Book Description
Is walking your dog the ultimate nightmare? As she screams, barks, and lunges at other dogs and people? Stop the cycle now, with professional force-free dog trainer Beverley Courtney’s life-changing series of books for Growly Dogs. You know your dog has a lovely personality. She’s smashing at home - loves playing with the children, does what you ask, settles quietly when you’re busy. But outside ... or perhaps when visitors come ... you have a different dog. The ruckus she makes when confronted with a strange person, a strange dog, even a strange bag, is upsetting for you and frightening for everyone else. She ducks and dives, lunges and surges, barks, snarls, and growls: who wouldn’t be alarmed? 👉 In Book 1 you saw what is happening, why it’s happening, why it’s getting worse, and what you can change to begin the transformation you’re looking for - so people can stop seeing your dog as reactive, anxious, fearful, aggressive, and admire the friendly dog you know and love! 👉 Now Book 2 goes into far greater detail to give you strategies and techniques to avoid trouble (and if necessary to get you out of it!). These strategies will enable you to change your mindset, and then change your dog’s mindset. If she’s to change, then you have to change too! But nowhere does Beverley tell you it’s your fault, or your dog’s fault. Blaming is totally unproductive. You need to start where you are, with what you’ve got, and move forward from there. “This life-changing book is a MUST READ.” 5* review Beverley takes you by the hand and holds on to it firmly while you move forward in a cheerily positive state of mind! She gives you the missing parts of the puzzle - all force-free and dog-friendly - and you’ll be able to see why harsher methods recommended to you in the past have not worked.

Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Book Description
Are you at the end of your tether with your reactive dog? Barking, lunging, screaming at people and other dogs? Here you can learn proven, positive, and simple science-backed techniques developed by professional dog trainer Beverley Courtney through her years of study and working with thousands of dog-owners like you, both face-to-face and in her popular online coaching programs. Picture the scene: you’re walking along the road with your dog when - horror of horrors! - another person with a dog appears at the end of the street. You start to breathe faster, your heart rate speeds up, you clutch the lead tightly to you, keeping your dog’s head close. Your dog spots the other dog, and lunges forward on the lead, barking ferociously. You gasp out broken commands as you try to keep your feet on the ground. The other person sweeps by, looking down their nose at you. Now shame enters the mix. Your dog has behaved badly, you were quite unable to control him, and now you’re condemned as a useless dog-owner with a nasty dog. This walk has turned into a walk of shame and misery. Your dog is now on his toes, anxiously scanning for the next intruder to bark at. Your hands are sore, your throat is dry. You wish you could disappear into a hole in the ground, wondering where you have gone wrong. Sound familiar? The first thing to realise is that you are not alone! There are lots of people who have dogs whom they love dearly - dogs who are a pleasure and delight about the house: calm, biddable, great with the kids. But as soon as they venture out of the door, the horns and the forked tail grow. 👉 Book 1 in the easy-to-read series Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog shows you exactly what is going on with your dog - why he’s doing what he’s doing - and sets you on the road to make some changes born of understanding that will ultimately transform your walks. It’s important that you have this knowledge before you attempt to make the changes in Books 2 and 3. “If you want to enter a phase of partnership and understanding with your dog then this is a book for you!” 5* review Beverley writes with empathy for anyone whose dog has been labelled anxious, fearful, aggressive, or reactive - and the undercurrent of humour which flows through all her books will keep you smiling as you work through this entirely force-free program.
