About the Book
Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog, Book 3. Now you can enjoy a new way of walking and interacting with your dog, so the scenes you've endured before now mercifully a thing of the past!
Book Synopsis
- In Book 1 you learned WHY your dog is doing what she does.
- Book 2 showed you WHAT you can do to start to make big changes.
- Now in Book 3 you're going to see HOW to put those changes into action.
No longer are you the owner of "that nasty dog" who is the curse of the neighbourhood. No longer do you have to walk at the Hour of the Difficult Dog in order to avoid every living creature on the planet. You can start to lose those labels of "reactive", "fearful", "anxious", "aggressive" - even "boisterous and over-friendly".
Beverley will give you specific techniques to deal with your dog's reactivity - on the ground. Through her unique brand of empathy laced with humour, you will change your walks to pleasant outings, your time on the road will be less stressful for both of you - you'll know just how to keep your dog calm and happy. And when he's calm and happy, you're calm and happy!
Along with the skills you've already learnt, the extensive Troubleshooting sections will show you exactly what to do in any given situation, because you'll know why it's happening, what you'd like to happen - and how to achieve that.
"I have had a brilliant walk with him today and he was really good with cars, people and other dogs with limited reactions. He seems to enjoy meeting other people and dogs now." Joan and Shep, Border Collie

Review Quotes
The books read easily and, like the exercises, are clear and easy to follow. The end of chapter summations make it easy to go back and check up without having to re-read the whole chapter. Lesley-Jane
So much you have written has been an inspiration for me, and Archie and I are now working together as a team. ...Your books have been so much help to me and I know I am probably writing for many of your other readers, when I say that you appear to have written them especially for Archie and me. Phyllis and Archie Greyhound
Thanks again, finding your website and books has been a revelation. Annemieke and 2 Wheaten Terriers
Because of your friendly approachable out-reach and your wonderful education/information/skill building, I am no longer stuck in isolation and bewilderment. I have hope and I feel greatly encouraged. Leola and Bella Jelly Bean
I just want to say thank you for your books they have been a life saver. Dawn and her German Shepherd Dog
Thanks so much for the fabulous books - they really gave me hope that we would find the sweet boy buried deep, deep down in our very reactive rescue Sprocker Ted. Claire
Reg has come on in leaps. He's calm and thinks before he acts now. Thank you so much for changing our lives. Heather and Reg
I have all Beverley's books and have read them repeatedly, applying all I learn. After following Beverley's advice I can happily report that we now enjoy mostly calm walks. Her tone of writing, her humour, and rigorously non-violent approach to dog training made me trust her approach - and it really works! Amazon review
