Calm walks with your Growly Dog: Strategies and techniques for your fearful, aggressive, or reactive dog (Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog, Book 3)
Struggling with your reactive, aggressive dog?
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.
