Overview

You've got your new dog, you've got the bowl, the collar and the lead. Now what? This puppy doesn't seem to understand anything you say! You got your pet to be your companion - and yet all you seem to do is yell at her! Let's change this right away: instead of focussing on what you don't want your dog to do, focus on what you do want. Instead of having unnecessary battles over trivia, build up terrific games your dog longs to play with you. Soon your unruly dog will be saying, ""Yes? What would you like me to do for you?"" And so begins a wonderful partnership. Beverley takes you by the hand and leads you through the games and lessons, step-by-step. There's no strange jargon, no ""Thou shalt not's"", and every time you get stuck, another solution pops up. Through years of experience teaching new owners how to work with their puppies and dogs - entirely without force - Beverley knows just what you're up against. The second book in the series Essential Skills for your Brilliant Family Dog continues the fun of training your family pet without force or intimidation. This book shows you how to teach your dog impulse control, so that he can earn great freedom in your home by being trustworthy around food, doorways, the children's toys, your best shoes ... and anything else a puppy may take a fancy to!

I now have all four of your books and am really enjoying them - I love your teaching methods. Marvin mastered the magic hand in one session yesterday to the point that when I sat down with a cuppa and chocolate biscuit this morning all I needed to do was cover the biscuit with my hand the the roving nose backed off and he lay down a few feet away. A first! Fiona and Marvin Read them all today! Brilliantly written with a compassionate and understanding voice. Sheila MacDonald Thank you for such a brilliant series of books. I bought Leave It! first & then bought the other three as soon as I'd finished it. I only wish I'd known about them when my dog was a pup. Liz and Fergus Having read the first book, with excellent results for my dog, I was keen to progress to this book and I have not been disappointed. The training is clearly explained with great problem-solving tips. We have been using the magic hand trick for over a week now and already I can drop a piece of food on the floor without it been snatched up, my dog is half Labrador so this is amazing! Still more to work on with this particular training but I am looking forward to reading and working through the next book. Amazon review The books are worth every penny. Leave it! has been very useful, and we can now leave a pile of horse-poo in exchange for a piece of chicken. Debbie Stott The book is wonderful and very helpful. Lewis Robinson
