The Practical Dog Listener: The 30-day Path to a Lifelong Understanding of Your Dog

In "The Dog Listener", Jan Fennell changed the way we think about our best friends. Now, in this indispensable companion volume, she deals with the day-to-day practicalities of putting those principles to work. In "The Practical Dog Listener", Jan Fennell distils her ideas into a simple 30-day guide that will enable everyone to use her remarkable methods in a practical context. She covers every element of pet ownership - from introducing a dog to its new home and handling it in public, to dealing with behavioural problems. With detailed sections on everything from exercise to diet, there are problem-solving guides dealing with worries such as biting or anxiety. Once again Jan illustrates her points with entertaining and inspiring real-life cases from her own work with damaged and delinquent dogs. She even tells the saga of the Devil Dog - a tale to reassure even the most desperate owner that perseverance really does pay off! The book contains easy-to-follow line drawings, which accompany the text, along with two picture sections.
