Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog: Books 1-3: Understanding your fearful, reactive, or aggressive dog, and strategies and techniques to make change

Product Description

Are your dog walks a nightmare?
Lunging, barking, pulling you over, and putting on an astonishing display of aggression? 
You love your dog, who’s a perfect peach at home, so why on earth is she doing this?
Using entirely force-free proven methods, developed through extensive study and working with thousands of dog-owners – and a very readable, jargon-free approach touched with humour! – Beverley Courtney takes you step-by-step through the process of understanding, of change, and teaches you solid techniques to move you forward.
In this series of three books 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, screams, and lunges at everything she sees. No longer will you be subjected to the scorn of other dog-owners! You’ll learn why your dog is acting as she does, and with understanding comes patience and empathy.
Book 1 in this series Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog 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!
Book 2 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, Book 3 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 for your individual dog.

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.
