| Monday, August 25, 2008 |
One major problem facing dog owners today is knowing when to take your dog to the vet. I mean, its not as if he can tell you how he's feeling. So how do you know when to take him? You certainly don't want to lay out $50-$100 on a doctors visit, let alone a visit to the vet. Especially if you find out it was a wasted visit.
I have owned dogs my entire life and this decision has plagued me time and time again. Do I take him today, or wait to see if he is better tomorrow?, or Does he seem like he is feeling better today? In my opinion you are better safe than sorry, and should take him if you don't know. Of course this line of sight will often land you in the vet's office when you don't need to be.
Enter The Ultimate Guide To Dog Health
This guide is written by Malcolm Fields, who is a dog care professional. Basically this guide is designed for people asking the above questions of themselves. Agonizing over the decision of whether or not to take a trip down to the doggy doctor. It offers a complete and detailed view of all the common dog health problems. The overall focus of the book is on being prepared and taking preventative action. One important topic covered is self-diagnosis. You will be able to follow along with step by step flowcharts telling you whether the dog should see a vet or not, and how urgently the vet should be seen. This manual has a lot of information including tips and advice from veterinarians and experts on dog care.
Sounds Good, But What's Actually Inside?
The book covers all the common problems suffered by dogs today. You will find issues such as ear infections, worms, dental problems(toothaches), and eye irritation. It also covers chronic problems like vomiting and diarrhea, breathing problems and asthma, and liver problems. The more serious issues covered include things like arthritis and cancer, and symptomatic "alerts" like hair loss, lethargy and sudden changes in behavior.
The manual will also teach you how to pick up early warning signs of your dog's ill health. It shows how to pick up on body language, and recognize signs of health trouble through behavioral and physical changes. Other important issues covered are giving your dog medicine, effective grooming and taking care of teeth and gums.
It may sound like a lot, but the author has made sure to separate the information in a logical and easy to follow way. It also has diagrams and flowcharts to help you ease through the material and use as reference points for practical use.
Along with the fully illustrated 240 page book, the folks over at The Ultimate Guide to Dog Health throw in some freebies when you buy their product. Included with it are:

| The Ultimate House Training Guide Review |
| Sunday, August 24, 2008 |
So, What Can I Expect From This Guide?
The Ultimate House Training Guide is an excellent resource designed to help people overcome the most frustrating and difficult part of dog ownership. Obviously, I am talking about trying to housebreak, or house train your dog. Inside you will find a comprehensive look at the topic of house training and methods on how to properly train your dog.
The topic has as many theories and training methods as China has people, but many of them are confusing or just plain wrong. You can also find a boatload of conflicting information from different sources. Much of the advice is given by people who really don't know what they are talking about. Many dog owners take their training advice from friends and neighbors, who have no qualifications to know about dog training. Worse yet are the charlatans who claim to have "breakthrough techniques", yet they have no dog training experience.
What's different About This Book?
The Ultimate House Training Guide is written by Martin Oliver. He is a veterinarian and know what he is talking about, when it comes to dogs. The book sets a conversational tone where the author covers every aspect of the topic of housebreaking your dog. Just like the title suggests the guide is a thorough look into the subject, with a logical format that can be easily followed.
Okay, But What Is Covered Inside?
The book starts with a section on how to arm yourself properly for the endeavor. It talks about patience, persistence, consistency, and common sense. After some advice that can help give you a positive boost it gets right to the heart of the matter: How to house train, with detailed sections for each of the three recommended training methods. The methods included are crate training, paper training, and the direct method. Each method has a section for puppies and one for older dogs!
Next we move on to common house training problems. This is the best part of the entire book. A huge variety of issues are covered. Topics covered range from territorial marking to poop eating. Each problem covered has its own case study, helping you to put it in context and learn by real life examples.
Health related problems are covered next. This is a pretty indepth look that covers congenital problems that your dog is born with, disease related problems that come about in later life, and problems related to house training like lawn-burn from urination.
Last up, the Top Ten Tips For Hassle Free House Training. Basically this section goes over what we have learned so far, summarizing the most helpful and necessary attitude adjustments, tips, and important nuggets of info that will help you the most when training your dog.
I Know What Your Thinking...
Sounds confusing right? So much information jumbled into one ebook. How am I gonna find the useful information. The book does have a lot of information, but it is laid out in a logical order teaches you step-by-step in order of what you need to learn. Not to mention the helpful illustrations featuring the program's mascot Spot-Less.
But What If I Still Can't House Train My Dog?
I would have to say that the most valuable part of this program is that you get a free, personalized email consultation with the team at Kingdom of Pets. If you need additional help getting your dog housebroken just shoot out an email and you will get a professional opinion on how to handle the problem. These aren't just some generic responses either. This is a personal response which will help you correct your dog's specific problem.
Overall I give it two thumbs up. It provides a detailed, easy to read look at house training your dog. The author's depth of knowledge is impressive and he seems to know exactly how to teach the topic so even the newest dog owner can follow along.
