Description



About the Book



Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog, Book 2 goes into what and how you are going to change, why dog-friendly training works best, and what you need. Much of this will involve change for you: exciting!



Book Synopsis



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 start changing 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.

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.

Beverley takes you by the hand and holds on to it 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.



Review Quotes




Your tone is just right for this book - warm, compassionate, not blaming us for past mistakes with our dogs, yet brisk and confident about what you're teaching. At the end of every chapter I feel a surge of energy and get up to pet Chico and tell him he's a good, brave dog. Holly and Chico

I found the book gives clear, user-friendly information. I am enjoying my dogs more and not being so stressed. Pamela

I really appreciated going through your wonderful books - a real revelation! - clear concise and so very instant! Rose is busy making wonderful choices. Bev and Rose

Just wanted to give you a big thank you. After nearly two years of training my leash-reactive dog, Flash, and making some good progress we'd hit a wall. So I purchased your books. It was one of the best decisions I've made. Unlike a lot of other books, the necessary information was there without being too overwhelming. It was written in a way that was easy to follow while being encouraging and achievable. I truly am so very thankful and cannot recommend you and your books enough. Sian

Many, many thanks for all the work you've put into these books, Beverley. I appreciate the spots of humor. Amal and Neith

We have been using your approach to training our growly dog now for about six months and have seen an incredible difference. She no longer lunges and barks as other dogs go by. We love your kind approach to training our dog. I can't thank you enough. Elizabeth and Suki

I started reading your Growly Dog book series and finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Constanze and her two dogs
