About the Book

In recent years our knowledge and understanding of dog behaviour has grown rapidly, as has the number of experts and their approaches. This introductory guide to dog adoption covers information based on the questions owners frequently ask. As dogs are as variable as people, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution, but with thebasic understanding contained in these pages, it is hoped that the reader will be guided to find solutions suited to their specific needs. There are many variables to consider and it is recommended that owners seek professional advice as early as possible. www.muttmatters.co.za welcomes input from readers.
