A great read for dog guardians & trainers!

(I was gifted this book by Dogwise publishing)
I've had several rescue dogs myself over the years, and worked with several as well. This book had some lovely stories from the author of her own experiences, and working with rescue dogs.

The theory and behaviour training was easy to understand, and had great examples of those skills in action throughout the book.

I'd recommend this to clients, and colleagues alike!
