Leave It!: How to teach Amazing Impulse Control to your Brilliant Family Dog

by Beverley Courtney

Does your dog steal anything that’s not nailed down?

Learn how you can

• leave food on the table

• forget shoes and toys on the floor

• know your rubbish is safe in the bin

- without having to mount an armed guard to protect it all from your family dog!

This book will take you step-by-step through some simple and surprising games which will turn your thieving rascal into a saintly pooch who can be trusted with cakes on the coffee table, dinner on the counter, biscuits in the children’s hands, and who will confine his chewing to the things you give him to chew.

Instead of saying “This is what you do,” then leaving you to it, professional positive dog trainer Beverley Courtney takes you by the hand and troubleshoots all the games so that you can get them absolutely right for you and your individual dog. And the joy is that this is all achieved without shouting, force, or intimidation. Just pure undiluted fun!

There’s no strange jargon, no “Thou shalt not’s”, and every time you get stuck, another science-backed solution pops up. Beverley’s years of experience - in face-to-face classes as well as her popular online programs - shine through. Having taught thousands of new owners how to work with their puppies and dogs - entirely without force - Beverley knows just what you’re up against!

I've had to park this one for a while. I'm obviously not doing the exercieses right as the dog is getting a bit weirded out.

Definitely better than the first book in the series. The author goes into a bit more detail here, and I greatly appreciate the mention of classical conditioning and operant condition to give the reader an idea of why these exercises will eventually work. She also touches a little bit more on how to effectively use treats, which was greatly lacking in the first book. Still not as super informative as it could be, but definitely straight forward for the common dog owner looking to improve their life with their dog.

This is a short and easy read where you learn how to teach your dog "leave it" and how to apply it to different situations.

A better behaved companion!

A great book about impulse control and how to teach even the most energetic pups into ones you can trust.

🖊 I was curious enough to pick up a copy, and it was worth the little time it took for me to read it. The author states that “Good treats [to give your dog are] Cheese, Sausage, Ham, Chicken, Frankfurter, Salami, Homemade sardine, tuna, or ham cookies, Freeze-dried 100% meat treats, Dehydrated liver, heart, lung, etc” While these may be just what Fido and Fluffy want, I would not feed most of these processed foods to them because of the high salt content and fat content.
