Synopsis

Does your dog steal anything that’s not nailed down?

Learn how you can

• leave food on the table

• forget shoes and toys on the floor

• know your rubbish is safe in the bin

- without having to mount an armed guard to protect it all from your family dog!

This book will take you step-by-step through some simple and surprising games which will turn your thieving rascal into a saintly pooch who can be trusted with cakes on the coffee table, dinner on the counter, biscuits in the children’s hands, and who will confine his chewing to the things you give him to chew.

Instead of saying “This is what you do,” then leaving you to it, professional positive dog trainer Beverley Courtney takes you by the hand and troubleshoots all the games so that you can get them absolutely right for you and your individual dog. And the joy is that this is all achieved without shouting, force, or intimidation. Just pure undiluted fun!

There’s no strange jargon, no “Thou shalt not’s”, and every time you get stuck, another science-backed solution pops up. Beverley’s years of experience - in face-to-face classes as well as her popular online programs - shine through. Having taught thousands of new owners how to work with their puppies and dogs - entirely without force - Beverley knows just what you’re up against!

Buy Book 2 in this series of Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog and discover how much you really can trust your doggy partner!

About this title

About the Author

Beverley Courtney has lived with dogs all her life. She qualified her first dog, a Battersea Dogs' Home rescue, as a Working Trials Champion - and has enjoyed herself hugely for many years helping new owners with their dogs and puppies. 

Using the latest scientific breakthroughs in dog behaviour, she is dedicated to improving communication between owner and dog. Once you ditch the idea that it's a one-way process ("I said SIT!") and start understanding how your dog learns, training becomes a breeze. 

Her fresh approach has helped hundreds of families to discover the joy of choice-based training.

Beverley's first four books address the problem so many new dog-owners experience - of wanting to love their new puppy at the same time as preventing mayhem in the home! She draws on her experience with her own pups, as well as the thousands who have learnt with her at *Brilliant Family Dog*, together with extensive and continuing study. And this means she can bring the gentle and humorous approach to training that her readers love! 

Beverley's next three books address the tricky problem many dog-owners experience - of having a dog who barks and reacts to other dogs. Or people. Or bikes ... Drawing on her own experience with her "Growly Dog" Lacy, together with extensive study, she brings the gentle and humorous approach that her readers love! There is no blame or shame here - just empathy, understanding, and masses of how-to's to get you enjoying calm walks with your dog again. 

Fetch It - teach your dog to retrieve, and the very popular New Puppy! How to survive the early weeks have anchored her place in the most popular dog training authors around.
