Inside, you will discover how to: • Create a safer home without making your dog afraid to move • Support back health through sensible handling and controlled activity • Recognize pain, movement changes, and urgent warning signs • Maintain healthy body and muscle condition • Build safe walking and fitness routines • Teach useful skills with reward-based methods • Manage barking, digging, chasing, and separation problems • Care for smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired coats • Build realistic dental and preventive-care routines • Adapt exercise, enrichment, and home access for senior dogs The book also includes action pages, chapter checklists, appointment preparation forms, monthly reviews, medication records, emergency contacts, and a complete 52-week care tracker. Built for real life, this handbook helps you notice changes sooner, make clearer decisions, and communicate more effectively with veterinary and training professionals.
