Review
Just got a puppy or a rescue dog? Don't know where to begin controlling him and prevent him from running riot around the house and you? Panic no more. This book by experienced trainers Caroline and Keith Davis will help you turn that hairy monster back into the little sweetie you were first so smitten with. There is nothing worse - or more stressful - than an uncontrollable dog in the home and the first instinct is that it is the dog that is causing the problem. But just think for a moment and you will see that it is your desire to keep the animal happy and unstressed that is causing the problem. You are afraid to tell it off or say "no" to it for fear of upsetting it and the end result is a four-legged terror ruling the home and family. This clearly written, well-photographed book will teach you how to instil some discipline into the animal without losing its love. From initial sit, down and stay to heel and recall each step covers the best methods to use, how to do it, where to do it and the psychology behind it - for both you and the dog. Whilst appreciating the small attention span of puppies, the weekends restrict themselves to the basics, gradually working up to more intense sessions to reinforce earlier lessons. For older dogs with a history of bad behaviour there are tips and retraining ideas, for "problem" dogs there are case histories, outlining how their owner's overcame them. This is a great book for all new dog owners and owners of existing dogs, tired of being taken for a walk or made to sit in a chair not of their own choosing! No dog owner should be without it. - Lucy Watson
