"Excellent - great advice, very clear"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Really helpful, some things I was aware were good practice, some “common sense” but explaining why, and others new ideas. Can't wait to put this to use! Service and delivery from Mighty Ape speedy as usual.

"Should be given to every dog owner"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This book should be handed out to every dog owner – it has info on each life stage, what they should be learning, what they're going through, and how to deal with troublesome behaviours (like biting, destroying, barking etc.). It also goes over dog behaviour and why they behave the way they do. I've bought several as gifts and everyone has so appreciated the info in it!

Description

World-renowned dog behaviourist and psychologist Mark Vette (of Driving Dogs and Flying Dogs fame) shows you how to transform your dog and create a harmonious life-long bond. World-renowned dog behaviourist and psychologist Mark Vette (of Driving Dogs and Flying Dogs fame) shows you how to transform your dog and create a harmonious life-long bond. This book looks at how the dog evolved from the wolf, and the ancient co-evolved bond that exists between humans and dogs, before explaining how to get your dog into a fundamental calm 'learning state' so you can encourage the behaviours you want from your pet. Mark then explains how to train your new puppy, and if you have an older dog that wasn't trained properly at that crucial early stage, how to correct each of the top ten behavioural problems that occur. Drawing from Mark's own life and experiences there are case studies throughout with beautiful photographs of these amazing animals. The top ten problems are- 1. Hyperactivity 2. Phobias 3. Excessive submission 4. Dog-to-dog aggression 5. Dog-to-human aggression 6. Barking 7. Separation distress 8. House training 9. Destructive behaviours 10.Recall This book is absolutely packed with information. It is a comprehensive practical guide combining the latest cognitive science with modern, loving, training techniques.
