Who this book is for: All dog owners. For those who only dream of having a pet From the author: Any dog ​​changes your life in one way or another. I never thought that one handsome man - a cross between a Siberian Husky and an Alaskan Malamute - would change my life so much, but it just so happened. <...> I was constantly baffled by what I read about dogs or saw on TV. A dog should not go ahead of the owner on a walk - but the Phantom was a sled dog, and they always run ahead of the sled, otherwise how can they be dragged? The owner has to eat before the dog - but this is inconvenient, since our daily routine included feeding the animals first. The owner must be able to take something out of the dog's mouth, such as a bone. Well, what nonsense! The Ghost had huge teeth, and I didn't want to risk finding out how dangerous they were. In addition, it was quite possible to agree with him when it came to the exchange of items. If I wanted to take the ball from him, he was happy to exchange it for treats. Why get into a confrontation when it's not necessary? <...> I want to note that for me the myths about the content of the dog - there was before her and other advice that I heard on TV - dispelled. However, they are still widespread. At the same time, the volume of scientific - really reliable - knowledge about dogs has increased dramatically. While we still don't know much, we understand dogs better than ever before. <...> This book is about what science tells us about dogs and how it affects their well-being. It tells how to get a dog, how to train it, what is the social behavior of dogs, how do they play, what do they eat, how much sleep and how to manage the stress of visiting the veterinarian. There's even a chapter on pet extinction for those going through this difficult period (although it's ideal to read something about death long before you experience it). I refer to scientific studies, but I try to present the information clearly and simply so as not to overload the reader with terminology. I also cite the opinions of experts who answered my question: what can be done to make this world a better place for dogs? After each chapter - step-by-step recommendations: how to apply scientific data in practice. They are realistic and based on facts. The checklist at the end of the book will help you understand how to use all of the ideas here.
