Canine Partners to Benefit from Hearts, Minds and Paws
bradleysmum writes: " Monday 30th October 2006: Canine Partners (Registered Charity No. 803680) who specialise in providing highly trained assistance dogs to people with disabilities will benefit from a new, fascinating and fully-illustrated book on dogs and working dogs to be published in November. Written by internationally renowned lecturer, educator and trainer of dogs, Nina Bondarenko, the book will both inform and move us on the extraordinary powers of our canine partners.
This coffee-table book will feature a Foreword by His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester KG GCVO, Patron of the Charity and an Introduction by Rosemary Smart, Chief Executive of The Kennel Club. Features will include a myriad of stories about dogs, their achievements and the ways they have literally transformed the lives of individuals. There are techniques for selecting a breed, knowing about and caring for dogs, as well as top tips for training your dog and fascinating insights into how dogs use senses we hardly understand, to help solve the most intricate crimes.
Author Nina Bondarenko has spent 15 years with Canine Partners and is Director of Canine Training Development. She has judged internationally, demonstrated for HM The Queen and developed the “Puppy Education System of errorless learning”. A consultant for the International Association of Animal Behaviour Counselors, Nina is also the Presenter of the training video: “Understanding and Training your Puppy”, as well as ITV’s “Barking Babes” and Meridian TV’s “Dogs with Dunbar”.
“We are delighted to be involved in this stunning book,” comments Terry Knott, CEO of Canine Partners. “We feel that any dog lover will be spellbound, intrigued and moved by the content of ‘Hearts, Minds and Paws’. It will make an ideal present, for Christmas and beyond, and is guaranteed to be an inspirational and informative read.
Hearts, Minds and Paws is available now via www.akdpress.com or by calling 01243 779378. The book is priced at £19.95, with 25% being donated to the Canine Partners charity - training dogs to help transform the lives of people with disabilities.
