About this ebook
Through her force-free work with thousands of dogs, Beverley Courtney can show you a new way in these readable, jargon-free books!
👉 In Book 1 you learned WHY your dog is doing what she does.
👉 Book 2 showed you WHAT you can do to start to make big changes.
👉 Now in Book 3 you’re going to see HOW to put those changes into action.
No longer will you be the owner of “that nasty dog” who is the curse of the neighbourhood. No longer will you have to walk at The Hour of the Difficult Dog in order to avoid every living creature on the planet. You can start to lose those labels of “reactive”, “fearful”, “anxious”, “aggressive” - even “boisterous and over-friendly”.
Beverley will give you specific techniques to deal with your dog’s reactivity - on the ground. Through her unique brand of empathy laced with humour, you will change your walks to pleasant outings, your time on the road will be less stressful for both of you - you’ll know just how to keep your dog calm and happy. And when he’s calm and happy, you’re calm and happy!
Along with the skills you’ve already learnt, the extensive Troubleshooting sections will show you exactly what to do in any given situation, because you’ll know why it’s happening, what you’d like to happen - and how to achieve that.
“I have had a brilliant walk with him today and he was really good with cars, people and other dogs with limited reactions. He seems to enjoy meeting other people and dogs now.” Joan and Shep, Border Collie
Can you believe that in a few short weeks this could be you? Complete the set with Book 3 in this transformative series.
About the author
Beverley Courtney has two strings to her bow! First, she is the author of the popular Brilliant Family Dog series of step-by-step, force-free dog training books.
And she is now emerging as a serious novelist, with her Literary Fiction novels "Keeping Tabs" and "Seeking Clarity", dealing with issues that so many women experience.
Beverley has lived with dogs all her life. She qualified her Battersea Dogs’ Home rescue Poppy as a Working Trials Champion - and has enjoyed herself hugely for many years helping new owners with their dogs and puppies through her books, classes, and online courses.
Using the latest scientific breakthroughs in dog behaviour, with a no-force / no-blame / no-shame approach, she is dedicated to improving communication between owner and dog. Once you jettison 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 discover the joy of choice-based training. The first four books address the four Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog (yes! there are just four!), featuring one of her students’ favourite skills - getting their frantic puppy to relax!
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 your walks with your dog again.
Get yourself a really useful dog, by mastering the retrieve with Fetch It!, so that after an enjoyable walk playing ball or frisbee, she can fetch your slippers and the tv remote for you!
And new puppy-owners, so often lost and at sea in this new world, can get things right from the start. New Puppy! will remove the frustration and guide you to build an unbreakable bond with your pup.
