Is your dog pulling your arm out of its socket?

 

Learn how to

  • build a fervent desire in your dog to walk nicely beside you

In this unusual book, Beverley Courtney will show you step-by-step the secrets of walking your dog without needing roller-skates - or shoulder surgery.

The troubleshooting "What if?" sections cover all your questions, and down-to-earth advice is given to help you and your dog learn a new way of enjoying walks together.

 

There's no strange jargon, no "Thou shalt not's", and every time you get stuck, another solution pops up. Beverley's years of experience as a professional positive dog trainer - in face-to-face classes as well as in her popular online programs - shine through. Having taught thousands of new owners how to work with their puppies and dogs - entirely without force - Beverley knows just what you're up against!

Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog

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.
