Synopsis:

Does your dog steal anything that isn’t nailed down?
Learn how to turn your cheeky thief into a dog you can finally trust around food, floors, bins – and everything in between.

In this practical, fun, force-free guide, professional positive dog trainer Beverley Courtney shows you how to stop scavenging and stealing through simple games that build self-control. You’ll learn how to:

• leave food safely on counters and tables
• stop bin-raiding and floor-hoovering
• protect shoes, toys, remote controls and kids’ snacks
• teach rock-solid Leave It and Drop It
• enjoy a calmer, more reliable family dog

Instead of handing you a list of commands, Beverley takes you step by step through the games, troubleshooting as you go so you can tailor everything to your own dog. No shouting, no punishment – just kind, science-based solutions that really work for everyday life.

Whether you’re dealing with a puppy who grabs everything or an adult dog who steals for sport, this book will help you transform chaos into calm collaboration.

Start Book 2 in the Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog series – and discover how lovely life becomes when your dog finally stops nicking everything!

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.
