The Alaskan Malamute Club Victoria is pleased to announce that Dr. Ian Dunbar has given us permission to offer BEFORE You Get Your Puppy and AFTER You Get Your Puppy for free download to visitors to our website.

ABOUT DR. IAN DUNBAR:

Dr Ian Dunbar DVM, Ph. D. is a renowned veterinarian, veterinary behaviourist, author and lecturer on canine behaviour – who still delivers seminars around the world.  He founded the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (USA) in 1993 and its presence and membership has since spread to more than 26 countries worldwide, including Australia.  Dunbar is credited with launching what is now commonly regarded as the modern era in dog training, based on training, socialising and handling puppies before 6 months of age to prevent behavioural problems in later life.

 Dr Dunbar receives no financial benefit from the electronic distribution of his BEFORE & AFTER books, however owners who wish to purchase a hard copy may still do so from most good book outlets, or directly from James & Kenneth Publishing http://www.jamesandkenneth.com/.

 

BEFORE You Get Your Puppy describes the process of selecting a puppy and preparing for their first days at home, as well as the key developmental deadlines including socialisation and bite inhibition.  It also offers training advice on topics every owner needs to know about, like toilet training and chew toy training.

A NOTE FROM THE SECRETARY:
Hopefully we all made it through Christmas and the New Year Celebrations without having to search for our pets! I know we did. One of our girls is quite anxious around loud noises (storms, fireworks, loud kids, etc..) so we had her locked up nice and tight for the night on New Years Eve, and thankfully we made it out the other side safely.

Just a couple of points to note as the weather begins to warm up:

  • Make sure you pooches have plenty of cool fresh water to drink. It is rather warm at the moment (despite the floods in Queensland) and our fluffy pups do suffer a little.
  • Try giving them some frozen watermelon. It works a treat for cooling them down in a hurry.

And as usual, stay safe :)

Happy New Year!
