Two dogs, two journeys, one heartbreaking reality. Allen and Nella are beloved puppies, misunderstood by their owners and society. Their struggle with behavioural problems leads to a quest for help, but the paths they take could not be more different. Allen is trained with force, providing quick results, but will he find happiness? Nella's problems are managed with empathy, but will a soft-handed approach work? Join the dogs on their journey and see the devastating impact of ignorance about dog behaviour, and the power of compassion.
As a veterinarian with a PhD in dog anxiety, Dr Dennis Wormald brings a wealth of knowledge to this remarkable story, which is inspired by his clinical work in dog behaviour medicine. Each chapter ends with an eye-opening non-fiction essay, giving scientific insight into why our furry friends misbehave (and how to help them).
Get ready to embark on an emotional rollercoaster that will challenge your understanding of what it means to be a responsible guardian.
In this book, you will learn to truly understand how a dog with behavioural issues feels, and how the issues develop. The range of common behaviour conditions covered includes:
You can't effectively treat a dog with behaviour problems unless you truly understand why the problems are occurring. Through a combination of story and theory, this enjoyable read will give a unique insight into what is actually motivating the difficult behaviours that dogs can display. Designed specifically to help bring about a change in society, this book is unlike any other information on dog behaviour you will find. Part fiction, part non-fiction behaviour theory, this book dances between entertainment and education to produce an enjoyable and enlightening read.
