Description

Reverend Graeme Sims's fifteen dogs follow his every command as if they can read his mind. But their willingness is down to an enlightened training method using his technique of dog whispering, which is based on the idea of treating the dogs as partners, not as servants, and human and dog learning to understand each other. This detailed, step-by-step instruction book shows you how to communicate properly with your dog, including guidelines on: how to choose the right breed of dog for you (or whether you're the right owner for a dog); how and when to use different commands; how to build a bond of trust; how to overcome problems with specific sections on the problem dog, the rescue dog, the nervous dog and the aggressive dog. THE DOG WHISPERER is a definitive guide to effective dog training for dog-owners and dog-lovers everywhere.

Reviews

'Anyone who works with, lives with, and cares about dogs will enjoy and learn from this book.

It has humility and humour, and a great deal of wisdom.' - 'Works Wonders "Woof" ', Amazon 'I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand their dog or who is a dog lover to start with. The illustrations are delightful. I found this book hard to put down.' - H.M. Brunton, Amazon
