Calm Down! Leave It! Let's Go! and Here Boy!
Is your dog driving you up the wall?
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.

Reviews
“Wow! I am only part way through the first book but it is great. So easy to understand. So well explained.” SP
“What I love is Beverley’s approach to dogs and her method of giving them space to make the choice themselves, weighted by you of course so they are more likely to choose what you want too, but still they are free not to and then not get the treat, toy or attention. Never again do I have to issue commands that just get ignored! In Beverley’s wise words, dogs are doers, they don’t understand how NOT to do something, hence why ‘no’ never really works. As with most modern dog training this really is about training yourself first!” CB
“Read them all! Brilliantly written with a compassionate and understanding voice.” SM
“Your books have been a revelation and we wished we had purchased them sooner. I love your concept of force-free training, and allowing Skye the choice to make a good decisions.” BW
“I have been working with your wonderful force-free books. And I would like to thank you. We have had so much to work with and I have seen many positive and fantastic results. You are an amazing trainer and you have written the books perfectly.” KD
“Thank you so much for your books, they have been so helpful and easy to understand. You really are excellent at explaining things!“ SD
“The best thing about ALL of Beverley Courtney’s books, is that you can UNDERSTAND them, and, most of all, they MAKE SENSE!! In sheer desperation I have read many dog training books written by other trainers, and I just could not get the point - far too complex for myself and the average dog-owner. I have all of Beverley’s books and frequently read them over and over again, and will continue to do so forever, a great reference library.” CR
“Thank you so much for your books, I think they’re fabulous - best dog training books ever! The language and tone you use make these such an enjoyable read, your love of dogs and your humour shine through.” JF
