Change for your Growly Dog! Action steps to build confidence in your fearful, aggressive, or reactive dog (Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog, Book 2)
Is walking your dog the ultimate nightmare? As she screams, barks, and lunges at other dogs and people?
Stop the cycle now, with professional force-free dog trainer Beverley Courtney’s life-changing series of books for Growly Dogs.
You know your dog has a lovely personality. She’s smashing at home - loves playing with the children, does what you ask, settles quietly when you’re busy. But outside ... or perhaps when visitors come ... you have a different dog. The ruckus she makes when confronted with a strange person, a strange dog, even a strange bag, is upsetting for you and frightening for everyone else. She ducks and dives, lunges and surges, barks, snarls, and growls: who wouldn’t be alarmed?
👉 In Book 1 you saw what is happening, why it’s happening, why it’s getting worse, and what you can change to begin the transformation you’re looking for - so people can stop seeing your dog as reactive, anxious, fearful, aggressive, and admire the friendly dog you know and love!
👉 Now Book 2 goes into far greater detail to give you strategies and techniques to avoid trouble (and if necessary to get you out of it!). These strategies will enable you to change your mindset, and then change your dog’s mindset. If she’s to change, then you have to change too!
But nowhere does Beverley tell you it’s your fault, or your dog’s fault. Blaming is totally unproductive. You need to start where you are, with what you’ve got, and move forward from there.
“This life-changing book is a MUST READ.” 5* review
Beverley takes you by the hand and holds on to it firmly while you move forward in a cheerily positive state of mind! She gives you the missing parts of the puzzle - all force-free and dog-friendly - and you’ll be able to see why harsher methods recommended to you in the past have not worked.
