About this ebook
Discover simple but effective games you both enjoy, and get just what you want in your family pet.
🐕 Is your dog 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 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 trivia, build up terrific games your dog longs to play with you. Soon your unruly dog will be saying, “Yes? What would you like me to do for you?”
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 her popular online programs shine through.
👉 Book 1 shows you how to find your dog’s off-switch! 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.
Buy this engaging, readable, jargon-free, complete series right now, and turn your dog into your Brilliant Family 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.
