The book's three hundred and sixteen pages contain sixteen Detailed chapters and are well illustrated with vintage photographs. The Story of the Watch-Dog. The Necessity for a Watch-Dog. Uses of a Watch-Dog. Purchasing a Dog. Training Dogs. Feeding, Exercising and Grooming. A Dog on its Travels. Breeding Dogs and Rearing Pups. The Dog's Health. Kenneling.

This is a fascinating read for any historian or enthusiast of the Guard and Watch-Dog types, but especially for lovers of the Airedale Terrier. The book also contains much information and advice that is still useful and practical today.

    Dog Agility Training And Equipment

    Dog Agility Training And Equipment Review






    Dog Agility Training And Equipment Overview


    Have more fun with your dog by turning him into a high-performance athlete, and increase his life span at the same time with these easy-to-learn dog agility training routines.

    Under-active dogs have less endurance and stamina and are almost always overweight. This leads to increased strain on the heart, lungs and skeletal systems. When a dog's body has to work harder than it was intended to, sickness often follows close behind.

    Dogs may look different than we do, but their bodies function pretty much the same as ours. Their hearts, lungs and other internal organs can suffer from physical neglect just like ours can.

    A healthy diet and a good exercise program will do wonders for your dog and, to tell the truth, exercising your dog will go a long way towards keeping you in shape at the same time!

    A domesticated dog's lifestyle isn't anything like a wolf's or coyote's. Wild canine relatives get all the exercise they need from hunting and staving off their enemies. Domestic dogs have a soft life and that typically shows up as poor muscle tone, reduced stamina and a big belly. Unless you own a working dog, you probably know exactly what I mean.

    But let's face it. Exercise can be just as boring for dogs as it is for many people. But what if you could give your dog all the exercise he needed and do it in a way that could provide both of you some serious fun at the same time?
    We're talking about agility training, a recognized competitive sport that pits dog and owner against other dogs and their owners in a competition to complete an obstacle course within a specified period of time.

    Courses vary in design, but most of them include challenges like ramps, tunnels, see-saws and hurdles. Dogs are challenged to do things like weave through poles or run through a tunnel and then scale a ramp.

    The sport demands teamwork between the dog who must perform all of the activities and the owner who is tasked with guiding the dog through the course as quickly as possible using basic commands.

    It's just as much about the dog’s skill as the skill of the owner or handler.

    Dog Agility Training and Equipment is designed for anyone who wants to:

    Help their dog build strength and stamina.

    Challenge themselves and their dogs to become winners.

    Meet other dogs and owners in a friendly competitive environment.


    Wouldn't you love to come home with a First Place ribbon that your dog earned with their skills and not their good looks and breeding?
