When Erika adopted Mila, she naively believed that, like instant soup, she wouldn’t have to go through the process of cooking all the ingredients from scratch. She wouldn’t have to house train, obedience train or intensely socialise a mature dog. Mila quickly proved how misguided she was! Her favourite pastime was zealously chewing Persian rugs while the living room became her personal toilet. Alternatively, when asked to sit, lie down, or come, she’d throw herself on her back in submission and refuse to move. Thunder and fireworks sent her rushing around in a mindless panic, while the sight of other dogs turned her into a screaming banshee. Does this sound familiar?
Introducing From Wolf to Supermutt and Everything In Between, a book to guide you and your dog to happiness and harmony. Predominantly written with information based on research studies, the book also includes anecdotes based on Erika’s own experience to give it the personal factor. Erika’s portrayal of all things canine begins with their evolution and domestication, the fundamental processes that triggered our ongoing relationship with dogs. Additionally, the book banishes a few myths, and explores the significance of nature vs nurture, including the importance of genetics, breeding and socialisation. Understanding how our dogs think and learn, knowing the source of canine behaviour problems, including the impact of detrimental and positive training methods, we can pre-empt many behaviour problems and positively shape our dogs into happy hounds.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
This is a very good book, I like it and I am very happy to have read it. It is quite interesting, there are many things that I read about that I did not know. I think it is a very useful book if you have a dog, or if you are thinking about getting a dog.
I really enjoyed reading this book. There is a lot of high quality information from a broad range of already conducted research nicely packaged into one book. I like how the author uses her experience with her own dog as it is relatable. I am looking at getting my own dog soon, and this book is going to be awesome help right from the start.
From the first page I enjoyed this engrossing and extremely well researched book. I learnt an immense amount about canines and canine behaviour, which I will be able to implement with my own dog. This is an important book, and is vital reading for any dog owner or would be dog owner.
I highly recommend this book. If you were looking to broaden your horizons in all things canine in a funny (sometimes sad) yet insightful package this is the book for you. Incredibly informative very well put together yet is understandable to the Lehman. If I could give this book 10 stars I-most certainly would do.
A very well written and informative book that every dog owner needs to have on their book shelf. Throughout a journey of heartache, laughter, and copious amounts of high value dog treat, Erika shows you how to ensure your dog leads a happy and wholesome life.
