Give a Dog a Home: How to Make Your Rescue Dog a Happy Dog

Description

Graeme Sims discloses his gentle techniques for making any dog confident, happy and well behaved. Graeme Sims the man who 'speaks dog' is hailed as one of the world's most respected dog trainers. His approach depends on his matchless ability to get into the mind of the dog to be truly a 'dog whisperer'. He explains how our misinterpretation of dogs' reactions can cause them unhappiness and contribute to behavioural problems. In a series of case studies, he shows how, with understanding and patience, we can reach the nervous, the difficult or the disturbed rescue dog, and help them finally to feel that they have a real home. His book gives you a chance to look at life from the dog's point of view and to understand thoroughly what you see; it is for anyone who wants to earn the right to be their dog's best friend.

World renowned dog trainer Graeme Sims has spent many years working with dogs and honing his revolutionary techniques. Previously he worked as a demonstrator of dog skills for two theme parks in the West Country as well as running one of the biggest training and breeding centres in Devon. He now lives in South Wales with his numerous dogs, devoting his time to understanding what motivates them.
