Often referred to as “the King of the Toys” by those in the know, these diminutive but dynamic dogs were originally employed on German farms as pest control. While they are small in size, Miniature Pinschers are not lapdogs but athletic, driven canines who respond best to a firm but loving approach. Miniature Pinschers are delightfully entertaining companions, but the novice owner may need some extra guidance when raising this bold breed. They require regular training sessions and daily exercise or they can quickly become unruly, demanding, and manipulative. Learn everything that you need to know to raise your dog from a lively Pinscher pup to a curious and confident adult with a dignified air. These little dogs make animated and entertaining companions that will keep you on the move. Miniature Pinscher parents will find themselves reaching for this handy manual over and over again. The valuable information contained in this guide is designed to help you navigate pet ownership, from selecting the right canine companion for your home to caring for your dog throughout his senior years. This thorough volume is a must-have manual for anyone who adores the Miniature Pinscher breed.

The Other End of the Leash

ISBN: 0307489183
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Miniature Pinschers
Author: Augusten S.
Publisher: Hyperink Inc
ISBN: 1614648484
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK Miniature Pinschers are a unique, sassy breed with broad appeal. The Miniature Pinscher has been bred over time to handle the specific demands and requirements of farmers, so these dogs have a high-energy personality that does not waver much between individuals. How did Miniature Pinschers make it into the hearts and homes of millions? We can only answer this question by looking back at their history. The Miniature Pinscher originates in Germany, and is surprisingly unrelated to Doberman Pinschers. This breed’s closest ancestors are the Italian Greyhound and the Dachshund, both of whom also have sleek, sporty frames. Miniature Pinschers were originally bred to be a hunting breed; they were not house pets, but working dogs often left to their own devices. Their characteristic cropped ears and tail, as outlined in the American Kennel Club's (AKC) guidelines, trace back to the breed's history as a hunter, as ears and tails were often cropped short to minimize the risk of damage and infection from rodent bites or errant horse hooves. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Treat your dog with a flea and tick preventative in the spring and summertime. Fleas, ticks, and other insects carry parasites and other illnesses, making them a risk as well as a nuisance. If your dog spends any time outdoors, he should have a flea and tick preventative to ward off any intruders. This keeps your home and indoor pets safe from pests as well. Your veterinarian will likely have recommendations for safe preventatives, so be sure to ask during your annual visit if you are at all uncertain. Miniature Pinschers are fairly healthy dogs, but they are prone to a few breed-specific conditions. First and foremost, Miniature Pinschers’ skinny legs are prone to injuries. If you have children, special care must be taken to ensure all play is safe. On a similar note, Miniature Pinschers are prone to kneecap displacement. Aging Miniature Pinschers are prone to hip joint degeneration, so regular veterinary examinations and possible supplementation are an excellent idea when your Miniature Pinscher reaches advanced age. Glucosamine supplementation and anti-inflammatory drugs are excellent options for arthritic pets. However, the best medicine is prevention, so do your best to provide your young Miniature Pinscher plenty of exercise to encourage the development of strong joints and bones...
