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
About this ebook
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 finally 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 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.
