Does your dog steal anything that's not nailed down? Learn how you can • leave food on the table • forget shoes and toys on the floor • know your rubbish is safe in the bin - without having to mount an armed guard to protect it all from your family dog! This book will take you step-by-step through some simple and surprising games which will turn your thieving rascal into a saintly pooch who can be trusted with cakes on the coffee table, dinner on the counter, biscuits in the children's hands, and who will confine his chewing to the things you give him to chew. Instead of saying "This is what you do," then leaving you to it, professional positive dog trainer Beverley Courtney takes you by the hand and troubleshoots all the games so that you can get them absolutely right for you and your individual dog. 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 science-backed solution pops up. Beverley's years of experience - in face-to-face classes as well as her popular online programs - shine through. Having taught thousands of new owners how to work with their puppies and dogs - entirely without force - Beverley knows just what you're up against!
