Dog Booklets
These booklets have all been written after thirty years of teaching first time owners:
A Puppy in the Home
£3.00 (ISBN 0-9513357-2-3)
Dogs don't think the way we do. This is how your puppy thinks. It may surprise
you.
I'm Nobody's Dog. Can I be Your Dog? (Coping with rescued dogs)
£3.50 (ISBN 0-9513357-3-1)
Rescued dogs have their won needs and often come with their own baggage trailing
behind them. There are ways of making it far easier for your waif to fit into
his new surroundings. Everything is strange and people may have hurt him.
He needs understanding and TLC.
Have Fun With Your Dog (Training without tears)
£3.50 (ISBN 0-9513357-4X)
Training should be fun, not a chore to be got through somehow. Your dog will
learn far more easily if you make it fun for you both.
So You Want Your Bitch To Have Puppies
£2.50 (ISBN 0-9513357-5-8)
Few realise how much work is involved. The bitch only feeds them full time
for three weeks. For the next five weeks they have to be given daily food,
cleaned up every hour or so as nine pups make an awful mess and can't be left
in it. They need to meet people and see the world safely or they will grow
into dogs that are afraid of a butterfly and don't like people or other dogs.
If you don't want to unleash a number of antisocial and nasty dogs on people,
then read this. That first few weeks is the most important part of pup's life
and will shape the adult.
A Dog's Guide to Buying Humans
£4.00 (ISBN 0-9513357-1-5)
(Cartoons - useful for children and for Xmas presents)
The cartoons are very funny. This is an adult dog's advice to puppy friend
on the way to live with those very unpredictable creatures that think they
buy dogs and are unaware that dogs buy them.
Who's The Boss Then? (How to live in harmony with your dog)
£2.50 (ISBN 0-9513357-6-6)
It is easy when you know how. Just a few subtle cues can change the whole
way you and your dog react together, and show him in the nicest possible way
that he doesn't call the tune.
Puppy Rearing to Avoid Aggression (And how to cope if unlucky)
£3.50 (ISBN 0-9513357-7-4)
The pup from his first day with you needs to go out and about even if only
in the car; to see the world, see other dogs and people and to meet lots of
people, or he will be afraid of everything. This is how to reverse that if
you are unlucky. Dogs that go nowhere and see nobody can turn out very unpleasant
companions, ready to attack anything they fear. It can’t just be left
to chance. It doesn't work that way.
How to Own a Sensible Dog
£6.95 (ISBN 0-95-13357-0-7)
Answering all the questions people ask that one never finds answers to in
any book read. Also very useful to give those thinking of buying a dog before
they plunge so that they can see what is involved. It has now sold 10,000
copies and Wafcol dogfood bought 1000 last year.
A Dog Beside You (Dog poems)
£4.00
A book of poems about dogs, previously printed in
various dog magazines including Dog Training Weekly. Another useful present
for dog owning friends.
