Synopsis
Have you ever wished you could get the dog in your life to behave better?
Enter Graeme Hall: The Dogfather.
Having
worked with more than 5,000 dogs, of all shapes and sizes, Graeme has
seen pretty much every behavioural issue going. And - whether it's
house-destruction, fear and anxiety, or aggression - he's helped to fix
it.
From the Great Dane scared of a chihuahua and the Labrador
that barked whenever his owners tried to eat, to the schoolboy error
that landed him in hospital, in All Dogs Great and Small, Graeme
shares some of his hard-won, often hilarious, success stories (as well
as the odd disaster). Backed up by scientific research, he also reveals
his simple, practical and effective golden rules for dog training, which
will enable you to understand your dog, help you drive better
behaviours and give you the tools to bring much-needed harmony to your
home.
My Review
This isn't my normal type of read, but I enjoy watching 'Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly) on TV and my dad bought this book and offered me the chance to read it. I don't have a dog myself but often go over and walk my parents dog so I thought, 'why not?' and gave this a go.
It tells stories from Graeme's career and some of the encounters he has had with dogs and their owners, but also offers some advice and wisdom on how to get the best behaviour and response from your dog. It's easy to read and flows really well, it reads like Graeme is talking to you, which I really liked.
There is a certain sarcastic humour to parts of it, and of course things that should be common sense, but I really enjoyed reading his take on training and situations and would definitely apply some of them to my own dog when I get one in the future.
A very interesting book with some helpful tips and tricks and some heartwarming stories too. A must for any fans of the show, or any dog owners.
