Product Description

How to overcome your dog's problem behaviour: an essential guide for all dog owners. Have you ever asked: Why does my dog...bark when he is left alone? ...jump up at visitors? ....refuse to come when i call him? ....pull on the lead? ...urinate when i greet him? ...growl when i try to take a toy from him?. This practical, authoritative book, written by a leading dog behaviour expert with long experience of helping owners of problem dogs, gives you the answers and explains how to change your dog's behaviour without resorting to punishment. What does your dog eat? Where does he sleep? How much exercise and socialising does he get? How has he been trained? All these can lead to problems if you do not bear in mind how a dog's mind works. Above all, you need to understand the instincts he has inherited from his wolf ancestors, which make him respond in ways that are quite normal but may cause problems for you. John Fisher provides fascinating insights into the roots of dog behaviour and takes you through an A-Z of specific problems with solutions that any dog owner can use successfully. Written with the needs of both dog and owner in mind, this helpful and enlightening book will ensure that your dog becomes a happy and acceptable member of the household.

About the Author

John Fisher worked professionally with dogs for over twenty years, as a police dog handler and trainer. He was a founder member of the Association of Pet behaviour Counsellors and was a regular writer for 'What Dog?' and 'Pet Dogs'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching, truthful and fun, 29 April 2002

By A Customer

When reading this book you could be reading about your own dog, your friend's dog, your parent's old dog, or that dog up the road that really barks when you walk by. Fisher has caught them all to a tee. My only criticism was that it was maybe not practical enough, but it was certainly enlightening and educational. Both my colleague & I said after reading it, we now know why we have being doing it all wrong for all these years!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for all dog owners, 22 Jul 2001

By A Customer

Read this book and you will understand and love your dog even more. I have bought so many copies and loaned them to other doggie people never to see the book again, so be warned, if you buy it, DON'T lend it, just recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars But I have one serious reservation, 29 Jun 2001

By A Customer

John Fisher's book was written with a purpose: to make human beings more compassionate and understanding towards dogs. It succeeds in this brilliantly, except for one sentence, where he says that some of his clients get upset when he tells them that their dogs don't love them. Whether or not John is correct in his assertion - and many, even-non-sentimental, dog-owners would disagree with him - this is not helpful at all. Even in the mind of the most besotted dog-owner on the planet [me] this idea worked briefly as a mental irritant, making me subtly resentful of my dog for a few weeks after I had read it. Goodness knows, resentment of dogs is the last thing the author wished to encourage.

I wrote to the publishers with this comment a year ago, and got a very kind reply from John Fisher's widow, after which I felt it was only respectful to drop the subject. However - I can't. It's been bugging me ever since. I really do believe, for the sake of John's legacy to dogs and dog-lovers, that the publishers should remove this short section of an otherwise wonderful book.
