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

Product Information

Unlike my walking friend, I don't believe things have to end badly for the pandemic pet owners — even though a few of them do need to invest in some better footwear, take off the headphones and stop dropping their crisp packets. The ones who should benefit the most in the end are the dogs of course, and we never lose sight of that – But if we can have a bit of fun too along the way, well that’s fine by us! The Sunday Times bestseller Have you ever wished you could get the dog in your life to behave better? Dogs want our attention — if they're more likely to win that by barking or jumping than by trotting quietly at heel, then that's what they will do. In regards to the unlearning, Graeme talks about Generalization which talks about learning and doing a skill and one place and eventually being able to transfer that skill somewhere else in another situation.

I hope the owners of lockdown dogs hear Hall's message, hang on in there and keep the treats and cuddles coming. His voice comes over strongly and he actually explains the psychology behind his training methods which I find is rare in this type of book. Highly recommended we're busy tweaking our behaviour, yes Graeme is the Dogfather because he understands people as well as dogs!A big point that might seem obvious but seems to often be done wrong anyway is that since dogs don't use words, they also don't understand words or sentences either.

I have an extremely anxious rescue Dachshund with many issues and am always looking out for helpful dog training tips. I sadly lost my last dog a number of months ago and am about to pick up a new puppy soon and I would highly recommend this book for anyone getting a puppy or new dog soon. 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?

Later in the book Graeme talks about about dogs "understanding" or responding to different languages. I got this book and a few others after deciding we would get another dog, we sadly lost our dog Molly nearly 2 years ago, she was 15 years old,and we were absolutely heartbroken, our home hasn't been the same since and missed not having her around. Make no mistake, Graeme doesn't pretend things are easy or that dogs will always respond the way that you want them to. I’ve been a big fan of Graeme Hall’s television programme Dog’s Behaving (Very) Badly right from the start. Graeme Hall 'The Dogfather' has been described by the Telegraph as 'Britain's best dog trainer', Graeme criss-crosses the country helping dog and puppy owners with behaviour problems.
