Let's Go!: Enjoy Companionable Walks with your Brilliant Family Dog (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916437623)

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 third book in the series Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog brings you the Holy Grail of dog ownership - walking nicely on the lead. Without having to resort to drill hall tactics, and without pulling and heaving your dog around - in just a couple of minutes a day you'll get the calm and enjoyable walks you envisaged when your pup first arrived.
