Everything you need to train your puppy, adult and even your geriatric dog – with the right approach, it's never too early or too late to achieve positive results in both dog training and behaviour modification!
This publication is much more than a dog training manual; it also covers aspects of canine psychology, exploring dog social behaviour and delves into the inner workings of the dog's mind, to give you a real understanding of how dogs think and learn, that reveals why positive reinforcement training gains the best and most reliable results. It encourages you to consider your dog's natural behaviour, and to channel their instincts into positive activities, revealing why stimulating your dog's mind has many behavioural, psychological and physical benefits, that could possibly contribute to a longer life.
You will find detailed step by step instructions on how to teach all the basic commands, including toileting on command for house training, using various different positive training techniques - so you can choose the method that best suits you and your dog.
Includes a detailed puppy socialisation program, sports and activities to explore and games to play with your dog, that will not only build confidence, but will strengthen the bond between you, laying the foundation for a strong and rewarding relationship, and giving your dog a happy fulfilled life.
Some common behaviour problems are covered in detail, explaining the causes and importantly how to prevent them, but also offering solutions if your are experiencing them with your dog. This book also includes a general problem solving guide, with a checklist to help you diagnose the root cause of problems and suggests what action may be needed in order to resolve them.
The Perfect Companion, Understanding, Training and Bonding with your Dog! Written by professional dog trainer and canine behaviourist Karen Davison, this book is essential reading for all puppy and dog owners - a must have resource of valuable information for all dog lovers, that encourages us and our companions to live our best lives!

About the Author
Karen Davison grew up in Bedfordshire, England. She has been both an avid reader and a lover of animals since early childhood. When she was eight, the family got their first dog, Scamp, whose great character started Karen's lifelong devotion to dogs.
Since qualifying in Canine Psychology in 2001, she has worked as a professional dog trainer and canine behaviourist. She went on to study Wolf Ecology in 2009 and was lucky enough to spend time with the wolves at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust in Reading.
Her first publication, The Perfect Companion: Understanding, Training and Bonding with your Dog, a comprehensive guide to canine psychology, training and problem solving, was published in June 2012 and won an IndiePENdants' award for quality. Since then she has published The Complete Guide to House Training Puppies and Dogs, Companion Huskies: Understanding, Training and Bonding with your Dog, and three Fun Reads for Dog Lovers: A Dog's Guide to Humans, A Dog's Guide to Cats and It Shouldn't Happen to a Dog Trainer.
After joining a local writers group, she has spread her author wings and is now enjoying writing poetry, flash fiction and short stories, and after taking a course in screenwriting has just completed her first radio drama script. Karen is also working on her first fiction novel, which combines her love of writing, wolves and fantasy - Wolf Clan Rising which is due to be published 2017.
Karen is now living the dream, she resides in a country cottage on the west coast of Ireland, drawing inspiration for her writing from the peace and beauty of her surroundings where she shares her life with her husband, two daughters and nine special needs pets. Her seven rescue dogs and two rescue cats have a mixture of emotional, behavioural and physical disabilities.
One of Karen's favourite sayings: 'Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.'
