Move! eBook Training and exercise programme for the growing young dog
38.99CHF
Movement is life and life is movement. This is especially true for physical creatures such as dogs.
In order for the musculoskeletal system to develop healthily and efficiently from the outset, it is important to observe a few basic rules, especially when it comes to dogs that will later be used for sports or service work. However, the same principles apply to family dogs, albeit with a different emphasis. Dr. Blättler-Monnier has been working on the healthy growth of puppies and young dogs for almost twenty years and is convinced that many, if not most, later orthopaedic problems are self-inflicted and often wrongly blamed on genetics.
Here you will learn what to look out for when your dog is still a puppy, which outdated rules of thumb need to be thrown out, and how you can sensibly and systematically support your dog’s muscle development and fitness. The author also takes you through the basics of functional orthopaedics so that you are able to recognise signs of structural changes at an early stage, before a pathology develops. The role of nutrition, including dietary supplements, is also examined in detail and critically.
With specific training plans for different requirement profiles, numerous case studies and links to videos.
Description
Move! Training and Movement Development for the Growing Young Dog
Ebook by Dr. med. vet. Patrick Blättler-Monnier (only available in english)
Movement is Life: Keeping Our Canine Companions Healthy
Movement is absolutely vital for all living creatures, and that’s especially true for dogs, given how physical they are by nature. To ensure their musculoskeletal system develops healthily and robustly right from the start, it’s crucial to follow some fundamental guidelines. This is particularly important for dogs destined to be active sport or working dogs, but the same principles apply to family pets too, albeit with different emphasis.
Early Development and Preventing Orthopaedic Issues
Dr. Blättler-Monnier has dedicated nearly twenty years to studying the healthy growth of puppies and young dogs. He firmly believes that many, if not most, future orthopaedic problems are ‘home-grown’ meaning they stem from early rearing practices and are often unfairly blamed on genetics.
What You’ll Learn: From Puppyhood to Advanced Care
This guide will walk you through what you need to consider during puppyhood, highlight outdated rules of thumb that urgently need discarding, and show you how to sensibly and systematically support your dog’s muscle and fitness development. The author also delves into the basics of functional orthopaedics, empowering you to spot early signs of structural changes before they turn into full-blown pathologies. The role of nutrition and supplements is also thoroughly and critically examined.
You’ll find concrete training plans tailored for various activity levels, numerous case studies, and links to helpful videos.
