Sam's muzzle is gray, and his eyes are cloudy. He prefers to nap under his blanket instead of playing endless rounds of fetch. Sam is slowing down. Does this describe your beloved dog? If so, they may be entering their senior years. My Senior Dog, A Complete Guide to Caring for Your Old Dog, can help you make this time golden!

This book unpacks 30 years of dog care experience. From medical conditions and diet management to grooming tips and dog-approved life hacks, rest assured that you will find your answers in My Senior Dog.

¿ How to cater to your dog's reduced mobility and keep them active

¿ When to say goodbye and how to heal from your loss
You'll also find 13 proven life hacks to improve the daily life of your senior dog!

I can't remember a time in my life when I was not completely obsessed with dogs! Especially the ones that nobody else wants. Growing up, I had to constantly resist the urge to bring home every stray puppy I saw, and each time, my heart broke a little more. When the opportunity finally arose for me to provide one of these lost souls with the perfect home, I drove straight to the shelter.
However, I soon found myself overwhelmed by all the problems that come with rescuing a dog, so I set out to learn the best way to train and heal my new soulmate. Inspired by my favorite behaviorists and dog trainers, I decided to follow in their footsteps and help as many people and pups as possible.
For the last 30 years, I have dedicated my time to studying different training techniques?the good, the bad, and the ugly?and I came to learn exactly which ones produced the results I wanted. The end goal is never just a trained dog. The goal is a well-adjusted, healthy, and happy dog.
I soon learned that training them was easy, but losing them is hard. When my Gizmo slipped into his senior years, my world was turned upside down. I was so focused on the present that I hadn't put any thought into the future. In those last years, our roles were reversed. He became the trainer, and I, the trainee. The lessons I learned from him have stayed with me forever and prepared me for the inevitable love and loss I would experience again and again.
My books are compiled of tried and true techniques, life lessons, and healthy coping mechanisms that have personally helped me to work with and love my dogs. I am confident that I can provide them the best life from puppy to senior that they deserve and by the time you finish reading this, you will be too.
