactions with other dogs and people?
• How and why should we provide mental stimulation?
• What training methods are enriching?
• What is calming enrichment and how do we provide that?
•  Can independence be taught, how and why?
• How can we help them to be comfortable when left alone? What is meant by providing the right environment?
•  How can we work smarter not harder for busy people?
• How do we help dogs with special needs?
