by Beverley Courtney (Author)
All three books in the series Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog in one volume. In this book for anxious, fearful, aggressive, or reactive dogs, you have everything you need to build confidence in both you and your dog, so that you can say goodbye to those distressing scenes when your dog barks and lunges at everything he sees. No longer will you be subjected to the scorn of other dog-owners! You'll learn why your dog is acting as he does, and with understanding comes patience and empathy.
Using entirely force-free proven methods - and a jargon-free approach touched with humour, Beverley takes you step-by-step through the process of understanding, of change, and teaches you solid techniques to move you forward.
The first book will bring you lots of "Aha!" moments as your dog's complex thoughts are revealed to you. It's essential to understand what's going on before you can make any changes. It will also explain a lot of other things your dog does, and why. And key to all this is what you bring to the partnership!
The second book goes into the detail of what you're going to change and how, what approaches will work best, and what you need to make it all work. Lots of Lessons in this book. And much of this will involve change for you: exciting!
Finally, the third book gets you out there with your dog, enjoying a new way of walking and interacting with her, and making the scenes you've endured before - mercifully! - a thing of the past. Lots more Lessons here, and Troubleshooting sections to cover all the "what ifs" you'll come up with.
