How To Love and Survive Your Teenage Dog

All dogs (and humans) have to go through the teenage phase to reach the stability of adulthood. Some dogs breeze through this stage with barely a glitch, but most of us will have a challenging time.
It is normal to sometimes feel despondent or disappointed because we thought we did everything right when they were puppies and now nothing seems to be working. The challenges of the teenage phase are real and can put our relationship with our dog at risk.

It does not have to be like this! This book will help you to understand your teenage dog better and navigate these challenges, by covering: an understanding of the unique challenges you and your teenage dog face; why and how your relationship matters in the training process; the role of anthropomorphism and consideration of dog emotions and minds; the benefits of positive reinforcement; the importance of lifelong socialisation; how to keep your and your dog’s sanity despite some common setbacks; and promoting the value of calmness.

You can – and should – enjoy your teenage dog despite the difficult behaviours they show. The reward is
a happy and well-adjusted friend for life!

A Study of You by You

AT THE PRINTER – COMING SOON 

One of the world’s leading performance scientists presents in simple terms some strategies to help you enhance your everyday life.

Dr Craig Duncan provides the basic concepts, the regimen and the vision for implementing the philosophy of “self-science”, a way of living that focuses on the importance of self-exploration and self-awareness as a pathway to a better life.

Using the knowledge gained from working alongside elite athletes in professional sport, and also from his personal experience, Dr Duncan has developed a system to help anyone who wants to reach their full potential.

This is about you becoming involved in the management of your life, rather than being a spectator.

Traffic Offences in South Australia

Traffic offences are the most expiated, and prosecuted of any category of offences in South Australia. Arguably no other area of the law so directly engages the community.

Traffic Offences in South Australia offers a concise and comprehensive account of the law regulating drivers and the driving of motor vehicles.
Its coverage extends from drivers licences and demerit points, to driving offences, including driving whilst disqualified, drink and drug driving, and the more significant Australian Road Rules. On each it identifies the relevant Supreme Court cases and the principles decisive to their resolution. The book also identifies issue of procedure, proof and defence at trial drawn from the author’s substantial practical experience in this area.

Organised by subject topic the book serves both lawyers, police prosecutors and the community. Its easy and readable style is designed to offer ready insight and provide quick answers to those faced with questions in this otherwise complex area of the law.

1001 Trivia Questions

Sort Out the Experts from the Pretenders

Trivia Book to challenge those that think the know everything about trivia or for those who want to know some more interesting facts.

 

I have always been interested in history, geography or whose who. When I look around I ask myself does this function have a name or who won this event and so on and this led me to start writing down questions and answer.

I started this as a add hoc process in 1998 and added to it very slowly until late 2016 I decided to finish my idea of a trivia book. Now retired I had the time and over those years I traveled to numerous countries and built up new knowledge.


Friends also put up with me asking them “do you know …..” so to put those knockers I hit the task in November 2016 and am looking at June 2017 with an end product.

If nothing else trivia questions keep the grey cells working and you would be surprised what you really know when you put your mind to it and even learn something new.
I would not say I am a trivia nut but someone who enjoys a mental challenge and learning

About the Author

I must thank my long suffering wife Terri and give credit to my daughter in law Jackie Wood for the excellent drawings at the start of each chapter. The wonderful cartoons throughout the book were done by the very talented cartoonist David Kowalick. All this would not have come together without the excellent staff at Green Hill Publishing.

The friends who put up with me asking “Did you know……” questions over the years deserve a medal. I might mention I started this project in 1998 and dabbled at it but in late 2016 there was a push to finish this project and get the knockers off my back. I wanted to prove to myself also that I could achieve my 1998 dream and get this trivia book out there. If nothing else but gets people’s grey cells working and learn some new facts can’t be a bad thing.

Choosing and Bringing Up

Your Puppy

In this witty no-nonsense guide to puppy selection and training, veteran dog trainer Peter Franks, gives the facts, poses relevant questions to the reader  and provides instruction on how to train a new puppy so that she or he matures into a well mannered, loving and responsive member of the family.

There are many photographs, sketches, cartoons and True Stories to help illustrate what Peter has to say.

Peter gives advice on:

  • how to identify the dog breed which best suits you and/or your family
  • where you can look for a puppy
  • what you need to get for and how to prepare your home for the new family member.
  • toilet training
  • consecutive training instructions – the sit, stand, down, recall, the stay,  walking and place up (heel).
  • There is a chapter on rescue dogs, another on what Peter calls the fear factor and yet another on how to deal with common behaviour problems such as separation anxiety and dominance.

In the Appendix there is information on Obedience Competitions. Peter uses the Companion Dog – Novice Class Competition as an example to:

  • state the Australian National Kennel Council Rule Book requirements
  • tease out what the rules mean
  • provide training tips for each exercise in the Competition.

About the Authors

Peter would like to thank his wife June for her support, encouragement and advice over the past 55 years. There are several others who have influenced him throughout his competition years, dog training career and Judging role. Pat Baily for her help in training his Golden Retriever Woody for the NSW State Titles Competition (Woody won the Novice Gold Medal). Thanks to George Bartolo for encouraging Peter to become an instructor, to Lucy Ellem who was his mentor and who gave Peter the incentive to join the NSW Canine Council and then to undertake his training to become a Judge. And to Danny and Silvia Wilson of BarkBusters™ for their encouragement over the years.

A special acknowledgement must go to Dog behaviourist John Fisher (author of “Think Dog”) who completely changed Peter’s approach to dog training from negative training where harsh words and actions are used, to positive training in which dogs are rewarded for trying and/ or doing something correctly. Beverly would like to thank her husband Daniel for his encouragement to get a dog; a dog who has improved their lives in so many ways.

Peter and Beverly would also like to express their gratitude to Kyle and Erin Charnock for allowing them onto their property and Eraky Labradors kennel at his farm in Bargo; to Wendy Donahue of Golden Retriever Rescue Inc for allowing them to use information directly from their website and for information on Roger.

Also thanks to the Committee of the Illawarra Dog Training Club for allowing us to attend a training session and to take photos while there. They really appreciated Noah’s mother Ros Southhall, for giving us Noah’s story and photo. There are many of Peter’s clients who have generously allowed their dogs to become part of this publication. Last but not least, we acknowledge Denis Ivaneza’s photographic expertise (Inner Visions) in getting some tricky shots for us.
