All Dogs Great and Small: What I’ve learned training dogs

Product Information

Leaving (to make his fortune), he followed his passion for dogs and set up Dogfather Training in 2008. He set off one sunny day in 1987 with his worldly possessions zipped into an old MG Midget to make his fortune Down South. Through the stories of some of special dogs he's loved or helped, he will give you the tools to understand and help your beloved pooch, and bring much-needed harmony to your home. I love working with puppies because there is so much potential to make a lasting difference to a dog's life and to their owner's. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you.

Nice to see some of the examples that I saw on TV in this book; shame about Axel and Gordon the rotties! Graeme has this British sense of humour that I quite like and the audiobook version of this book is even better as his way of telling the stories and jokes is even better. Graeme is a straight talking Yorkshireman with an amazing sense of humour, two things which are essential when dealing with our furry friends (and their owners! He's worked from the Scottish Highlands to the Channel Islands (and pretty-much everywhere in between).Is the tongue visible, are they smiling, what direction are their ears pointing, can you see the white of their eyes and also what direction is their tail wagging? There are also impracticalities to the reward system too such as always having to have a reward for the dog so relying on their reward ADDICTION is a much better long term option as dogs can potentially unlearn something. If you have a furry friend in your life, we would highly recommend this book by Graeme Hall, the lessons you learn can be invaluable. Princess Anne beams as she officially opens equestrian college (and she can't resist making a fuss of the horses! They process that information faster than we do by reading our forehead wrinkles, nose flaring and ears.

Fortunately not, Graeme tells how he trained his rescue aged 3 from scratch and old dogs can learn new tricks. Thoroughly enjoyed reading and I would recommend to any dog lover who is interested in learning about dog training as this book is a great starting. Hopefully in the next few years I’ll get a German Shepherd or Cavalier King Charles; not only is this book funny and engaging it, was really informative on dog psychology and behaviour as well as that of humans. So refreshing to read a book that mixes up understanding dog behaviour, memoir, practical tips on dog training, humour and anecdotal stories. It is difficult and possible but again, must be consistent in regards who says what in the specific language and must not have any overlap.Graeme is careful to not constantly compare humans to dogs as there are parallels that humans should be understanding of but also should approach differently as they are not the same species and function differently too. And although training classes have been suspended, those looking for support in raising a happy and well-behaved pet could do far worse than read the new book by Graeme Hall, jovial star of Channel 5's Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly. Inside the Giggs family feud: Ryan tore his bloodline apart with his affair with brother Rhodri's wife. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. While I agree that these aren't the optimum conditions under which to raise a puppy, I've also seen how much emotional and physical support dogs have provided to people unsettled by the pandemic.

The Dogfather approach combines knowledge and understanding with a practical ability to get the results you want for your dog. I had no affinity with dogs until our daughter bought a black labrador puppy Floki who is now a bit more than a year. If you can get it right (or right-ish), you are paving the way for a lifetime of reliably good behaviour. A lot of this book is about understanding and reading your dog to understand how to train them and what they might be thinking which I think is probably more helpful than “do this” and “do that” although on the face of it you might think it’s not telling you a lot.Consequences don't really exist for dogs and ignoring is not advisable because the owner often don't understand the dynamics and consequences of ignoring them for that specific amount of time. My heart sank when Graeme impressed on the reader how important it is to do most of the work when your dog is young - we'd tried that, failed and since then I'm more or less terrified to start again, although puppy steps have been made in 2021.

I love 'Dogs behaving (very) badly' and although I don't own a dog I've always wanted to learn more about them and ideally get a few tips and tricks on how to treat them and understand them.

Sharing his own personal stories and practical tips, Graeme demonstrates how to interpret your dog's body language and use that knowledge to build a stronger, more rewarding relationship, as well as how to avoid common mistakes. This book is full of little nuggets of wisdom and interesting facts useful to the less experienced dog owner and entertaining to boot. Our products are built to last and as dog lovers ourselves we only use the best products and therefore we only sell the best products. Make no mistake, Graeme doesn't pretend things are easy or that dogs will always respond the way that you want them to.
