DOG

New Dog Dementia Journal (On Sale!)

Two book covers:
"Remember Me? Loving and Caring for a Dog with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction" and "My Dog's Dementia hournal," both by Eileen Anderson

Sale Has Ended

Hi friends!

I have created a little journal to accompany my book, Remember Me? Loving and Caring for a Dog with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction.

To debut the new journal, I have put all my books on sale at 30% off.

Availability

The paperbacks are available at the sale price only at Amazon, and I’m sorry about that for those who do not support that business. But I also put the ebook of Remember Me on sale on my own website where you can buy it directly from me. Use the coupon code JULYSALE to get the discount. Again, that is the ebook version of my book on canine cognitive dysfunction, not the journal, which doesn’t exist in ebook form.

About the Journal and Who It’s For

The journal is a “perfect” bound paperback, just a regular paperback, with 126 lined pages (see samples below). Half of the lined pages have either prompts, tips, or words of encouragement for people who care for dogs with canine cognitive dysfunction.

I created the journal for people who are new to caring for a dog with dementia and may not have any experience with training or enrichment for dogs in general. The journal includes a list of possible symptoms that can be taken to the owner’s vet, and I gently urge people to track their dogs’ symptoms. It provides a central place for owners to keep notes on their dogs and their own journey. The words of encouragement in the journal pages might be the most important part, because goodness knows how lonely and difficult it can be to care for a beloved but impaired dog.

The journal is not highly structured. It has a three-page intro from me, an “About My Dog” page, and the list of possible symptoms. The rest of the book is lined pages, blank except for the prompts, tips, and encouraging words at the top of the right hand pages.

If it’s financially feasible, I’ll create a spiral-bound version of the journal through another printer, but it will cost significantly more.

If you are looking for a structured journal from a veterinary medical professional to help you care for a senior dog, I recommend Dr. Mary Gardner’s Geriatric Dog Health & Care Journal.

A spread of two book pages, one of which has a short introduction (see below) and the other of which has a prompt that says: "What's something you're proud of that you've done for your dog?"

Introduction to the journal section:

"There are writing prompts, tips, and words of encouragement on all the odd-numbered (right-hand) pages of this journal.

🖊️Prompts
💡 Tips
🖤 Words of encouragement

Also keep in mind the value of describing your dog’s behavior changes as these happen.

But this is your journal, to use however you want. Feel free to track only the behavior changes, respond to the prompts as they come along, or write about something else entirely!

Good luck with your beloved dog."

Book cover: "Remember Me? Loving and Caring for a Dog with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction" by Eileen Anderson

Book cover: "Puppy Socialization: What It Is and How to Do It," by Marge Rogers and Eileen Anderson

Marge Rogers and I decided to include the puppy socialization book, too! This is the lowest price on the paperback we’ve ever offered!

Feel free to share this post. I’m sure some of you trainers out there have clients who could benefit from a place to put all their notes about their senior dog.
