Dog training books

Exciting changes at Brilliant Family Dog!

By now you’ll have seen my emails about the terrific changes happening here at Brilliant Family Dog - all designed to get you the help you need with your dog - at new, unimaginably low, prices.

This is where you can check out the new learning platform: my.brilliantfamilydog.com

If you’re an existing student in any of my courses - don’t worry! You will be receiving new login details any moment now to ensure you can continue your learning without interruption (or further payment!).

A simple question: WHY?

And you’ll be glad to know there’s a simple answer!

I have spent much of my life helping people with their dogs, using only force-free methods. 

And while I have competed with my dogs at a high level, I focus on everyday life with your family dog. (And even international competition dogs are pet dogs for 20+ hours a day, too!)

I want you to enjoy your best lives together, and be rid of those tiresome niggles that annoy both of you.

So with this focus, I created a number of free courses, nine books, seven audiobooks, and two signature programs - 

The Brilliant Family Dog Academy - Teach yor dog to listen!

From Growly Dog to Confident Dog - help for shy, anxious, reactive, “aggressive” dogs

I KNOW these programs work!

How do I know? Because I am forever getting emails and comments on how much they’ve helped, like these:

“The lessons have made a huge improvement in all of our lives.” BO

“Lois has done really well in the Brilliant Family Dog Academy, and is now the ‘Loose Lead Walking Champion’ of our local neighbourhood lol, recall improved dramatically too.” CR

“You are a gift to us and our dogs - pure and simple. Very grateful!” PT

“Thank you for caring, it is so genuine.” NMG

“Absolutely brilliant! I love your gentle, respectful way. I see a difference in my ‘rescue’ which warms my heart.” CS


So, now that I have passed rather too many milestones ;-) I want to ensure that with the least fuss and bother, everyone can access all that I teach, with as little barrier as possible.

Hence the prices are silly.

They’re just enough to keep the site running.  

You could call this a charitable gesture, if you like … but really, I just want to ensure that this valuable learning stays available for everyone who would benefit from it.

The result? 

Lots more of this, for me and for you! See Woodland Walk image

What can you do now? 

What I’d like you to do is head over to my.brilliantfamilydog.com and have a good look around! 

You’ll find a fresh, clean, easy-to-navigate, site, with an astounding Search feature which will search my entire output.

You’ll be able to join a community of like-minded people, upload videos of your own work, get professional trainer feedback, and support from your fellow students ..

And I’d love it if you could comment below on what you found!

Don’t want a course, thank you, but just want to show support? There’s a place for you too, as a Silent Member!

Dog training books for you at special prices!

I’m delighted to be able to announce a new improvement here at Brilliant Family Dog!

My immensely popular dog training books are now available for you to purchase as ebooks direct from me.

This cuts out the middle man, and enables me to share the savings and give you a special price! It also ensures you get your book immediately, direct to the e-reader or reading app of your choice, e.g. Nook, Kobo, Kindle, etc.

In fact, you don’t need a physical e-reader at all, as we give you a free app for your phone or desktop where you can read the books.

How easy is that?!

BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS!

The books are, of course, entirely force-free, and aim to build a stellar relationship between you and your Brilliant Family Dog. They’re easy to follow, with plenty of troubleshooting and case studies.

Here’s where you go to find which book will be best for you:

And here’s what a couple of readers told me just recently:

“I have all your books and I am loving working my way with Tally steadily through them. So far Calm Down! and Let’s Go! Both are transformative. I recommend you wherever I go especially on the group dog walk I do on a Saturday.” AK

“Your books are just brilliant! I’ve read every one cover to cover and it’s a revelation. Honestly I’ve spent 40 years doing what I thought was right - I hope thanks to you I’m getting it more right than I used to!” JP 

For now, you can purchase ebooks or audiobooks directly from me - it won’t be long before you can buy paperbacks too! Exciting times … watch this space!

Here is a chart from Amazon showing six of my books in the top 35 dog training books chart!

“Thank you. Your first book is brilliant, it has taught ME so much.” RN

“Excellent book! Not only for newcomers. 5* ”

“I have a whole library of doggy books and I found yours concise, easy to read, and full of very useful tips.” JC

“Brilliantly written with a compassionate and understanding voice.” SM

“Clear, simple and easy to follow and remember. I've read similar books, but almost all are much more wordy and hard to remember.” CM

Learn while you get on with your life! ++ special offer ++


One of the truly life-changing introductions of the last few years is having a whole book in a tiny gadget and having it read to you!

What luxury!

What a great way to make boring tasks go faster.

And what a GREAT way to learn!

You can listen repeatedly. You can rewind. You can speed the narration up (but do avoid making it sound like The Chipmunks!), or you can slow it down to catch the details.

You can really squeeze every last drop out of your book.

So that makes it a really effective way of training your dog!

Using a device where you can easily pause, rewind, and continue, means you can go through a lesson step-by-step, working absolutely at your own and your dog’s pace.

This is essential to ensure you don’t race over the important steps and wonder why it’s not working (heheh!).

And that’s why I had my Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog, Books 1-4, professionally produced, and why I made them available as widely as possible.

The huge advantage to you of buying direct from the author is that you can get these books anywhere in the world - wherever you live! . . . you get a special app to listen in. (I know many of you can’t access Audible and other such stores.)

This is what some reviewers are saying about the audiobooks:

 

Excellent straightforward advice ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Beverley uses very simple games and techniques to help build a strong bond with your dog and bring calm and help with basic training. Highly recommended!”

Perfect tips for a brilliant family dog ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Fantastically narrated, providing tips and easy to follow examples for a brilliant family dog, whether have had dogs before or not.
Well written, easy to follow and ideal for anyone with a dog.”

Great book ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Great book, clear instructions and pleasant to listen too. Love it - highly recommended. Very helpful.”

 

Perfect! ... And Excellent, Clear Narrator! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I loved this book! I was afraid when I ordered it that it would be a balanced trainer and was thrilled that the author promoted force free techniques. I too use a Freedom Harness, a Perfect Fit, or Balance Harness, so I loved the mention of the Freedom. Although I'm a professional trainer, I always like to improve my skills and learn ways of teaching behaviors that may differ from my own. I'm very excited that this book may teach other guardians a fool-proof method of teaching recall. I was particularly interested in Premack, as my terrier is ALL about prey.



Thank you for a wonderful, simple, effective and concise book that I can recommend to my clients; a great reminder to practice recall more often than I do.”
