About the Book



Is your dog driving you mad? Learn how to find your dog's off-switch, enjoy a calm visit to a cafe or pub, reach your dog's mind without losing yours, and enjoy your dog again! Get calm in your home and send your contented dog off to sleep.



Book Synopsis



You've got your new dog, you've got the bowl, the collar and the lead. Now what? This puppy doesn't seem to understand anything you say! 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. Through years of experience teaching new owners how to work with their puppies and dogs - entirely without force - Beverley knows just what you're up against.

This first book in the series shows you how to find your dog's off-switch! You'll wonder how anyone manages without this knowledge, and your dog will "get it" very fast.


"I honestly can't believe how easy your book is to follow. My 9-week-old puppy is already lying on his mat as soon as I put it out. This series makes training my pup an absolute pleasure for both of us." Dianne and Ted



Review Quotes




Super book! Written by a lady who really understands the daily problems that dog owners experience. Simple, positive ideas that work. My highly-strung girl lying quietly on her mat as I type! Amazon review

Thank you for your book. I've learned so much from your books. Although I've never punished my dogs, you have shown me another way. I love it when I watch them thinking about how to solve problems. Nora Eaton

Just wanted to say that your books are brilliant - so easy to understand and motivating. I absolutely love your prose. Thank you. Jane Chambers

Thank you so much for writing this series of books. They are wonderful and such a help with our nine-month-old Lakeland Terrier, Rosie. Just wish that we had access to these when we first got her, however we are already making great progress with her thanks to your books. Lesley Williams

This book is excellent and so clearly written my 7 year old is enjoying working through the stages with us. After two short training sessions our 9-week-old pup is already lying on his mat as soon as I put it out. The author is clearly very knowledgable. Dianne Yuill

Your Calm Down Book is a gem. Elizabeth Gaywood

Your books are the first that I've come across that actually break the learning down into progressive steps so I'm confident that we can make huge improvements. Paul Desforges

Thank you so much for writing such accessible, informative, simple and brilliant books. Lisa

Three dog trainers, two behaviour specialist vets, three vets ... and a six-month-old Boston Terrier. Found your book, read it, started training - immediate success. Ute
