Most dog training books are packed with information but in reality, it's often far too much, far too detailed and pretty overwhelming. The average dog owner doesn't want to be a dog trainer; they just want to have a dog that doesn't behave like a complete idiot every time they leave the house. This book provides you with a simple and achievable blue-print for easier walks with your dog. It's a quick and easy read that's straight to the point so you can be on your way to a better-behaved dog without weeks of reading and note-taking. Highly recommended, especially for owners with high-energy breedsLiz Whelen - Dogcentric Training AdventuresDom Hodgson has done it again! In his latest dog training book, Worry Free Walks, Dom sets out to teach you how to have problem free walks with your dog using his own no-BS approach to dog training. From looking at how to walk your dog safely and under your control at all times, Dom highlights the importance of using appropriate gear, how to find the one thing that will turn you into the centre of your dog's world and how to keep your dog engaged with you through playing some simple but effective games. His easy and often humorous style of writing is straightforward and there is a refreshing lack of technical jargon. Perfect for the average dog owner who is looking for advice on how to turn their nightmare walks into the joyous occasions they dreamed of when they first got their dog, without wanting to get too deep into the theory of why dogs do what they do. This book is one I will recommend to my dog training clients.Natasja Lewis - NightSabre Dog Training
