| So here you are, right next to a new dog who just entered the house, and whose life history you know
little or nothing about. Now what? How do you welcome an adult or adolescent dog into your home and incorporate this new individual
into your family? This booklet is designed to help you ease the transition from "new dog" to "family member"
by guiding you through the first steps of this new relationship. |
| Love Has No Age Limit includes
information on what to do as you enter the house, how to handle the first few days, what to do and what not to do as you get
to know each other, and tips on everything from the car ride home to the first vet visit. It includes advice on training and
a section on solving common behavioral problems to helps prevent the most frequent dilemmas that people encounter when adopting
a new dog. |
| "If you are considering adopting a dog from a shelter then 'Love Has No
Age Limit' will be your perfect companion. Packed with great information, this book will make the transition period
from shelter to home a lot easier for you and your dog. For shelters, 'Love Has No Age Limit' will give adopters a unique
support system, thereby increasing the rate of successful adoptions by helping to keep dogs in their new homes." |
| Victoria Stilwell, Animal Planet's It's Me or the Dog |
| "They say, you can't judge a book
by its cover but as soon as I saw the dear old dog on the cover of Patricia McConnell and Karen London's Love Has No Age Limit,
I just knew I would love the book. And I do. Yet another outrageous success by Patricia and Karen. I have always been a champion
of adopting adult dogs and this book is most certainly a valuable resource for anyone welcoming an adult dog into their home.
Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Let Patricia and Karen show you how." |
| Dr. Ian Dunbar, DVM, founder of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers |
| "Love has No Age Limit is the book shelter dogs have been praying for. This book takes the worry
out of adopting adolescent and adult dogs--who comprise most of the dogs who end up at shelters. This wonderful new book is
like having two of America's top dog trainers right beside you from the moment you take your new dog home. With calm, friendly,
specific language, Patricia McConnell and Karen London give you the guidance you need to give an adopted dog the forever home
he or she deserves, and to turn a homeless animal into loving and beloved member of your family." |
| Meg Boscov, CPDT-KA, Co-founder of Mutt Match, Philadelphia, PA |
| "Giving an animal a second chance at a forever home is truly a special
thing. This book is a wonderful resource for anyone considering adopting a dog into their family." |
| Pam McCloud Smith, Executive Director of Dane County Humane Society, Madison, WI |
| "At last animal shelters and rescues have a reasonably priced and well
written book to send home with adopters. Love Has No Age Limit is easy to read and covers everything the new owner of
an adult dog should know before and after they bring their new family member home to ensure a successful transition.
HAWS will be encouraging all of our dog adopters to obtain and read a copy of this book." |
