Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The grey appears before the decline, but most owners keep training as if neither has arrived. Ingrid Duval'sinsightful book explores the gap between recognizing your dog is aging and actually changing how you workwith them.When a dog slows down, familiar routines stop working the way they once did-the same commands at thesame speed meet confusion instead of compliance, and the walk that once energized them now exhausts. DogTraining for Senior Dogs: The Golden Years is not a medical manual, a nostalgia piece, or a guide to prolongingyouth. Instead, it shows you how to rewrite your training approach to match the dog in front of you now, not theone you remember.Through grounded observations of aging dogs, you will recognize the quiet shifts that demand new strategies: - The Not Seeing: Why you miss the first signs of aging even as they accumulate, and how denial keepsyou training a dog who no longer exists.- The Pace Mismatch: Why pulling harder when your dog slows down defeats both of you, and whatadjusting your expectations actually looks like.- Memory Moments: How cognitive changes show up as three-second pauses in familiar routines, and whyrepeating old commands louder never solves the real problem.- The Night Witness: Why distress surfaces after dark when the house goes quiet, and what nighttimerestlessness reveals about daytime pain.Every chapter delivers practical adjustments to help you meet your senior dog where they are. Learn how toslow your pace without lowering your standards, recognize when confusion is cognitive rather than stubborn, and build routines that support rather than stress an aging body. Start reading Dog Training for Senior Dogs: The Golden Years today and give your dog the training their current life actually needs.
