Does your dog like chasing toys … but expect you to go out and fetch them?
Or does she remove your fingers when you offer her a toy?
Perhaps she just thinks toys are to be taken to her bed and buried …
Not any more!
The latest in the popular series of how-to books from Brilliant Family Dog (currently with 3,000 reviews at Amazon) has arrived!

takes you step-by-step from a reluctant retriever to a fetching fanatic! It’s suitable for people who want to play with their dog in the garden and on walks, folk who compete with their dog, and those who just want their dog to clear up her own toys, fetch your shoes, and find your car keys!

Can you imagine how your dog’s stock will go up with your family and friends, once he becomes a genuinely useful member of the family (apart from being cuddly and adorable, of course, which is his default setting)?

“I just have to let you know how thrilled I am. Dodger and I have been playing in the garden and I’ve been throwing his ball. He’s been running after it and then bringing it back. So I’m really chuffed!”
Avril and Dodger, her previously non-retrieving Staffie
5* Amazon review
My dog is lovely but quite excitable, which made some things really tricky ... The advice in Beverley's books is clear and simple to follow, and best of all it teaches your dog to think for itself and make good choices without any commands. Seriously, if you want a nicer, better-behaved and calmer dog, read these books and follow her steps.
