Synopsis

Brian Plummer is the author of 28 books on different canine breeds In this book, he summarizes for the first time the secrets of his enormously successful methods, and his unique relationship with many different types of dog. He shows how, by simple practical steps combined with the right attitude, any dog owner can produce a docile, biddle pet that is a pleasure to own. The proven success of his methods comes from a deep knowledge of the instincts, temperaments and purpose of different breeds - the result of many years living with working dogs. Other aspects of dog training covered by this indispensible book include: the peculiarities of various breeds, why some are reluctant to return to hand, others are natural stock worriers, how some are so hyperactive that they are impossible to live with; why certain breeds are more feared than others, and the problems associated with owning such breeds; why dogs should be trained, and the problems the owner is likely to experience when he/she fails to train a dog and stock-breaking, how to discourage the chasing of cats and sheep and how to control your dog in the countryside.
