The Reluctant Dog Trainer

by philip McCarlie-Davis

Overview

"I did not set out to have a career working with dogs, nor did I aspire to working with animals of any sort.  I left school fully intending to enjoy a life as a beach bum, painting and being "creative", however, living on the west coast of Wales I quickly discovered that to be a successful beach bum required a large budget for waterproofs and fleecy jackets.  it was clear that I was going to have find something else to do with my life.  It was at that point I attempted to join the rest of the world and learn things, to become a productive member of society, and so I went dutifully to art college, only to find that this was not going to be the path to enlightenment I was seeking.  Six months of painting random still lives and the odd bit of finger painting and it was clear another path would be required. "

 

The Reluctant Dog Trainer is a simple guide to the world of dog training and dog ownership.  Covering aspects from how dogs learn, through to the trials and tribulations of walking a dog in the modern world, it is less a 'How to' book, and more a guide to the diffrenet areas involved in living with a happy, healthy dog.

Written by a trainer of 25 years, examples of dogs he has lived with, help to illustrate how it is not always straight forward living with our canine companions.

About the Author

I have been working in the field of Animal welfare and training for the past 25 years and have worked with a wide range of species, from primates to wolves, However, my main area of interest is with dogs.

I have worked with dogs in various settings from training assistance dogs, through years spent working in rescue, ending up working with companion dogs in the home environment.  Each dog is unique, and each dog teaches me more every time.
