Beschreibung
In his #1 New York Times bestselling autobiography Breaking the Surface, Greg Louganis included loving portrayals of his protectors and closest friends: his dogs. Now Greg, a breeder and trainer of Harlequin Great Danes, has teamed up with award-winning animal writer Betsy Sikora Siino to create an extraordinary and compassionate guide to dog ownership.

Greg's distinctive philosophy and practical tips -- which have produced his best-in-breed winners -- illuminate every page of this special volume that puts the dog's best interests first. Here are insights into choosing a dog, basic care, training, exercise, and nutrition -- and an overview of every stage of a dog's life.

Passionate in his opinions and wonderfully effective, Greg includes:
-- Cures for chewing, barking, biting, and other so-called behavior problems
-- Answers to the great housetraining disputes -- including the pros and cons of crating
-- Specific feeding programs for optimal nutrition -- and combating the greatest health threat to your dog: obesity
-- An exercise program for the canine athlete (and they're all athletes!)
-- Training tips for obedience, showing, and search-and-rescue
-- Preventive medicine, common illnesses from nose to tail, and age-related concerns
-- Advice on breeding, whelping, adopting your second (third, fourth...) dog, and more!

FOR THE LIFE OF YOU DOG is an inspiring and eye-opening reference. Delivered with Greg's delightful candor, his sound advice makes it a classic for new and long-time dog owners -- and anyone who has ever loved a dog.
