You dream of getting a dog: a husky or a German shepherd? Or perhaps you prefer a mastiff or a labrador? Then this book is for you. All these breeds belong to the group of service dogs, characterized by highly developed intelligence, loyalty, strength, but at the same time requiring responsible care and knowledge in upbringing and training.
The authors of the book are professional dog handlers, graduates of the Service Dog Training Instructors School of DOSAAF, who present the basic questions in an engaging and accessible manner: breed selection and puppy acquisition, equipment, feeding and care, vaccinations and first aid, legal and regulatory aspects of dog ownership, practical skills in normative training (OKD and ZKS).
Bonus - an interactive app to the book in the form of electronic materials: gestures for command delivery, equipment selection, photos of dogs of different breeds, video interviews with the author, options for standard puppy sale contracts.
The book is adorned with artistic stories by the authors, based on years of experience and communication with dogs and their owners, subtly and deeply revealing the inner world and psychology of dogs.
