Is your dog driving you mad?

Learn how to:

🐕 Find your dog’s off-switch

🐕 Enjoy a calm visit to cafe or pub

🐕 Reach your dog’s mind without losing yours

Instead of saying “This is what you do,” then leaving you to it, Beverley takes you by the hand and troubleshoots all the games so that you can get them absolutely right. And the joy is that this is all achieved without shouting, force, or intimidation. Just pure undiluted fun!

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 online programs shine through. Having taught thousands of new owners how to work with their puppies and dogs - entirely without force - as a professional positive dog trainer Beverley Courtney knows just what you’re up against!

Reviews

“You're like a breath of fresh air! Thank you so much for the books. Really good. Practical training for the real world. Clear instructions what to do and why. And so nice to see a trainer admit one size doesn't fit all, and include some good troubleshooting.” JG



“Thank you so, so much for the Calm Down! book. It's already going brilliantly, it's like you're a dog mind-reader, you really know your stuff!” LN



“Your Calm Down! book saved me. Literally! It's only been a week and she is a different dog, relaxed laying at my feet on her mat. I don't hate her any more and have allowed myself to bond with her, i really did not think this would ever happen as she was making my home life to stressed out. Thank You!”  SR



“Ted and I started his mat training today we have done two very short sessions and he is already getting the idea. He was lying down during the second session. I honestly can't believe how easy your book is to follow.” DY and her 8-week-old puppy



“I just wanted to say a big thank you for your book on calming my dog down by using the relax mat. I have a (very hyper) 10-week old border collie and after only 3 short sessions he's already lying on the mat waiting for treats and stays there. Brilliant! Clever dog! Amazing advice! Thank you.” LM



“Your advice with dog training has been golden, both my girls’ behaviour is becoming something quite special. We are starting to understand each other and I'm beginning to let my dogs teach me. It's been a lovely experience - I'm going to stick with it. Thank you Beverley you are utmost inspirational.” HB

“Daisy and I have been working on the ‘magic mat’ training. She’s getting it quickly. I’m so proud! Thank you again for sharing all your brilliant ideas, wisdom and common sense! I really appreciate it. Daisy does too. It means a lot to both of us. People like you make the world a better place :)” AB
