The Pet Gundog

(Please note: The sequence of books is The Pet Gundog Puppy OR The Pet Gundog, followed by The Advanced Pet Gundog.)

Revised and updated, this is the all-encompassing foundation guide for living with and training your gundog.

Written for all of those gundog owners with dogs over five months of age, The Pet Gundog not only introduces you to the psychology of the dog, but offers practical training and behaviour advice on how to achieve harmony in your mixed - species pack, both in the home and whilst out and about.

Focussed on building a relationship with your dog that is based on trust and common sense, The Pet Gundog covers training exercises that enable you to walk out with a dog you can be proud to take anywhere, as well as behaviour changing techniques that help you develop a well-mannered and relaxed dog at home; after all, who wants to live with a bolshie, bad mannered gundog?

A toe-dipping foray into the world of shooting gives you an insight into what your dog has been bred for, and the foundation for all gundog training is covered in detail, as well as…

• Optimum health and wellbeing
• Socialisation for the adult dog
• Age appropriate training
• Foundation training
• Upping the Ante for the novice pet gundog
• Bringing home a part - trained or rescue gundog
• Gundog games
• Training challenges

If you want to take advantage of your gundog’s innate behaviour so that walks become a pleasure, your home stays intact and you have a happy, contented and fulfilled companion, then The Pet Gundog needs to be on your bookshelf.

Every book in The Pet Gundog series comes with 10 free videos to help you get started, as well as a special offer to join Lez Graham’s The Pet Gundog Club.

Author’s note :

If your puppy hasn't reached the adolescent stage, and by that I mean he’s under four and a half months old, then do yourself a favour and go for The Pet Gundog Puppy rather than this book as The Pet Gundog has been written with dogs over 5 months in mind.
