Is your dog driving you up the wall?

 

◆ Stealing and destroying anything that's not nailed down?

◆ Pulling your arm out of its socket on walks?

◆ Racing off into the blue yonder, deaf to your calls?

 

As a professional positive dog trainer Beverley Courtney knows just what you're up against! She's taught thousands of new owners how to work with their puppies and dogs - entirely without force.

 

You got your pet to be your loving 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 nonsense, learn terrific games your dog longs to play with you. Soon your unruly dog will be saying, "Yes? What would you like me to do?"

 

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. Her years of experience in face-to-face classes as well as in her popular online programs shine through.

 

Book 1 shows you how to find your dog's off-switch! Yes! Peace! You'll wonder how you managed before you learnt this skill.

Book 2 has you teaching your dog impulse control, so that by being trustworthy around food and doorways he gets greater freedom.

Book 3 brings you the Holy Grail of dog ownership - walking nicely on the lead. In just a couple of games a day, you'll get the calm walks you yearn for.

Book 4 teaches your dog the life-saving and sanity-preserving skill of coming back instantly on one call. He'll have such fun he'll be halfway back to you before he knows it.

About the author

Beverley Courtney

I’ve been training dogs for many years. First for competitive dog sports and over time to be stellar family pets. For most of my life, I’ve lived with up to four dogs, so I’m well used to getting a multi-dog household to run smoothly. It soon became clear that a force-free approach was by far the most successful, effective, and rewarding for me and the dogs. I’ve done the necessary studying for my various qualifications - for rehab of anxious and fearful “aggressive” dogs, early puppy development, and learning theory and its practical applications. I am continually studying and learning this endlessly amazing subject!
​​​​​​​
Continuing the dog obsession, I also draw portraits to commission - see https://www.beverleycourtney.com/drawings, and I write novels and cozy mysteries involving dogs - have a look at https://mybook.to/TamsinKernickCozies
​​​​​​​
There are some superb teachers and advocates of force-free dog training, and you’ll find those I am particularly indebted to in the Appreciation Section. Some of the methods I show you are well-known in the force- free dog training community, while many have my own particular twist.
​​​​​​​
A lot of my learning has come through my Puppy Classes, Puppy Walks, and Growly Dog Courses - first at Good for Dogs! in rural Worcestershire, and now at Brilliant Family Dog. These dog-owners are not looking for competition-standard training; they just want a Brilliant Family Dog they can take anywhere. It’s a particular joy for me to see a Growly Dog who arrived at the first session a reactive bundle of nerves and fear, who ends up able to cope with almost anything the world chucks his way - becoming a relaxed and happy dog with a confident owner in the process.
​​​​​​​
Working with real dogs and their real owners keeps me humble - and resourceful! It’s no good being brilliant at training dogs if you can’t convey this enthusiasm and knowledge to the person the dog has to live with. So I’m grateful for everything my students have taught me about how they learn best.
